It's been more than a week now, but I'm still thinking of that show.
She needs to get a guitar that stays tuned or something. There was so much momentum-draining dead time between some songs.
Maybe other venues have spoiled me, but the sound seemed really muddy.
She's a great performer with great songs, and that was a really good show. I don't mean to be so harsh, but it could have easily been so much better for me.

I should have set this up before I went to the Lydia Loveless concert. Please use the space below to share ten random tracks or talk about music some.
Friday Music Day: HPR and Stetson
It went well. I noticed HPR fading a few times but nothing too bad.
Stetson played a new song with Sarah Neufeld (the opener) that was so many different kinds of awesome.
Oh, and a new Bobby Bare Jr CD showed up in the mail!

FMD — It was 20 years ago today
Freealonzo taking over FMD this week…
This year reminded me that we are hitting the 20-year anniversary of a lot of very good and influential albums. In a way it makes sense, Nirvana’s Nevermind went huge in 1992 and the result was that a lot of “alternative” bands were “discovered” and promoted by the major labels and music consumers were more open to explore the music environment. I think 1994 was the baby boom generated by the phenomena that was Nevemind. In fact I would argue that 1994 was one of the greatest years ever for popular music. Do you agree? What about 1984? Or 1968? 1971? Those years can make a case for best ever as well.
After the break see the list of influential (imho) albums released in 1994 and let us know what year you think was the “greatest ever.” Best thing is there is no wrong answer (listing does not mean endorsement, athough I would swear by most of these albums). Oh and don't forget to drop your lists.

I'm still really excited to be taking my 8-year-old to see Colin Stetson at the Cedar.
Four weeks from yesterday.
What the first concert you attended? Have any of you brought your children to shows? At what age?
My first show was Stone Temple Pilots/Meat Puppets/Jawbox at Roy Wilkins in '94. I was 16.
