I use Rdio, Spotify (while in the US) and Songza. All of them have their upside and drawbacks. It will be nice to be able to use Spotify all of the time. I do like that with Spotify you can share playlists and libraries- and most of all that you can just stream whole albums rather than mixes or lists.
That was pretty awesome: Tiny Cities Made of Ashes Broke Black Cadillacs Dark Center of the Universe Dashboard Paper Thin Walls Bukowski This Devil's Workday Baby Blue Sedan Night on the Sun Wild Packs of Family Dogs Float On Fire It Up Never Ending Math Equation Dramamine Encore: Custom Concern Doin' the Cockroach A Different City The Good Times Are Killing Me
When the tour was announced it was sort of expected to be a 'preview-the-album' kind of tour, but it hasn't turned out that way. Each night has had a nice selection of tunes from all of their phases / albums. I have a friend who is playing with one of the openers and his reports about the shows have been superlative laden.
Matt Anderson is a pretty awesome blues guy from New Brunswick and the reports that came out of Hillside this weekend were glowing. He is playing with an 8 piece band, w horns!, and apparently brought the house down in Guelph on Friday night. Enjoy!
I should have trusted my gut and stayed home for the webcast instead of going to Hillside to see it get cancelled as The Wood Brothers were gearing up. Ugh.
Tune in to WFUV Public Radio tonight at from 6p - 7:30 EST to hear Ryan's set live from Newport Folk Festival. Listen online at: http://www.wfuv.org/listen
