Last weekend I saw two shows on back to back nights. Saturday was Michael Shannon, Jason Narducy and Friends tribute to early R.E.M. They played Murmur, the Chronic Town EP, most of Reckoning and a handful of other tracks off the first few reco…@stewrat I saw that same show a couple of weeks ago in DC, it was the first night of the tour. Jason and Bob were both on top of their games. Solo electric is not an easy gig (fo…This week I saw the Big Star show in DC celebrating the 50th anniversary of their first album. I don't know what you call it, is it a tribute band if the only surviving member (Jody Stephens) is there? Chris Stamey, Jon Auer, Mike Mills and Pat…Saw Iron Maiden at Capital One Arena in DC Sunday night. I generally avoid arena shows, but I've never seen Iron Maiden and they're not doing a club tour any time soon. I was at Capital One to see Roxy Music about six weeks ago, and saw Maiden …(Quote)
I have collected lots of Criterion editions over the years (on Blu-ray, DVD and even laserdisc). As a general rule, the Criterion editions are very well done with lots of extra features, and the transfers are usually superior to…This past weekend I had a friend in town (DC area) to see a couple of shows. We had tickets for Roxy Music and St. Vincent at Capital One Arena, and Bauhaus at The Anthem. Then Bauhaus canceled because Peter Murphy went to rehab, so I was looki…RIP Joey DeFrancesco. Amazing organist, trumpet and sax player, and all around musical phenom from my hometown of Philadelphia. Only 51 years old.
I saw Gang of Four at the Black Cat in DC last Wednesday night. Amazing show. I bought the tickets several months ago then forgot about it until receiving an upcoming calendar email from the venue on Tuesday, which led with "Gang of Four, tomor…Dallas Good of the Sadies.

The tour was postponed, of course, and the DC show was rescheduled for September 2021…Saw King Crimson and the Zappa Band in DC at the Anthem last Saturday night. It was my first show at the Anthem (my favorite music venue in DC) in over two years, they just started up again within the past few weeks. Proof of vaccination or neg…Agreed @omnifoo on all the clicks. I now delete the emails and have largely stopped downloading in favor of streaming to avoid running out of HD space, but it's still busier than…I love Bandcamp. It's not perfect, and I have noticed some of the search-related issues noted above, but they do not detract from my enjoyment of the site. And even if it was a logistical nightmare, I would continue to buy there because: (1) most of…This may seem obvious but it's an astonishing four year run.
+1 on the Bowie albums, for sure. The Man Who Sold the Worl…I know I can download Spotify tracks to my phone and listen that way, but it takes up valuable storage space on the phone. Cloud storage means I can access my music anywhere I have an internet connection. Using Amazon Music, as an example, I ca…I do like the idea of looking at my collection like a radio station, or my own personal Spotify. Changes the perspective a bit and lessens the self-inflicted pressure to listen to everything, or to delete things that don't ring my bell at a par…@rostasi thanks for the software suggestions.

My desktop computer is a five year old iMac, running iTunes, which has always had problems with …Funny, I saw this thread, read the last few posts, then went back and started from the beginning. As I was reading, I was thinking about my own history with REM, and started writing a post in my head. Then I came to the post I already wrote, nine ye…
