Ben Sollee and The Wood Brothers

Thanks, Bbop, I was wracking my brain trying to come up with the setlist. A couple of things I wanted to mention: I was really impressed with how nice Jeff's voice sounded tonight. He may have goofed on some lyrics here and there, but I thought he sounded about as nice as I've ever heard him.I was thankful that the crowd was well behaved. After my experience at the Boulder Theatre a few years ago, I anticipated a lot of talking. I'm not sure if it's a northeast thing, or if Denver an anomaly... But doesn't the crowd usually sing most of Jesus Etc? I don't recall a time where Jeff was at the m

How was it? I'm bummed I didn't make it to NYC for those shows. I suppose the sliver lining is that I saved myself a bunch of $$.

Later, when the name of the late Jay Bennett, a former bandmate, was invoked, Tweedy responded: “He was my friend. Was he your friend? ... He would have hated you.” I'm curious as to what the context is for this comment? Looks like a great set, I can't wait for Denver.

NPR is now streaming Songs: Ohia's Magnolia Electric Co. (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) and I can't stop listening to the demos. Particularly the demo of Farewell Transmission, the song that turned me on to Jason Molina's music.

This is me peer pressuring you to make the trip!

She was really entertaining. I don't know if I enjoyed her banter or music more... Either way, thinking of going to her show in Harvard Square on the 17th.

Colin Meloy.

Amazing show! The crowd seemed really into to it (though I was hoping we'd stay standing for the encores). She and Kelly work so well together. Only bummer was not hearing Local Girl. Love those harmonies.

Neko Case!

Fiona Apple & Blake Mills

Chris Thile!

Me too! Can't wait.

Lucky you. I'm hoping to see him this weekend.

Béla Fleck’s Banjo Summit. Words cannot describe.

Great voice, but they need to work on their live show. Boston's set was lacking momentum; the stage banter was cringeworthy at times. I did get both of their CDs though, I'm excited to give them a listen. BT were great. I'm getting over a cold and wasn't able to muster the strength to stay for the entire show. I'm not sure why they were booked for a 10:15 start on a Sunday night. Royale was empty, it was a bit embarrassing. A better venue and a different time slot and there would've been a more impressive turnout.

Saw them read from their new book and do a Q & A at the Brattle. It was hilarious... Even got a book signed by them afterwards. How was the show you went to?

Doesn't get much better.

Got 4 for CO. Row R... Will try for better on Friday.

Facebook announcement: Jeff Tweedy will play 2 nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco, Dec. 11 & 12. Tickets on sale Sun. Sept. 15 at 10am. More show announcements coming soon.

Waiting for a tour announcement, then I'm booking my vacation.

A solid review from Pitchfork: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/18451-neko-case-the-worse-things-get-the-harder-i-fight/

Funny you say that... "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" is my current fav on the record. It was the biggest the surprise.

On my third listen... I love it.
