(and I know you’re out there) The ever-fantastic rbally has posted a Ryan Adams show from October 17, 2006 in Germany. I am downloading as we speak. It’s supposedly “extra-jammy” which may be a good thing or bad thing depending on your tastes. If nothing else, it’s free (and legal). The price is right! :) [...]
I finally got to see my favorite super group in full glory last night as Golden Smog played The Vic Theatre in Chicago. To answer the big question, yes, Jeff Tweedy played the entire show (or at least the songs that featured him). It was really interesting to see Tweedy in this setting since he [...]
I always thought I was strange how I match up/put certain things together. Back in October of 2003, I wrote up a post/review of My Morning Jacket’s “breakthrough” album, “It Still Moves”. Here’s what I wrote… “This sound adds a shallowness and, to me, paints this strange orange and brown color in my head that [...]
What music fan hasn’t wasted hours combing through the contract riders of their favorite musicians over at The Smoking Gun? If you haven’t, hop to it. You can thank me later… I bring this topic up because I may have just found the greatest contract rider of all time in an article that the LA [...]
- Liz and I went and saw Trey Anastasio/Mike Gordon and the Benevento-Russo Duo last night at Northerly Island (thanks again, Mo, for watching Maggie). What a great show. It really renewed my faith in all things Phish. I also have to say that The Duo are unreal. Go download a couple of mp3s from [...]
I cannot think of a more fitting “song of the day” than what just finished playing on my iPod right before my phone just rang. Someday, I shall explain… “Strange” by R.E.M. (off of the Document album) There’s something strange going on tonight There’s something going on that’s not quite right Michael’s nervous and the [...]
I took full advantage of all of the musical instruments that are available to patrons of the Experience Music Project while attending the final party of Gnomedex 6. Here’s a short video of me on drums (Matt is playing guitar). First time drumming… yeah man. I’m having some problems embedding this, so here’s a link [...]
A year or so ago I heard about an upcoming reality show, entitled “Long Way Round“, that featured Ewan McGregor and his friend, Charley Boorman, where they rode a pair of motorcycles around the world (literally ~ from England to New York going east). I never heard anything more about it until a couple of [...]
Friday night, Liz and I had a “date night”. Big deal, right? Well, I can count on one hand how many times just Liz and I have gone out since Maggie was born (15 months, now?)… And one of those times was to visit our accountant and have our taxes done, so that kinda says [...]
this seems to a pretty fitting song lately. I have to say that it’s one of my favorite songs done live by Jeff Tweedy and/or Wilco. “We’ve Been Had” by Uncle Tupelo (off the Anodyne album) There’s a guitar leaning on a Marshall stack Used to sound like the sun on the horizon Now I [...]
