LouFest Video Roundup: Sunday, August 29
1, Sep 2010
I mentioned yesterday in my LouFest Video Roundup post for Saturday that Broken Social Scene stole the show that day and probably the whole festival. That being said the other performance that sticks in my head as I’m typing has to be Jeff Tweedy’s solo set. The crowd was definitely bigger on Sunday as a whole and once Tweedy took the [...]
LouFest Video Roundup: Saturday, August 28
30, Aug 2010
I’m still sorting through my thoughts about the first ever LouFest. It was an incredible music experience for the city of Saint Louis and it has left me feeling like my best friend just left town. I still can’t get over the fact that I was able to hop on my bike and watch many [...]
No that’s not a typo Deer Tick is coming to Off Broadway on October 31 (Halloween!). I can’t even begin to imagine the mayhem that will go on at this show, but I for one wouldn’t miss it for anything. I’m sure the costumes will be out in full force, both on stage and in the [...]

27, Aug 2010
Tomorrow’s the big day. LouFest kicks off Saturday at noon and continues on through Sunday at Forest Park in St. Louis (gates open at 11am both days). In an effort to keep the excitement level high and get through this final day of the week I’ve put together a little video preview for each band [...]
New Music: S. Carey of Bon Iver
19, Aug 2010
It’s no secret that I love everything Justin Vernon does. Whether it’s his original project Bon Iver, his collaboration with Collections of Colonies of Bees which makes up Volcano Choir, or his mega collaboration with too many artists to name in the form of Gayngs. At the end of the day though few albums hit me [...]

New Tracks: Jimmy Eat World/Weezer
13, Aug 2010
Some people might give me crap for saying this, but I Goddamn love Jimmy Eat World’s new track “My Best Theory” from their upcoming Invented LP (out 9/28 via Interscope). I wasn’t big on 2007’s Chase This Light, which was a bit over-the-top emo even for JEW. Despite my lukewarm feelings for their last album, I [...]

It’s going to be a great opportunity for musicians who normally fly under the radar in St. Louis to play for some large crowds and show what they’ve got. [...]
