Yes! We're still doing the show! This week we've got the Genre School we've been promising for ages. We cover some alt-country basics you should know. Plus, we have a special in-studio performance by a local band Echoes Talk Back.
This week is our episode all about love, in honor of Valentine's Day. Dan Berg interviewed Locksley at Dragonfly Studios. Be sure to sign up to watch some of their acoustic performance. Then it's a special love-themed Got You Covered with Jason Mraz, Jamie Cullum, and New Found Glory. Congratulations to our contest winner!
It's finally here! Our top album picks for 2009. Each Dan has chosen 4 albums individually, and one agreed upon as the best album of the past year. Plus, we discuss a little about Rolling Stone's own top album list.
It's been one year since the launch of Mess of Music, and we're celebrating by reliving some of our favorite moments of the past year. We each selected two of our favorite moments, and we end with a full-blown montage. Be sure to sign up for members only content to view our Christmas playlist selections.
