Back from the
Matt Pond PA show at
The Map Room on Tuesday night. The "storm of the century" as E called it didn't amount to anything--no tornadoes or severe lightning or anything. Quick update on areas of interest on this here interwebs:
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead have a session up at
Daytrotter for download.
Pitchfork has photos up of the recent
Bill Calahan/Johathan Meiburg show at the Village Tavern. I don't know who Drew Katchen is, but apparently he was at the
Village Tavern on 2/29 taking photos. I missed the show, but plan on tracking this guy down.
I just discovered
JunkMedia; looks like a cool site.
And the award for
concert-in-an-amphitheater-that-I-would-go-to-and-then-leave-before the-main-act goes to...Jack Johson with special guests
Rogue Wave and
Neil Halstead! I know Rogue Wave released Asleep at Heaven's Gate on
Jack Johnson's label...but where did they pick up Neil Halstead from? I do recommend
"Sleeping On Roads," though.
The Silver Jews are emerging from whatever hole they live in to release a new album, (title here). And their second-ever tour is to follow. The album features
Pernice Brother's guitarist Peyton Pinkerton.
Sixeyes has a new mp3 from the Notwist's new album; their first in 6 years since
Neon Golden (a fine record).
If I cared I would mention that
you can stream Tapes 'n Tapes LP, but their last LP was crappy and for some reason critics went ape-shit over it. And by the time this posts, you can't listen to the streaming album anyway, so nevermind.
Man Man and
The Felice Brothers play at the Village Tavern tomorrow night. The Felice Brothers play an
in-store at Monster Music beforehand. Apparently they're good.
Dave Eggers is giving a public reading at the Brooks Center, Friday, March 7 at 7:30. It's free and it's part of the
Clemson University Literary Festival. Apologies to Woody b/c I can't be there.
That's all. Pix from the Matt Pond PA show and a review coming either tomorrow or Monday.
