Well, all, I’m back from my trip abroad and am ready to jump right back in to life here. Sort of. I’ll be at the Matt Pond PA/Rocky Votolato show tonight. They were both fantastic when I saw them earlier this year at Subterranean, so this show shouldn’t be any different. If you’re looking for […]

It’s been a bit of a quiet month around here. Â I blame the Mountain Goats. Â Because I can. At any rate, here’s a glimpse of what I spent March listening to.

In my haze of being back to work after a couple of sick days and the weekend, I forgot to put this up earlier. Here it is now. I’m not sure what I’m doing with my music time this week, although I feel like I should try to make it out to something — I […]

This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. I’ll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. The rest of the week is up in the air. I’ll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.

I suppose the holiday weekend makes for a slow concert week. The most exciting stuff is happening over at the Taste of Chicago, really. On Saturday, I’ll be heading to a super-secret location for a teeny-tiny show by Rocky Votolato, who is doing a series of living room concerts over the summer.  There are only […]
