new Byrne/Eno record... damn this thing is good so far... was NOT expecting a pop record at all

Very solid indeed. Far exceeded my expectations...and I've a David Byrne fanboy.

Here is my review/photos of the Milwaukee show at the Pabst Theater. It was a great night for everyone involved!

seeing him tonight.

AA Bondy opens up - gonna be a great night!

he gets pretty frustrated with talking, heckling, etc. Will leave the stage in a heartbeat if people are being obnoxious.

Seen him 5 times, first time in a room of about 50 people. He's notorious for being difficult, but is an A+ performer if he's not in a room full of drunks. From what I've heard and read he's gotten a lot more comfortable in his skin, but I guess the tour will have to start before we see if that's true or not.

Tom Waits - 7/5/08 - Atlanta - NPR Streaming concert

gave it a 5.5 - WTF. I'm not surprised they've never been in this band's corner. It will be fun to watch as everyone else's opinion shifts on the album and it goes nowhere. It's a shame.

I've never been even a casual fan of Bright Eyes, but I really like this record. Straight forward and easy to get behind.

Time Since Western - A Sun Goes Down

Spiritualized was great and King Khan was a pleasure as well. Spoon played for 55 min.

Cut Copy sounded good from a distance.

M Ward was a lot of fun, probably my favorite.

Only going on Sunday - looking forward to M. Ward and King Khan

I'm a big fan, haven't really stopped listening to it since getting it. As Kyle says, loads better than their last one.

Graceland to start. Many people don't know much about his more recent release You're The One, which is beautiful from start to finish. Each time we get a used copy of it in at the record store I work at I put it on immediately and it always sells before we lock up the doors for the night.

you think?

 

i like it way more than the last one, that's for sure, and it is a very consistent record, but there's no standout tracks really at all, whereas the first 2 records had 3-4.

It's been some time since I listened to Bows +Arrows, but this record I just can't stop listening to. I really like tracks 1, 7, 9, and 11.

This could be their best.

saw him on my birthday in Jacksonville, got some decent pics:
