Also, I finally had a chance to listen to the new soundtrack written by Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild. Here’s a slice of my favorite track from the soundtrack thus far:

Why Vinyl Holds Its Appeal For Me

On Saturday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Explosions in the Sky. I also purchased their newest album, All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone and was pleased to find that the last side of the album looks like this:

Its the extra effort like this, combined with the much larger artwork that helps vinyl to hold its appeal over CDs, at least for me.

Listen to “Welcome, Ghosts” from this album:

The Dismemberment Plan Reunites!

One of my favorite bands, The Dismemberment Plan announced today that they will be playing a reunion gig at the Black Cat here in Washington, DC. The show will be a benefit for friends of theirs, whose child has been diagnosed with Type 1 SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy).

It’ll be a great show and I hope that I’ll be able to get tickets.

If You’re Free Tomorrow Night

If you aren’t busy at 9:00 pm Eastern tomorrow night, you should think about visiting Wilco World dot net and listening to the webcast. I’ll be joining my friend Ken in Charlottesville, Virginia to assist him in producing the webcast.

Update: setlist below.

Weekend Project

I got the bright idea awhile ago to create a collage of concert tickets and photos of some of my favorite shows. You may recognize the top photo from a previous post about My Morning Jacket. The photo on the left is Sigur Ros at the Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland. The photo on the right is Wilco at the 9:30 Club. And lastly, the photo at the bottom is me with one of my favorite artists, Ted Leo, after the Wilco show.

Travis and I were fortunate enough to join our friend Ken at the Wilco show October 19, 2006 and assist him with webcasting the show from Wilcoworld.net. The setlist on the left is from that show.

Here’s the finished project:

Concerts in 2007

It’s always fun to see what the year’s concert layout will be like, and I’ve been able to update my tours table. Head over to the 2007 Shows page to see what the lay of ‘07 looks like.

I’m really looking forward to seeing Wilco’s lead singer, Jeff Tweedy, solo in Charlottesville at the end of January. It will assuredly be a knockout performance. Explosions in the Sky are another act I’ve been longing to see for quite some time, but have never been able to catch them; I’ll finally have that chance in March.
