Mix Tape Monday: The National Black Session 2005

Mix Tape Monday: The National Black Session 2005
Well, I wasn't really sure what to post today, so I decided to post a little snippet from one of the best live show recordings I have heard in a long time. It is a little bit old, coming from April of 2005, but seriously the last live show recording I was really this obsessed with was Bloc Party's Black Session from the same year. This is The National around the time that "Alligator" came out, so it includes songs from that album as well as the "Cherry Tree EP". I dunno what it is about this ...

The National - A Skin, A Night / Virginia EP

The National - A Skin, A Night / Virginia EP
Utter disappointment is the only way to describe this documentary/EP combo. Over the past year The National have endeared themselves as one of my favorite bands, and this set missed the mark for me.

Belated Lollapalooza Lineup Post

Belated Lollapalooza Lineup Post
Well I was anticipating making an ACL post today, but the lineup didn't really get me excited (see my earlier post) so I have decided to go back and make the post I was going to make last week. Lolla is really in a class of its own as far as festivals go this summer, and I'm quite excited (and I have tix) for this year. Last year was a lot of fun but unfortunately I missed quite a few bands I really wanted to see because of various circumstances, but hopefully this year I will be able ...

BVaz Reports: September Concert Breakdown

BVaz Reports: September Concert Breakdown
Well September has been quite a month for seeing shows. Of course we saw the end of the festival season with ACL a couple of weeks ago, as well as Snoop Dogg and the Shins at the Download Festival, but these were not the only things going on this month. There were some great Chicago shows in September outside of the big events and here is a wrap up of the best and the worst from September, as well as a look ahead at October. VHS or Beta - Subterranean I hadn't really heard too much of VHS or Beta ...

BVaz Reports: Austin City Limits, Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007

BVaz Reports: Austin City Limits, Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007
After two days of rocking, we picked ourselves up to bring ourselves back to Zilker Park for even more. JHall's friend Caroline was in tow for day 3, so us 3 musketeers called back the cabbie of the weekend to bring us back down to the place of rock. We actually had an extra wristband left over for Sunday, and in a brilliant move, we traded it to the cabbie for cab fare. There was no rocky top game to get in our way today, today was wall to wall rock. Upon arrival, long time indie-rockers ...
