It was a cold and rainy day but didn't stop people for Record Store Day 2012. Surprised by the turnout when I got to Vertigo Records at 8:30am. There was already people in line, I was around the 20th person. Last year I was one of five people who got there at around that time. I guess the buzz and hype surrounding Record Store Day is a good thing for the indie record shops. I totally zoom by this year's event. Here is a list of what I bought. [...]

As if it wasn't weird enough that members of The National collaborated on a concert with The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, they went and covered the recent Cass McCombs track "Love Thine Enemy" early in the set.

A voice that's so unaffected it can't help but affect you. And steel guitar. Let it carry you through the weekend. Cass McCombs - You Saved My Life

Claudio Salas presenta la segunda parte de su Informe desde Inglaterra, con sus comentarios sobre el show que Cass McCombs ofreció en Leeds el domingo pasado. Desde las Catacombs Antes de que Cass McCombs apareciera en escena, el pequeño pero fiel público que llegó al Brudenell Social Club de Leeds, un pequeño pub en pleno barrio de inmigrantes, estaba sentado en el suelo frente al lugar que sirvió de escenario, una especie de salón de eventos alfombrado. Esa fue la primera señal de que íbamos a presenciar un concierto íntimo y recatado, en la [...]
