Virgin Festival: A few photos
I’m smiling this morning after yesterday’s events, which included music from Cat Power, The Swell Season, Lupe Fiasco, and a Matt-pleasing one-two wrapup of Wilco and Foo Fighters back to back! Just a few pieces of photographic evidence….. Lupe Fiasco (for Todd) The mighty Wilco playing a set as the sun begins to set…. While […]
On the eve of Virgin Festival
Ah yes…..Virgin Festival 2008 is here!! We had a great time at last year’s fest, although our hotel room accomodations left a lot to be desired… Seriously though, you can’t beat a day that opens with Fountains of Wayne and Cheap Trick back to back. And, I saw a wonderful performance from Amy Winehouse – […]
Tour News: Matthew Sweet
I’ve had a Matthew Sweet post on tap for a while, that’s been holding, because I was hoping to dig up a “sweet” show that I’ve got from the tour for In Reverse. That’s going to have to wait, because that particular disc remains lost somewhere in “will I ever find all of my stuff” […]
Great adventures in musical segues part one….

The U.S. shows begin with a date at Red Rocks opening for Jethro […]
Good Listening: The Brought Low
So I mention The Yayhoos in one of my recent posts, and lo and behold, the spirit of the Yayhoos saw fit to deliver a genuine real rock and roll band to a club right down the street from my house last night. I walked a quick block from my house to The Hi-Fi Concert […]
Good Listening: Howard Jones – Frankfurt, Germany – 3/14/2008

I’ve been fortunate enough to see a number of shows at the Fraze over the years, and as previously discussed, I will make my return this weekend to catch the annual Mix Summerfest. […]
