Nitro Circus Live

If you've watched Nitro Circus on MTV you'll know what's coming in this video from their live tour. If you haven't then you need to DVR some episodes. Basically combine professional extreme sports athletes with stupidness and you have an entertaining half hour. Anyways, here is the highlight reel from their live tour (hang on to the end for a wheel chair stunt that may blow your mind):

Is that Animal on the Drums?

New Artist Discovery: Gregory Alan Isakov

Well, he isn't "new" but he is new to me. He's been around since 2005 but I've never paid him attention before. Now I am after listening to his latest album "This Empty Northern Hemisphere", which is fantastic and worth the buy. Gregory Alan Isakov is categorized as acoustic, folk, singer-songwriter but he stands out above the rest. Throwing in a light banjo on some songs, using hard strummed acoustic rhythms and sparse drums, he does it different than most and that's where I find my like for him. If I had to compare him I would say he has some of the good elements of Joe Purdy but with more drive, some of Joshua James but with more upbeat songs. Combine that with very good songwriting and you've got one of the hardest names to say in the business: Gregory Alan Isakov.

You can listen to him on his site. Listen to "That Moon Song", "Evelyn", "Big Black Car", "San Fransciso", etc... In fact just hit play on the player and let it go. It's completely worth it.
