Well, as usual I am crazy busy. But what would this journal be without a TMBG show report ( Read more... )

Finally, a report on the Beacon show! I have a bit of time to get this out now, so I better do it quick!

Pictures here.

( you scratch my back and I'll scratch your record )

Last night I went to see TMBG play at TLA in Philly, and man, was that a good show.

I haven't been to a Summer Breeze concert since my first year when they had Ok Go and Bela Fleck. Since then none of the bands have interested me, but this year they had Spoon, and I was totally psyched.

The Get-A-Mac ads just keep getting better and better. Yay for John Hodgman ( Read more... )

It seems like I start out most of my show reports this way, but it's so true: the Decemberists did not disappoint at their concert Saturday night. They put on a totally rockin' show as expected, with plenty of audience participation.
