Last night’s show had a bit of a quiet theme to it for a while, thanks to my nursing a headache for most of it.  There was also a set of bluegrass songs, a tribute to the late, great Earl Scruggs. Hear my delightful music selections every Friday night on Chicago’s own CHIRP Radio, from 8 […]

This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. I’ll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. The rest of the week is up in the air. I’ll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.

Let’s hope that this week is better than last, where I had a moment of complete brilliance and proceeded to forget all about the show I was supposed to go to on Saturday night. Sigh. I’ll be at Lincoln Hall on Wednesday (Fanfarlo) and Thursday (The xx), provided that I don’t forget about those shows, […]

And so it begins – the slow trickle of bands, big and small, making its way to our fair city after playing a ridiculous amount of shows in a ridiculous amount of venues in Austin. The month is only going to get busier, so hang on, it’ll be a wild ride.

[ While I’m busy debating what my own Best of 2009 list will be comprised of, enjoy this guest post. It’s a little different in the department of musical fare than you’ll usually see offered by me. -S ] So before you wonder if Sarah has gone all schizophrenic or just decided to listen to […]
