Well this is definitely a change of pace. I’m up in LA for the first show of the Dear Boy residency tonight and will return to my humble home of San Diego tomorrow when I have to get back to reality. However, this week is the San Diego Music thing which has some great acts playing like Ra Ra Riot, New Politics, The Silent Comedy, Transfer, Dead Feather Moon, FIDLAR, The Album Leaf, Little Hurricane, and so many more. You can find the lineup for the music fest here. It’s a great way to sample music all around San Diego. If that’s not your thing, there are a *few* other options for you to indulge in though. I’m tired just looking at the schedule. Whew.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 9/2-9/8

Posted on by Amanda

This calendar post is coming to you a little late for a few reasons. Reason 1: Spent all day yesterday cleaning out and reorganizing my tack shed at the barn which made getting up at a decent hour this morning a little difficult. Reason 2: On the way to the barn this morning a beautiful Siberian husky had decided to cross a busy street on it’s own and stop traffic. Fortunately, the dog stopped right at our truck, we picked it up, and proceeded to look for the owner since it didn’t have a collar. Thankfully, we found the owner in less than 20 minutes and did a good deed for the day. However, that meant getting to the barn even later so….. yeah.

Posted on by Amanda

I don’t know about you but I had a busy weekend and it all caught up to me on Sunday when I crashed and burned. Thankfully, I feel fully recovered today but I will probably never recover from watching the VMAs last night. It’s funny to me that MTV still has an awards show for music when they never air music videos. The M in MTV stands for something other than music these days. Does anyone else remember the days of TRL (Total Request Live) which was an actual music video countdown? I do. But I digress, there’s actual real live music out there to go see so go go go!.

New Music Tuesday 8/20/2013 featuring: William Beckett, Andrew Belle, Ben Rector, and more!

Posted on by Amanda

Welcome to a very special New Music Tuesday! Why is it special? Because it’s my birthday and I decided to hijack the posting duties from Kristen today. He he. Hope you enjoy!

William Beckett– Genuine and Counterfeit

I’ve been a long time fan of William Beckett, ever since the days of The Academy Is… After the band broke up, he decided to go out on his own, start over, and do things his own way. After multiple ep releases over the past year, he is finally stepping out with his first full length record. Admittedly, I’m not a fan of the beginning, but as the storyline throughout the album develops, I fall in love.

Andrew Belle– Black Bear

Andrew Belle is a recent discovery for me after something on the Noisetrade email told me I should check him out and I’ve been listening ever since. There’s something I really enjoy about the airiness that makes me feel like I’ve been transported to a whole other place. I’m sure if you check out his newest release you will be feeling the same way.

Ben Rector – The Walking In Between
Ben Rector is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. His piano pop songs are fresh and fun yet still have the ability to hit you in the heart. I’ve hear some of this record and it seems to fall in line with what we’ve all come to know and love about Ben.

Travis – Where You Stand 

When I saw Travis was releasing a new album, I did a little jump for joy. These British rockers were part of the first concert I ever attended back in high school. I was so enamored that I used the band as a subject for an AP English project and promptly made “Why Does it Always Rain On Me?” my anthem. Fran Healy is, for me, the epitome of brit rock vocalists as well as a master lyricist. I can’t wait to dig into this album, their first in 5 years. The band is coming to LA Oct. 4th
playing The Wiltern.

Releases from 8/13/13:

The Wild Feathers – The
Wild Feathers
Royal Teeth –Glow
Ty Segall – Sleeper
Yellowcard – Ocean
Avenue Acoustic
Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know?
