Dang. I'll be in the air when the pre-sale starts for the NOLA show.

From last night: Old Crow Medicine Show & the Avett Brothers

Just pre-ordered the CD. I want one of those drawing prizes! Fingers crossed...

Just one listen in for me, and that will probably be it because I'm fading quickly. My immediate impression is that this is a very solid album. Not a single-heavy record, but that's totally OK. It works better in its entirety. I really like it, I will probably like it more with additional listens, and I'm glad they chose to go in a different direction with their sound. And a huge "thank you" to the band for releasing this free and by surprise. What an unexpected treat!

Must be. I also submitted my Yahoo address.

How long does it take to receive the e-mail with the download link? It's been well over 30 minutes since I submitted my e-mail address.

Just saw Water Liars at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in NOLA. Left with two of their CDs and will definitely catch them the next time they're down this way.

There's a bundle which includes notecards. Not sure why, but I'm unable to post links via my work computer. Otherwise I'd provide a link to the book on the band's site.

Anyone else thinking about ordering this book?

Also streaming at NPR.

Streaming now at NPR.

I thought it was a solid show. His voice was surprisingly good given his age, and his band was really tight. The video shown when he played "Meat Is Murder" was unsettling, and I wish he'd played more than one song during the encore. One interesting thing is that he may be the first musician on his scale who offered none of his music for sale at the show. At least I didn't see any. Here are links to a couple of articles on the show from the local paper: http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2015/06/morrisseys_us_tour_opener_at_t.html http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2015/06/morrisseys_cha

Morrissey at the Saenger in NOLA.

Still hoping for a proper NOLA show, but it looks like I'll have to settle for the Pilgrimage Music Festival in Franklin, TN.

Uncle Tupelo's "Anodyne" is top notch in my book. Sentimentally (because R.E.M. is my favorite all-time band), and because it's an underrated album which too few people heard, I I'll also agree about "Collapse Into Now." I know they weren't the same after Bill Berry retired, but I miss that band.

This album gets better with each listen, and if I had to vote today it would be my album of the year.

Such an irreplaceable treasure. I was fortunate enough to be front and center (about three or feet away from him) for his late-night show at Club Ebony in Indianola during his 2001 homecoming. An experience I'll never forget. He was great ambassador for my home state and for the blues.

Not sure I can officially narrow it down to five, but off the top of my head: 1. "Lifes Rich Pageant" - R.E.M. 2. "Anodyne" - Uncle Tupelo 3. "Being There" - Wilco (I kinda felt like at least one Wilco album was a mandatory inclusion) 4. "Kind of Blue" - Miles Davis 5. "Picaresque" - The Decemberists

Sufjan Stevens at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. I'm pretty excited given the reviews of some of his recent shows.

I think I'm gonna have to make that festival. My two favorite bands (Wilco & The a Decemberists) along with Willie Nelson, Charles Bradley, Iron & Wine, Weezer, Dr. John, et al.

The same exact thing happened to me for the New Orleans show this Saturday. I got fifth row (left of stage, but I think my seats are close to the aisle in the center). Very much looking forward to this show.

I'm a day behind because I went to a late-night show after Jazz Fest wrapped up for the day. I saw Bonsoir Catin/ DJ D. Lefty Parker, The Deslondes and Feufollet at Siberia, an eclectic little club in New Orleans. Keep your eye on The Deslondes, whose first album is scheduled for release next month.
