Ryan Adams: Live in Jamaica
Back in 2002, Ryan Adams released the DVD "Music in High Places", an ongoing series that has musicians perform their songs in tropical environments. This is the audio from these performances, one with the ever famous Frederick "Toots" Hibbert when they play "Hard Time Situation". Besides this reggae rendition, Ryan Adams along with The Cardinals, take on "New York, New York", "Firecracker" as well as others. Its nice to hear these songs stripped down accompanied with some interesting hand drums and performed in a unique way. If you're a Ryan Adams fan this is worth a listen.
Confederacy in Brooklyn
I was in a bar. It was in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn where you often find a division between young artistic types and life-long Polish locals. We went to this specific bar because we were celebrating our friends birthday. I have been to said bar a few times a couple years back and found it welcoming, often empty and having the perfect dive bar jukebox. When we walked in everything we saw was not what I expected to see.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery
Herbie Hancock, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1964
The Morrison Hotel Gallery, located in New York City, has one of of the best collections of music photographs around. Taken over the years, there are so many photographs that captured some of the most influential people in music. Below is the "About Us" taken from their website.
The Morrison Hotel gallery is about people. Founded in 2001 by former record company executive and producer Peter Blachley, former independent record store owner Richard Horowitz and music photographer Henry Diltz, The Morrison Hotel Gallery, which represents world renowned photographers, has grown to become the place to purchase fine art music photography. As you view some of the most inspiring and iconic images of music and musicians photographed over the last fifty-plus years, think about the people who existed on both sides of the lens. The photographers had no idea what they were creating or how historic the imagery would become. It is a one-second click of the shutter that creates a timeless moment in our lives.

My Morning Jacket & Boing Boing
It is safe to say that Boing Boing is easily one of my favorite websites out there. Combining technology, art, current events and everything in between, Boing Boing delivers on a daily basis. Well they linked up with My Morning Jacket, argued one of the better better bands touring right now (who hit the road soon), when they were in Oakland. Sit back and enjoy the time well spent between BB & MMJ.

Martin Dosh
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Martin Dosh is an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist who is currently the drummer for Andrew Bird. I was not aware of the man until I saw the Bird documentary "Fever Year", a documentary follow Bird and his band on the road, in which Dosh was featured. It was there that informed me about how talented Dosh really is when it comes to loops and layers. Below is a video of him at home playing with Mike Lewis
