Amazing performance and recording. Apparently David’s a great writer, too. I need this album.

6500 miles can’t stop the rock. Thursday, May 8th, a reunited Brittle Stars play Common Grounds as a part of Gainesville’s Pop Mayhem festival.
Hear songs such as, but not performed as well as, these:

Falling Backwards
Someplace (but not this place)
This Trip
So Unfair

Also that night: Ifwhen, the Buddy System, Giddy-Up Helicopter, and maybe one other band. Sorry [...]

Saturday night. Josh called from Common Grounds to remind me to come to the Holopaw show. It’s a bit after 11, so I still have time to see them. When I get down there it’s some sort of free event and Neko Case is a surprise opener! She starts playing Buddy Holly’s “Baby Won’t You [...]

Sunday, Sept. 4th @ Jackrabbits Who’s with me? I admit my interest has waned a bit in the albums following The World Won’t End, but the band is great live.

The French Horns live
