Fool in the Rain

I was just watching the Led Zeppelin Song Remains the same concert film again on VH1 classics. Every time I watch that performance it blows me away. It is one of the greatest live music recordings I've seen. In addition to all the members of the band being at their peak, the videography and editing is outstanding as well ...

The National @ Terminal 5

I was invited to go see The National the other night with my friend Emily. This was the opening night of a new venue in midtown west / hell's kitchen called Terminal 5. I had high hopes for the place because its owned by the Bowery Ballroom people who have the best venues in NYC. The venue was in kind ...

Animal Collective @ Webster Hall

I came into Webster Hall with a friend waiting for Animal Collective to start. We were there a little over an hour and 15 after the doors open, seemed like it should be about time for them to start.

After a beer or 2 we realized a band was already playing, it was some kind of weird electronic ambient music ...

Tokyo Police Club @ Bowery Ballroom

I finally got to see Tokyo Police Club last night. I had tried to get tickets several times but they always sold out quick. I got these tickets several months ago and was excited to see this one wasn't sold out yet.

The Bowery is one of my all time favorite venues to see live music. Every time its ...

Black Friday

Over the latter half of 2005 I became good friends with an Oklahoma City band called The Stock Market Crash. The first time I saw them play back in June I was really impressed, no one else in Oklahoma City had a sound like that.

I took a few photos at that first show that I didn't really think ...

Busy few weeks...

The last 2-3 weeks have been really busy for me....

Work has been insane. On a project that is very frustrating at times and everything has to be done NOW. It hasn't been like this until now but I do think it is temporary, so hopefully that will be over soon...

However, I've seen 3 great shows recently ...

Werewolves of London...

I am now in an internet cafe in London. I can hear the sound of the tube through the wall while I'm typing and its just starting to get dark.

On the last day of the festival yesterday I ended up seeing a couple more great shows. I saw the Futureheads, a nice little Scottish outfit that sounded kind ...

Forget the bollacks...

I'm currently in an internet cafe in Reading. My back is kind of sore, my feet have blisters, and my hair is greasy but I'm having a great time.

After night sleeping all night from the last post I didn't sleep much either on the 8 hour flight from Atlanta. It turned out we could have gotten ...

Is It Really So Strange?

Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together

I've been listening to The ...

Everything hits at once...

I'm going to see Spoon tonight @ Opolis. I think it should be a good time. I've got a recording of them playing on Austin City Limits which is very cool. I don't like their latest record Kill the Moonlight quite as well as their previous effort Girls Can Tell but I'm still excited to see them ...
