Best concert was Immaculate Machine (Calder's group) followed by Destroyer followed by NP with Dan Bejar AND Neko Case in attendance.

Paul, that's a line up I would like to have seen and heard--no way to stay seated during that concert. I saw TNP (sans Neko) play with Ra Ra Riot and Death Cab for Cutie this summer. Newman is a great song writer.

Anyone who hasn't heard New Pornographers should get Electric Version and listen to A Testament to Youth in Verse. If that doesn't do it for you, nothing well.

Very true! Another good one is The Bleeding Heart Show from Twin Cinema

How was Okkervil River?

Much better than I thought. It was the Stage Names tour; lead singer had great personality and a frail sounding voice that was perfect for the material.

Okkervil River - The Stand Ins

Lost Coastlines is a great song.

Toni,
With whom would you compare Yo La Tengo? I do not have any of their recordings in my collection, but that could change soon.

I have always enjoyed Love. Arthur Lee was way ahead of his time.

Thanks

Laura

Dear Lady Laura,

I really don't know.
Yo La Tengo is an indie band from Hoboken.
Fakebook contains mostly folk songs - covers from Cat Stevens, Gene Clark, Ray Davies, John Cale etc.
I suppose not their usual style of music.

Regards Toni

Daryle Ryce: Carolina Blue
Zensor

T-Bone Burnett: Proof Through The Night
Warner Bros. Records

Thanks Toni, I think I am going to talk to my local indie record store about bring one of their albums in. I subscribe to Paste Magazine and they had a good review of their last album.
Happy Listening,
Laura

Stephen Stills 2 in my left hand and the Allman Brothers Band Beginnings in my right hand. The picture was taken at my 60th birthday party and those two albums were a gift from a neighbor.
