Just picked up the Big Star live tribute thing. Really digging it so far.

Jason Isbell is playing in Portland OR when I'm there, so I took it as a sign and bought tix. I always check concerts in towns when I travel, maybe because I rarely set aside time to catch acts in STL. This is first time the stars have aligned like this. (though I've seen some good free concerts on vacations).

I am completely engrossed in this Rival Sons kick. They are the first band I've bought albums from in a while. I've bought four this month.

Going to the show?

MN Public Radio is finishing a member drive today and the music (non classical) station is doing a countdown of the 893 essential artists, as compiled by top 10 lists submitted by listeners. They're down to #81 and will finish today. You can see the list so far and stream live here:

Wish I would have seen this sooner. Yes, we were there last night. It was epic. First time at Delmar Hall too. That's a great place to see a band.

I never travel far without a little Big Star.

So I'm at my third concert this week. Saw Govt Mule Monday, Rival Sons Wednesday, and Larry McCray today. It's been a good week.

Huge news for chill folks who like to occasionally cheef it and hike in the woods/stare at stars.
Fleet Foxes are back (now with 100% less Father John Misty).

3 tracks out, so far so great.

I'm downloading every live show ever from the Grateful Dead for my brother-in-law for his birthday (that, plus a portable hard drive). If you're a fan of theirs, and have always fancied owning every bit of music they ever did (that was recorded) then I am more than happy to run you off a copy too.

That has to be a huge amount of music. My uncle would love that.
