Music
Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.
Preener's Eve 2011 with The New Standards
Many friends at The New Standards “Preeners” show at Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant.
Been listening to The Decemberists all night.
The Black Keys: Brothers
I heard an interview with The Black Keys on Fresh Air on MPR. That is probably the least hip way I could describe discovering a cool band like The Black Keys. I picked up their new album Brothers and am loving it. I highly recommend it! Make sure to turn up the volume, especially on “Black Mud”.
Listen to “Calamity Song” off of the new Decemberists, and then listen to “South Central Rain” on R.E.M. Reckoning. First 30 seconds.
Bob Mould at The Dakota
Bob Mould blasting it at The Dakota! Awesome! Start with Wishing Well.
Bob just put away the acoustic. Time for electricity! Is this The Dakota? 🙂
At the Dakota for Ruthie Foster show. Nice!
Preener's Eve 2009 with The New Standards
Just seated at The Dakota for The New Standards show with Tammy, Phoebe, and Dave-O! Their cover of “Androgynous” is awesome. Competes with the original. It is hard to not sing along when they play “Snow Day”.
Simply great song from the The Avett Brothers, I and Love and You.
Aaron Kaercher & His Crazy Neighbors playing outside at Northern Grounds Cafe in Ely, MN.
Waiting for Coldplay to take the stage at Alpine Valley!
