This Week in Great Music: 10/11 - 10/17
This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. Â And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. Â I'll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. Â The rest of the week is up in the air. Â I'll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.
