So long as John's in the next band...

New song, Gimme Something Good: http://studio.stupeflix.com/embed/uEg6vEw7Sr6L/

Might go up to Portsmouth, NH to see Patty Griffin

The Dandy Warhols Marcy Playground Cracker

Hey, nice meeting you as well. I figured as much... I don't know that the "drug rug" served any purpose but blocking someone's view! Did you stick around for the entire show? Thoughts? Hope you found a good vantage point... I'd imagine she's not a difficult one to photograph See you in Newport, I'm sure

Sharon Van Etten

Was going to start a new thread, but the title is still fitting.... New New Pornographers & a fall tour! http://thenewpornographers.com/

I don't get Jack White.

I like Echo quite a bit-- Room at the Top and Swingin' were the notable singles, I think. IMHO Echo's a stronger album than She's The One, which basically feels like a bunch of Wildflowers b-sides. It's not a Heartbreakers album, but Highway Companion is a decent listen too. I've listened to Mojo maybe 5 times and don't intend on revisiting it again any time soon. The new single shows some promise.

Wilcoworld said 10am yesterday and I think this morning. I logged in and got 2 in the 2nd row at 10am. Soon after I asked a friend if she pulled anything and she said the site said noon so she hadn't even tried yet... I'm not sure what happened. Either way, now I need to sell 2 tickets for NFF!

New single, American Dream Plan B is available via Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-tom-pettys-old-school-rocker-american-dream-plan-b-premiere-20140605 I'm on the fence...

I feel the same way. Frankly, I was more excited about seeing RA at NFF than I was Tweedy. I think I'll still try for presale tickets & let fate decide.

Ugh. I'm cranky that this overlaps with the first night of Newport Folk Fest.

We have a membership to TP's fanclub. Tried for Fenway tickets... two tickets, with the cost of the membership, are $373.85. No thanks.

Got a pair of tickets for The Watkins Family Hour show on Sunday night!

That's about as fair a statement as: "wilco fans are a bunch of middle-aged dads."

The hypocrisy stings a bit. The "golden circle" seats are going to be $130+. That said... I'll (hopefully) be at the Fenway show.

Oh man, that was awesome. I'd watch 90 minutes of that.

Maybe Matt Pond tonight, if I can stay awake for his 10:30 start...

I lucked out & scored 2nd row dead center tickets on craigslist. The comedy tonight was some of the funniest i've ever seen. Daniel Kitson especially, who had me in tears. Neko sounded terrible; that mix was embarrassing, and at Berklee of all places. Figured we'd get a new song of hers, but enjoyed Pauline & one of the only Justin Townes Earle songs I know, Harlem River Blues.

me too

Nickel Creek

Want to trade?

John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats

The live stream has been a good opportunity for me to check out a bunch of Pitchfork bands that I wouldn't hear otherwise. I can't say I've discovered a single band that I like. The worst has to be Future Islands. I almost can't believe that people sincerely enjoy them. The lead singer seems like a nice guy though. Neko Case's set was okay, though it felt like she and the band were just going through the motions. Foxygen's "21st Century Ambassadors" is a bit of a guilty pleasure record for me, but man are they horrible live.
