I had an unexpectedly fab time seeing a Danish noise pop band called Lowly last night.

Flaming Lips show last night was a stunner. They were on & the lights are amazing. Klangstof opened & I liked them a real lot also.

The Obsessed/Karma To Burn/Lo Pan/Gozu tonight

Obituary / Gruesome / Witchtrial tonight

Gov't Mule/Chris Robinson Brotherhood at the Tower Theater in Philly 2morrow night.

Gov't Mule w/ Chris Robinson Brotherhood at the Tower Theater in Philly last night. 'Twas a huge rocker of a night. CRB opened with a solid set. Mule opened their night with "Dreams" and then "Thorazine Shuffle" which really blew everyone away. Chris sat in on the Black Crowes' "Sometimes Salvation"- another welcome surprise.

The best part of the show was the tributes to Chris Cornell. They covered "Fell on Black Days" which was so awesome and so right. Warren also paid tribute during "Lay Your Burden Down". Truly a great show. A time to rock out as well as mourn the passing of one our generation's rock legends.

Going to the ACL Taping tonight for The Head and the Heart.

Bash And Pop this Thursday at the Hi Tone in Memphis.
Hometown show for lead guitarist, Steve Selvidge.

I've been meaning to check him out. I read two friends in mutually exclusive situations in Milwaukee and Chicago were raving on the Book of Face about his opening set for Greensky Bluegrass. Neither knew about him going into the show. Both are Milwaukee and Chicago musicians respectively of who I trust their taste in music. Both claimed that he was far superior to the headlining band. There has to be something there.

Just saw Oct. 6 and 7 dates pop up for CRB at the Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, PA. On sale shortly and jumping on both nights. This venue kicks ass!

A few weeks ago in Dublin I saw The Selecter and The Beat. They are touring the UK and Ireland and alternating the headline slot each night. The Selecter were excellent. Pauline Black is a great frontperson, and has great stage presence. She's still in fine voice and it was an eight piece band. The band were very tight and had a great punch sound... excellent show. Each band is playing 90 minutes each, and the gig was about 30 euros, which for over here is great value I can tell you. Then the Beat came on. Now for me, The Beat had the edge over The Selecter, song wise. Ranking Roger has the rights to the name The Beat for UK/Ireland and Dave Wakeling has the rights to the name The English Beat for the US (he lives in California). Roger's son is now the second singer in the band and he's called Ranking Junior! The Beat were also great, not quite as much punch as the Selector (its a smaller band), but still great. The Beat released a strong new album last October and the track Side To Side in particular stand's well with their original song's. A great night, and they've just announced a new tour for next March, and will be back in Dublin in March... and I'll be there!

I didn't know this, explains a lot.

Anyway coming up this month:

KRAFTWERK
Krishna Das
Old Crow Medicine Show
The Jacksons

Plus probably and Otis Gibbs show and a Cale Tyson show.

Midnight Oil were amazing on Wednesday. The band has come roaring back & sound at least as good as back in the day. My ears are still ringing 2 days later. I hope they take this momentum & put out some new stuff. They did 24 songs over 2 hours including a big chunk of Diesel & Dust. There was a short acoustic set in the middle that rocked harder than most bands with a stage full of Marshall stacks. The set ender "Sometimes" is still 1 of my favorite songs of all time. It just smoked. There's some good videos up on youtube if you're interested. If you get a chance to see them, do it! Here's the setlist:
