2008-04-02 16:40:00 One of the secondary pleasures of Movie Night at Bottletree is that I feel more free to pick whatever poster strikes my fancy for this post.

2008-04-01 17:17:00 Let's all pray to the lizard for the continuation of these sustaining April Showers. I'd really like my water bill to die and my dogwoods to live. I hope everyone enjoyed their listen yesterday, but let's take it back to the streets, shall we?Dirtbombs / Kelley Stoltz @ BottletreeAdmission: 10$Zero Hour: 9PM Dirtbombs is an appropriate moniker for a band that counts two drummers and two bassists among its members. It's gonna be muddy, loud and blowing up in your face. Sounds like a grand 'ol night on the town to me.Kelly Stoltz has showtunes listed twice for his myspace genre, and though he certainly not of that schmaltzy genre, his music does contain it's sense of playful melody and storytelling.Tonight's gonna be a good one, I can feel it in my marrow. My marrow rarely lies. More About: Pick

2008-03-31 19:12:00 Musically speaking, today is dry as a bone. The rest of the world looks like it's fixin' to get wet, but except for a few regular standby spots, there is very little going on tonight. I hate doing this, but I recommend that you stay home tonight. Put some new tunes on and have a listen. There have been a ton of great new album releases in the past weeks, so pick your poison and crank it up to 11. Here are a few of my personal favorite new releases:The Raconteurs - Consolers of the LonelyGnarls Barkley - The Odd CoupleThe Black Keys - Attack & ReleaseThe Black Crowes - WarpaintCounting Crows - Saturday Nights & Sunday MorningsR.E.M. - AccelerateThat ought to keep you busy until tomorrow.

2008-03-29 16:11:00 All apologies for not getting the picks up yesterday. Know that if it's the weeekend, the picks will still be up on The Terminal's Timetable. Here's your consolation prize:Grayson Capps and the Stumpknockers @ The NickAdmission: $7Zero Hour: 10 p.m.Lucky for us, Greyson Capps has the bachelor blues, and the only way he has to get it out is to play country tinged blues till he forgets his woes. Not that you could tell from his mug to the right. When it comes down to it, if a man can sing, and he’s singin’ the blues, I’ll listen a spell. More About: Pick

They’ve got a little bit of good ol’ bluegrass, a touch of jam, and a whole lot of rootsy get-down. These guys came up out of the Austin scene and have been doin’ their thang for a while now, and recently got some spotlight on NPR.

2008-03-24 20:33:00 Hello my beloved readers. I am laid out in bed today with the flu, so I hope you can all forgive me for how late I'm posting these. And now, without further ado:Martin Royle / Stars @ WorkplayAdmisssion: 15$Be There: 8PMI was wary of Martin Royle at first, but all fears were assuaged. He's got theatrical style, but he will scream into the mike just when he's lulled you into a false sense of security. At once fragile and imperturbable, a wall that crumbles and rebuilds.Stars is a similar experience, though not in a sonic way. Their arrangements are so lush, and beats so dancable that it's easy to call it all fluff, but the more you delve, the deeper it goes. They do share a theatrical sensibility with Martin, and should you go I think you will be thoroughly entertained.I will unable to attend, 'cause I'm stuck in bed, so if anybody goes and feels like reporting back to me with details (or photos), I would gladly accept them. No video or poster today guys, I'm feeling kinda woo... More About: Music , Alabama , Live , Local
