A little bit of a slow week for music that catches my eye (and/or ear). There are plenty of shows going on, but these are the ones I'd recommend.

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.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only person on the internet who doesn't care about Pavement.

This Week in Great Music: 5/10 - 5/16

March is getting off to a bit of a slow start. I think the month of March knows that I will be spending most of April skulking about in various venues for an absurd number of shows. March is telling me that I need to get my sleep, I think.
