Tin Ear Tuesday – XXXmas Fats
Tin Ear Tuesday – XXXmas Fats from pinpointmusic on 8tracks Radio. Santa’s come and gone by now leaving mountains of joy and coal and sugarplums dancing on your filial headaches but we, at Pinpoint (being of the secular humanist sort that only feels alive when their greater deeds are recognized...

Phish New Years Run Madison Square Garden New York City 12-28 to 12/31/2012 It is not New Years without the very famous new year runs from jambands. This tradition was started by the Grateful Dead which gives jambands a special way to celebrate the end of the year with special...

Freeball Friday! Double Deuce
In deference to Michael Stipe’s recent appearance alongside Chris Martin for a stellar rendition of “Losing My Religion,” we’ve decided to commit an entire Freeball Friday! to the power (and pitfalls) of sonic collaboration. Pretty straight forward, eh? ENJOY! Sonic Youth ft. Lydia Lunch – “Death Valley ’69” The baddest...

Tape Wyrm XXXIV: Top 10 or 12 of 2012
That´s it guys and gals. 2012 is over. Nevermind that it’s only mid-December. Get back inside. The end of the year always brings back familiar memories. Whether it is an open fire, the sight of small village children chasing the winter pig through the streets, or even the warm thump...

Ticket Giveaway! The Polyphonic Spree Holiday Extravaganza @ The Fonda 11-6
The Polyphonic Spree are a twenty-headed (give or take) pop choral symphony whose inception came like a dream to leader (and ex Tripping Daisy) Tim DeLaughter on a lazy Texas day at the turn of the millennium and whose Modus Operandi appears to be nothing short of total celebration. I’m...

Tape Wyrm XXXIII: Black Metal Bandcamp
I have wanted to do something with Bandcamp metal. In fact, I have wanted to do this for while. I just never thought it would be with black metal. So, before the end of the year lists come out and we all throw confetti up with jubilation and then look...
