Last night saw Secret Machines (good), Explosions in the Sky (very good) and Trail of Dead (excellent) at the Bowery here in NYC. Trail of Dead weren't very tight, but it was lots of fun. Judging by the crowd reaction, "Baudelaire" should be released as a single. Let's hope Interscope are smart enough to realize this. It's a great track with a huge amount of potential.

NERD~ In Search of
Eels~ Souljacker
Desaparecidos~ Read Music/Speak Spanish

I saw ...Trail of the Dead on monday night at the bowery...really excellent.

Friday I saw Robert Randolph & The Family Band. This guy plays amazing pedal steel guitar and the rest of the band is pretty good as well.

Listened to today:

Will Oldham - "Joya" (this was recently reissued, in case anybody missed it on the first 'go round')


Other things I'm listening to this week:

Songs:Ohia - "Didn't It Rain" (This album really picks up by the end.)

...Trail of Dead - "Source Tags & Codes" (They're playing in Montreal Friday, but I don't think I'll make it.)

Mirah - "Cold Cold Water" (Sooooooo good, it makes me sad that I didn't go see her last month when I had a chance. I am lame.)

Scout Niblett - "Sweet Heart Fever" (Cat Power meets PJ Harvey, sort of. Highly recommended.)

Damien Jurado - "I Break Chairs"

Extra Glenns - "Martial Arts Weekend" (John from Mountain Goats and Franklin Bruno -- excellent so far.)

Mountain Goats – "All Hail West Texas"
