Saw X at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA last night. The Birchmere is a great venue that has two separate stages -- the Music Hall, which is a big room with tables for all-seated shows, and the Bandstand, which is a much smaller room with a bar and…

Thanks Jonah, I enjoyed this too. You are an excellent and evocative writer. My memories of R.E.M. are more fragmentary.
I remember listening to Murmur in college when one of my roommates started playing it, and I remember getting wast… -

I've had the same problem the past two months. I have two Guvera accounts, one works fine but the second keeps screwing up my downloads. It takes my credits but the box asking me to open or save the file never appears, and when I try to re-downloa…

I got that one and passed, since just last month I paid 0.99 for $16.99 in credit. Maybe they're wising up, but I'm going to hold out for a better offer.

I got the Dave Alvin too, and just listened to it. Excellent stuff, as usual.

To follow up on BigD's find, 7Digital also has the third volume in the History of Rhythm & Blues series (1952-1957 - The Rocknroll years) in 7 Digital Sale Comment by Muggsy June 2011

Saw an interesting show last Sunday night by Black Country Communion, a group I knew nothing about until probably a month ago. The group includes Joe Bonamassa on guitar, Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) on bass and vocals, Jason Bonham on drums, and a k…

I've blown off the rejoin offers at $0.99 for $11.99, but after reading this thread I checked my latest offer, which showed up a couple of days ago, and saw it was actually $0.99 for $16.99. I did jump on that one, though I have no plan to stay onc…

I have a Nook that I'm very happy with. I compared it to the Kindle and read a bunch of reviews before taking the plunge last summer, and felt like it was the best option for me. I wear reading glasses for small print but don't need them with the …

@Luddite:
That's funny, because Tantilla was the first one I heard and it's by far my favorite of theirs. I have the others too, but when I want to hear them I always go f… -
There's a bird outside my window,
There's a song outside my door,
When I wake up to greet the morning,
Gonna blow away that bird for sure.
Stuff a pillow with his feathers,
Pick my teeth with his bones,

Thanks for the Matthew Ryan rec, I was looking for something to use my free d/ls from Guvera for May and there it was. Just listened to it once so far but I like it. -
Richard Thompson live is an experience not to be missed. I see him on average probably every couple of years. He seems to hit the DC area on every US tour, but he doesn't always tour with a full band, and I've seen his solo acoustic shows enough t…

I agree totally on Parks and Recreation. Watched the first season, expecting much, and was mostly disappointed. Second season was a huge step up, and now it's consistently one of the funniest shows on TV. I'm also really enjoying Modern…

Pinetop Perkins. He was 97.

It's been about a month, so I wanted to bump this thread back up. Here's one that's kinda obscure, from a lost 90s power pop classic album (Bingham's Hole by the Mommyheads). Jeff Palmer on bass:

For those like me who are no longer eMusic members, Amazon has the same Fela box for $8.99. The other boxes in the series are $67, so I'm guessing it may not last too long at that price.

What she does in incredibly difficult, but honestly I don't think that had anything to do with her winning the Grammy. I don't know why she won, apart from the fact that she deserved it. She composes, she plays, she sings, and she teaches at Berkle…

I think the second one, called Esperanza, would be the one to start with. I have all three but that was the one I got first and it's still my fave. -
Very sorry to hear about Gary Moore. I just picked up a couple of his early blues albums from the great Guvera giveaway in September. Truly great guitarist.
