THE RACONTEURS, BIRDS OF AVALON (Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell) Mr. White or not, I pity the Raconteurs for having to follow Birds of Avalon. Anyone thats seen BoA, or Paul and Cheeties former band Cherry Valence, knows the heat those dueling North Carolina guitars bring. They make melodic, progressive 1970s rock sound so fucking immediate. Obviously then, being progressive, BoA have some serious chops. But their songs are written so clearly, that even when piling years of rock history on all at once, the music doesnt get bogged down in thickheaded rock cliché. Honestly, its kinda shocking [...]

Where's my titanic effort that stands the test of time. Where?" -- Tom, forgetting about his glorious body of work "I'm not sure who's changed. Maybe we're [...]

"You know if you see some DJ dancing ... he's dancing? Not a DJ. He's a guy with a fast Internet connection." -- Tom, preferring the throwback stylings of sore-backed DJ Ted Shred to the laptop chowderheads "He's got that friendly, super-warm, Everyman quality. He doesn't seem like a bullying blowhard at all." -- Tom on endearing Presidential hopeful Fred Thomspon "Is that the one on the horse or in the pool?" -- Tom, asking Mark in Toronto about his country's beloved lacrosse "If you're a giant robot, [...]

Elvis Perkins Tonight at the Echo Friday's Pick: Elvis Perkins / Let's Go Sailing @ the Echo ($15) – I finally got Elvis Perkins new record. The first half is definitely intense. I've seen him open for the Pernice Brothers and My Morning Jacket this year, and he's a compelling performer. As I mentioned yesterday, Let's Go Sailing had two songs on Grey's Anatomy last night and appeared live on Morning Becomes Eclectic yesterday. Bravo. [...]
