very nice..

my daughter (sorry Forbin) wanted to go but has other commitments.. she was bummed.. I told her that with growing up (sorry Forbin) comes certain obligations.. she didn't like it.    

let me know how the show goes.

Concert was great. The place was packed and it definitely had a different vibe than a lot of shows. So many people probably thought they'd never get a chance to see them live since they had been broken up for so long so the atmosphere was crazy. They played pretty much the entire Aeroplane record  with about 8 or 9 others from their first album + EPs. It was funny how nuts everyone went for any Aeroplane song and then when any other songs played everything went back to normal concert mode. Ended with Ghost Ghost and Two Headed Boy Part 2.

awesome. thanks.

I've only been to Crofoot once and was impressed with the place. The downtown Pontiac area, though, was like a ghost town...

glad you enjoyed the show!

I actually like the ghost townery because it makes it really easy to park and leave. I've been to about 6 concerts there over the past few years (Of Montreal 3 times, Phantogram with Future Islands, NMT and someone else) and I'm a big fan. Nice venue with the outdoor area and balcony. Intimate setting and it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to get close to the stage. Never takes long to get a drink or take a leak. Plus the shows are generally pretty cheap. Generally 15$-25$ and pretty much never above 40$. I was excited they added the Crofoot show because originally they were just doing the Royal Oak Music Theater and I'd take the smaller, seatless venue any day.

Reminds me of the 90's indie style.

Bob Dylan that thread inspired me...

Woooont yooouu come see me, queeen Jane?

Since I'm currently on the toilet, I am listening to a $15 Honeywell 3-speed fan, set to High.

"Buttons" by The Weeks...

an older Slobberbone record.. good stuff.

Car Talk. The guys are killin' it.

Portugal. The man.

Vysotsky makes that fucking that fucking that fucking bob Dylan look like Justin Beiber.

We can't say B-O-B anymore?  

Japandroids - Celebration Rock album..   

Best song ever, CITY BOY CHIEF   

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I've recently discovered that yo can listen to old English men tell Greek mythology stories on Spotify. So that.

the new Cory Branen rekkid..

My laptop's fan, which kicked into high gear a couple of days ago for no apparent reason and won't f'ing stop.

The National - Live from Sydney Harbor..

Two Door Cinema Club. Discovered them recently and I like what I hear.

Finally got around to downloading The Black Market.

I hear their sounds rumbling through the house periodically.. fun band, so it seems.

I've got this country song rolling around in my head right now, but it won't stop playing--like it's incomplete or something.

you want to hear a storyteller (not named Taylor Swift) who can also shred the geetar?

check out James McMurtry and "Choctaw Bingo"...

How about some Robert Earl Keen or Jason Boland and the Stragglers.

Sakimano and Nigel whine about Trevor.

Had never heard of them until recently hearing a few songs on some obscure XM station called Iceberg (plays Canadian Alternative). Great 2 piece band.

yeah - I think they're from Vancouver.. and, yes, they don't sound like at two piece band which makes me wonder if they could pull it off live..

still that's a great record - got a good summertime vibe to it.

Canada is making the best music of the last decade. That's a completely factual statement that can't be refuted.

freakin' brilliant.. saw Whiskeytown more times than I can count in their early days.. sometimes with 30-40 people in the room.

I wonder why kids are trying to rip off Springsteen just now as opposed to years ago... I wonder how long it takes for bands to start ripping off the legends? I mean, these kids, I'm guessing, weren't even alive for Bruce's heydey...

Do our parents really have that much of a stranglehold on us?

Like a subconscious thing?
