Glad someone outside the country music establishment won that honor. Bro-country and all the crap played on the radio should be killed. With fire.

I'm a little late in responding, but that was an instant classic. Who knows how many more times we'll see those two facing each other? Happy for Federer, as I've always admired his game.

I was supposed to catch them in Chicago, but I had to cancel my trip. Wouldn't be a problem if I could find a damn job in Chicago (where I'd like to live). Hoping they might make an appearance in NOLA since Alejandro seems to have a lot of love for it. Peter Buck's pretty much my favorite rock star.

Eh. I was excited at first till I saw that they're scheduled for the same day as Dave Matthews. I can't stand Dave Matthews, and there will be a zillion people there.

Been on an likely best picture kick lately, having seen "Fences," "La La Land," "Moonlight," and "Hidden Figures" (from which I just returned). All are good, certainly better than what usually fares best at the box office. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis are absolutely incredible in "Fences." I very much enjoyed "La La Land" and thought it to be a well-done homage to a bygone era of film. "Moonlight" is pretty heavy stuff but tells a pretty unique story and shows an individual in three distinct stages of his life as well as the experiences that mold him into who he becomes. "Hidden Figures"

Could someone please pin this thread and unpin the one from 2016? Thanks in advance.

Apparently the New Pornographers are readying a new album for release this year. Add that one to my list.

Definitely looking forward to the new Spoon album: http://pitchfork.com/news/70840-spoon-detail-new-album-hot-thoughts/ Also hoping for new material from Washed Out some time in the near future.

Just watched it online. Everything he does is killer. Whether or not country music appreciates him, he's exactly what it needs.

More so because they eschew smaller cities like NOLA now in favor of major metropolitan centers. I'm not a big fan of stadium shows, but I must admit that their show in Tampa in '09 was pretty great.

No love for NOLA. My U2 fandom is waning with every passing year and stadium tour.

The Deslondes

I was hoping for a NOLA show. Dang.

At the benefit show the AWs played in NOLA last month, Greg Dulli said their new album is in the can and will be released this year.
