Nice to see some love for BAM on the phantasy tour - people there can be real messed up sometimes as you all know

The Slip are playing Cafe Du Nord in San Fran on 12/30 and 12/31.

Too bad it's not NYC, can't casually mission to San Fran...

Awesome band from New Orleans

Hey everyone,

Really happy to share my new website with you all.

Thanks.

you know when you're in when you're an amazing band, you finally get a label who knows how to promote, and you finally get some well deserved press.

Solo shows - wish he was playing with the Cardinals

Hey everyone,

Along with posting a new artist mixtape for the band Orienteers, I'm giving away 2 tickets to their show on October 1st at Ranch Relaxo.

They're a great band form Ottawa. Read the post for details.

http://theartistmixtapes.com/2011/09/26/volume-46-orienteers/

a good wilco show but not great. they played almost all over YHF and while it was really nice to hear She's A Jar, I wish Tweedy had nailed the lyrics. The new songs were awesome, was hoping for One Sunday Morning though!

Does anyone have a half decent pair of tickets for tonight they are trying to get rid of?

the shows will likely be about the same, especially 'cause they're promoting the new album

i'd put money on feist showing up to one show, if not both, especially given Tweedy will be playing with her in Toronto soon, and since Leslie showed up to night2 of tweedy's solo shows in toronto not too long ago.

Which part of Roses is 'emo-y', I think live it's a pretty great song, much better than on record. And Brad tore apart the solo section this tour, much better than past versions.

kind of surprised marc isn't playing bass in the barr bros. figured they could have andres stick to keys and have a full time bass player too, could only make things fuller/better

thanks jay, fun fun show

get The Slip over here pronto...make them an offer they can't refuse like Shapiro did from Brooklyn Bowl

My review, not my best, I was pretty hungover when I was writing it...

Summer Of My Fall

Sissyfuss

Tombstone***

Roses In Bottles

That's The Way

I'm No Good At All

The Last One Ever****

* There were 2 slow Nathan songs thrown in there somewhere towards the middle/end. No encore, 1 long set (1.5hrs)

** Nathan left the stage leaving BAM + Marco to jam. Brad then left leaving just the MB3 to jam for a while. Brad tries to lead the song into It's A Long Way To the Top but I saw Marc look at him and shake his head no (guess PB was long enough without it).

*** Nathan's mic cut, there was banter between Nathan and the crowd until he fixed it

**** Mid song, Brad walks off the stage and tears and extended solo in crowd. He then brings his mic down into the crowd and has everyone help sing with him. A bunch of fans climb on stage and sing with Nathan. It was a very awesome moment.

I'll have a proper review with pictures up tomorrow.
