JarFive The first weekend of Coachella starts a week from today, and I’m starting to get excited. This is my first time going Weekend 1, so I’m going to be just as surprised by everything, as everyone else. Here are a few things (thanks in part to the Reddit sub): After some rain early this…

Good Fridaze
JarFive Arguably the most heavily promoted and written about album year to date, “Cowboy Carter” was released last night. I’m not a huge Beyoncé fan, but I always give her albums a listen. With all the talk of this being a country album, at its core it’s still a Beyoncé album, with a twang here…

Women rule this week’s JarFive
JarFive Brittany Howard’s latest album gives me another reason to look forward to Coachella in two months. After teasing the record with the electronic single “Prove It To You,” the album demonstrates more variety from the enigmatic artist. While I may never get to see her perform Alabama Shakes songs live again, this album is…

Groundhog Day Edition
JarFive On the eve of Grammy weekend, nominated trio boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker) are apparently taking a break. They played a couple of acoustic sets last night, at a secret location in LA. Attendees claim that the group announced their hiatus. I’ve had a few opportunities to see them live, with…
