When I got these photos, I was all excited for the briefest of moments, because I thought that Amy Weiser had finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of owning a Delorean. But as it turns out, there’s a band called Delorean and they make music, but from what I can tell, none of them actually own […]
Photos from Pitchfork: Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem
Schedule a Wolf Parade, invite a few people and turn up the LCD Soundsystem and everything will be just fine….especially if you’re at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Photos of Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival by Amy Weiser.
Photos from Pitchfork: Titus Andronicus
If you’re looking for action, blood and guts, Titus Andronicus is a good place to start in the catalog of William Shakespeare. Inspired by Shakespeare’s title, indie rockers Titus Andronicus had the thought that “Titus Andronicus” would make for a great band name. It’s certainly an inspired choice (and just when you thought the world […]

Rappin’ with Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett
Last week I had the opportunity to chat with Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett about his new solo release, credited to Chris Shiflett and the Dead Peasants (also available on vinyl!). Presumably, Shiflett was able to locate some new peasants, because he’s currently out on tour supporting the new release, playing a series of shows […]
Setlist: Paul McCartney in Kansas City, 7/24/10
It’s still the “greatest show on Earth” and I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers. After nearly 18 hours of bus and car travel, it only took a few seconds of “Venus and Mars” to validate what a great choice I’d made road tripping it to Kansas City to see Paul McCartney. For three hours, […]
Crowded House + David Byrne in NYC
When I saw David Byrne at Bonnaroo last summer, it was damn close to a religious experience for me as a music fan. So you can probably imagine my excitement when I saw that Byrne made a guest appearance with Crowded House during their NYC performance earlier this week. According to the official Crowded House […]
We’re going to Kansas City…..
….Kansas City, here we come! As the week came to a close, the girlfriend got an unexpected pair of tickets to see Paul McCartney’s first performance in Kansas City in 17 years. Which means that I had to make the very difficult choice to hop on a Greyhound bus to go see the show with […]
DVDs You Probably Need: Nils Lofgren “Cry Tough”
Besides the recent release of Live in Hyde Park, things have been otherwise a bit quiet for Springsteen fans. I’ve been amusing myself, attempting to collect the 2005 Japanese remasters, which are slowly starting to trickle onto the shelves at Half Price Books. So far, I have (at $7.99 a pop) Nebraska, Plugged, Born to […]
