Another great evening at the Pabst Theater last night. Going into the performance I had some reservations that it couldn’t possibly match the Drive-By Truckers last stop at the same venue, but by the time all the empty PBR cans were accounted for I have no problem stating this show topped the previous.
In truth, [...]

From The Crowd | Bon Iver – “Skinny Love”

Video: What Made Milwaukee Famous – “Sultan”
I just started spinning What Doesn’t Kill Us, the new record from What Made Milwaukee Famous due March 4th on Barsuk Records. Though the best introduction to album, at least for me, came yesterday with the release of the video for the song “Sultan.” Want to hear more? Grab the first [...]
We Like: Jim White – Transnormal Skipperoo
The first and only time I’ve ever seen Jim White in concert was over two years ago at the Orpheum Stage Door. Per usual, he mixed captivating storytelling and humor amongst his set list. It remains, unequivocally, one of my favorite performances in that venue, and fairs pretty well amongst all the concerts [...]

Digital Music Sales :: Amie Street
Last night I paged through the latest issue of Wired Magazine immersing myself specifically in the article: Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business. That business model obviously worked for bands of Radiohead’s stature in the music industry and has been a long-held business model in the electronics/gadgets market as well, “Give away [...]

Wilco To Play Saturday Night Live
I haven’t watched Saturday Night Live in years, but the allure/importance of bands playing it still seems to be alive and well. After seeing Wilco during their five night run, spanning their entire catalog, I can wholeheartedly say that their performance is a long time coming.
Here’s to hoping they extend their play what you [...]
5 Questions with Shipwreck
I definitely have my friends in Common Loon to thank for turning me onto Shipwreck’s brilliant record Rabbit In The Kitchen With A New Dress On.

Video: Evangelicals – “Midnight Vignette”
One of the shows I’m most looking forward to is the double bill of Headlights and Evangelicals at the High Noon Saloon on Wednesday, April 2nd.

Photos: Girl Talk | University of Wisconsin – Great Hall
The University of Wisconsin student union set a record of topless men in the building last night, including performer and reason behind the undressing, Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk. Nothing out of the ordinary from your typical Girl Talk performance: people jumped on stage surrounding Gregg as he kept the crowd in a continuous [...]
