More music posts, heh.
Tonight is the Belle and Sebastian/New Pornographers show, looking forward to it, although I hear that the Concourse is kinda meh (acoustically flawed, poor visibility) for live shows, and eep, it’s sold out! I guess we’ll see how it goes, but with two great artists like them, and being in attendance with a few friends, it should be fun.
Friday is the Arab Strap/His Name is Alive show @Cafe du Nord, which is one of my favorite small venues (well, besides the times that it gets overcrowded cos it really *is* tiny, but maybe that’s why I like it, because of its intimacy).
Next week is Noise Pop… too many good bands to catch, not enough time! I’m hoping to catch glimpses of Every Move a Picture, Scissors For Lefty, Her Space Holiday, Citizens Here & Abroad, Thursday, Minus the Bear, The New Amsterdams, Jason Collett and of course, more… but, gah, there are conflicts!
Yay, scenesters.
Man, I think I’m gonna know how Buzz and Willo felt at the end of SXSWm if I really do go to all these shows in the next week or two!
Bonus content, whee! These are my current favorite music podcasts:
- KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic
- NPR’s All Songs Considered
- Zoe’s Radio Show
Some good streams/online radio:
- somaFM‘s Indie Pop Rocks
- BAGeL Radio
- and of course, last.fm streams of my friends …currently Ryan and Robert (these links are last.fm streams)
Music rocks. Literally.
Du Nord smells like pee by the pool table… always has… but by the stage it’s alright… get up in front though…
I don’t go to see shows at du Nord to stand by the pool table… you can’t see performers from there!
