Winter is over, bring on the music. And summer, too.
So jealous - especially since she burned me Scream - I am in love with that CD. Would love to see him with ya'll next week!
Definetly Pnuma Trio/Jazzam. I try to never miss a chance to see Jazzam tho so I may be a little biased, but Ill be at the show asz long as I can talk one of my lame friends into going. If you havent seen Jazzam before they are pretty awesome
Thanks for the input guys. Yea ncbst, I have seen Jazzam twice and they were phenomenal both times. guess i'm makin the trip up to Mr. Smalls here in a few days!
Where in WV you coming from? I havent seen Pnuma Trio yet So I may make it out to this and of course I love Mr Smalls so any excuse to go there is a good one.

Just saw Ra Ra Riot at St. Bonaventure University in their tiny bar on campus. Amazing show, it was really cool seeing a band who's gotten pretty big in indie world doing a small show like that. It also funny when I walked into the bar seeing the lead singer of the band playing ping pong. Definitely a surreal moment.
^^^ saw them with The Little Ones last year. Really, I like TLO better. RRR seems to be riding in on some arcade fire like sound to me (using non traditional instruments and lots of choruses).

I'm comin up from Morgantown (only about 40-45 minutes away from Pittsburgh). Pnuma Trio is pretty damn good, I saw them at Allgood last year. I'm sure that this show will be a good time

just got back from an in-studio performance on WNKU with backyard tire fire. although they only played 3 songs (2 new), it was pretty sweet to be in that kind of setting.
and for anyone who'll be catching them soon on tour, they are no longer a trio, at least for this tour. they've got another guitarist and an accordion/keyboardist player touring with them, so it definitely makes their sound a little different and more fuller.
in between songs they talked with the dj, and mentioned they've been working on a new album with a guy from los lobos. once again they're recording on analog, and said it just feels natural. they also said something about using m. ward's analog recorder/studio for something (maybe a past album).
it was just a really great time, thought i'd share.
I saw Ben Folds last night at a local college arena and it was an incredible show. He's awesome live and definitely recommend seeing him if you haven't already. His opening act, Jukebox the Ghost, was great as well. Immediately accessible, catchy, and very entertaining live. They're the first opening act (who I hadn't previously heard of) to motivate me to buy their album after the show. All in all it was a great night of music.
Got some shows to tell about... Friday - Hackensaw Boys, 123 Pleasant Street, Morgantown - Wow, that was a damn good foot-stompin time, the place was packed with dancin folk and the shots were flowin! got a good video, but alas, I have no idea how to upload
Saturday - Jazzam, PJ Kellys, Clarksburg - I'm so happy that a tiny local bar in my tiny hometown is starting to get some good names. Jazzam blew the roof off the place, these guys have got to be getting big! Met almost all the band members...I asked John (the drummer) about playing Allgood this year and he said that their manager told them it was "hopeful" ...so yea, thats a possibility! We are getting the Bridge here Apr. 23 so I will have to tell yall about it.
Finally recovered from my whirlwind Birthday tour of DC (THANK YOU BUNNY!!! ) Chris Cornell was AWESOME @ 9:30 Club! Best Birthday present EVA! ;D Great set list....yeah heavy on the new CD and his solo stuff but some GREAT Soundgarden, TotD, and Audioslave stuff too....got to hear him close with Jesus Christ Pose again....THAT will NEVER get old! And Chris acoustic....nothing will EVER touch him! And acoustic "Fell On Black Days"....maybe my fave of the night....

we took our 11 year old to sundown in the city last night to see arrested development. it was awesome! they played some classic tracks along with some new stuff. they did a cover of sly and the family stones i wnt to thank you for letting me be myself again. i know thats all 1 word and spelled completely different, but i cant do it this early in the morning. great show and the opening band ripped it with some funk.

It really was great. The 2nd set I think is one of the top performances I've ever seen. They just came out and right away everyone in there knew it we were in for one helluva set.
Drums > Space > St. Stephen was the most mindboggling, soul shaking, yet somehow soothing 30-45 minutes of my life. I have no idea how long it actually lasted, but it felt like eternity. And I mean that in the very best way possible
