• The Download: My Morning Jacket Live NYE MP3s

  Jim James and Co. are regarded as one of the best live acts out there for a reason, so unless you were at Madison Square Garden last Wednesday (or stuck at home watching bits and pieces from CNN's New Year's Eve coverage,) you missed a doozy of a show. Included in the setlist were the following covers (which are available to download thanks to Brooklyn Vegan): MP3: My Morning Jacket, "Move on Up (Curtis Mayfield cover)" MP3: My Morning Jacket, "You're All I Need (Marvin Gaye cover)" MP3: My

• Cracker Barrel is releasing Dolly Parton's Backwoods Barbie

  Swoon.When we (and by "we," you know I just about always mean "I" -- all the more so in this case) at Wayward headquarters saw the publicity e-mail subject line "COLLECTORS' EDITION OF DOLLY PARTON'S BACKWOODS BARBIE SET FOR EXCLUSIVE RELEASE AT ALL CRACKER BARREL LOCATIONS MARCH 23," a part of us rejoiced. What was this part, you ask? Isn't it obvious? It's the part of us that has always -- we're talking since shortly after birth (though Jungians would argue since long before that event) and p

• Live Review: Margot May @ Crossroads Info Shop

  BY SAMMY LOREN When telling people that I am back in Kansas City after a year in Paris, the most common reaction has been pity. "From Paris to old KC," they say incredulously. "Boy, why on earth would you come back here?" That question, full of disbelief at my misfortune, is answered with three responses: the world's most plentiful thrift stores, the best coffee shop ever (YJ's, baby) and the surprisingly inventive and sanguine music scene. Last night's DIY-folk show featuring Margo May and the

• Strum & Twang: Yogurt, Aspartame, Lenny Kravitz and This Week's Top Country Singles

  ​Judging by the e-mail, some country fans don't cotton to my failure to cotton to everything on country radio. That's cool. You want Rascal Flatts, you can have them. Let me remind you, though, of the great unspoken understanding between reviewer and reader. No matter how high my horse may seem, my reviews, like all reviews, come stamped with an invisible parenthetical caveat: "In my opinion."
