It's been almost three weeks since I got back from The Bridge School Benefit shows and if I postpone this post any longer, it may end up like my never posted Calgary Folk Fest '07 Part II (sigh). Quickly, Ben Folds with the Seattle Symphony was awesome as expected (from the 2nd row!), but The Very Best show in San Francisco was unceremoniously cancelled on the day of the show since Esau Mwamwaya had passport issues getting into the US... very disappointing. After the stage was blessed by native [...]

As previously alluded , I made the sojourn to Crescent City yet again last weekend. Neil's set was the standout highlight in a weekend full of highlights. For two hours the rain waited patiently overhead for Neil to play his set, finish, come out for an encore, and leave. Said encore - "A Day In The Life" - culminated with Neil agitating the Les, tearing his guitar strings off, dragging it around the stage for good measure and generally causing sonic trouble all 'round. He then walked over to the xylophone, took the mallets, ended the song with a [...]

So poison the tips of your heart-shaped arrows, crack open that congealing chocolate, and enjoy CoS's top ten love songs. [...]
photos by Paul Searing hugs @ MSG in NYC - Dec 16, 2008 [Wilco] were no match for Mr. Young and crew: Mr. Keith, the bassist Rick Rosas, the keyboardist-guitarist Anthony Crawford and especially the drummer Chad Cromwell, whose time feel suggested the perfect blend of slouch and surge. Mr. Crawford sang background vocals with Pegi Young, Mr. Young's wife, sounding strong on standards like "Cinnamon Girl" and fine on chugging new fare like "When Worlds Collide."
