On March 14 at the 9:30 Club, I covered my very first concert for WGTB. I was fortunate enough to get to review one of my favorite artists, Ben Kweller , alongside a possibly more famous co-headliner, Pete Yorn . The two share a grungy acoustic-semi-alternative kind of sound that I find infectious, but that made my dear father giggle with mirth when I played it for him: "I love the voice cracks!" Before the concert began, I was lucky enough to sit down to talk with Mr. Pete Yorn. When I asked about themes that [...]

Two-disc set commemorates Yorn's first studio album and shows what it plainly is: A collection of beautiful songs, nearly each one a small victory. As far as movie soundtracks go, you could do worse than the one for the Farrelly brothers' Me, Myself, and Irene. Songs from late '90s staples of FM rock, from Third Eye Blind to the Offspring and Foo Fighters, make the collection a true alternative rock turn-of-the-century time capsule. But buried at the end, between tracks by the likes of Marvelous 3 and Billy Goodrum, was the soundtrack's best moment: "Strange Condition", the first ever...
