NYLON Summer Music Tour Roundup
The second-ever NYLON Summer Music Tour stopped at Washington’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Hotel on the evening of June 24. The Hotel – incidentally not a real working hotel – is a teensy weensy club in Northeast that usually hosts under-the-radar acts. All four acts on this bill – Jaguar Love, Plastiscines, Living Things, [...]
Movement 2009, part 1
More than 80,000 people. That’s how many showed up for Movement 2009 in Detroit, which must make the festival the biggest one of it’s kind in the United States, if not North America (how many people make it out to Mutek? Not sure). The pre-event buzz on my favorite dance site Resident Advisor was [...]
Michael Jackson: A Memorial
There is no name more recognized the world over than Michael Jackson. Just over two months before his 51st birthday, the King of Pop was rushed to the hospital for cardiac arrest and pronounced dead yesterday, June 25, 2009. His career began four decades ago with The Jackson 5 and blossomed into a rich and [...]
Dave Matthews Band @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, Maryland Heights, MO
After a rather breezy opening set by The Hold Steady, I was rather surprised by how soon Dave Matthews Band was scheduled to follow the opener with a gap of maybe 20 minutes which is something I appreciated. Noticing about five more additional photographers join the pit for DMB (now making 8), I knew [...]
Bonnaroo Update Day 1: Thursday, June 11
Bonnaroo Day 1: Thursday, June 11… Bonnaroo, or the Roo as some like to call it (although Colin Meloy will tell you that anytime anybody calls it that, a kitten dies), is unreal if you have never been to a camping music festival. The festival is just as much about what happens off the stage as [...]
Conor Oberst & the Mystic Valley Band @ Beaumont Club, Kansas City MO
03 July 2009
To many in the music scene, Conor Oberst is a hero. Love him or hate him, the guy does have a way with words. And despite the frequent comparisons to Bob Dylan, Oberst is versatile and more than a rehash of Dylan. I guess you could say that with projects that have ranged from Desaparecidos [...]

MeWithoutYou @ the Granada, Lawrence KS
03 July 2009
It’s all crazy! It’s all a dream! It’s alright and it’s all in a concert that made yet another amazing night in Lawrence, Ks. If you couldn’t figure out from that terrible attempt at a pun in my lede, the concert was MeWithoutYou’s tour with the Dear Hunter and Kay Kay and the Weathered Underground. Seattle’s [...]

Nightmare of You @ the Bottleneck, Lawrence KS
02 July 2009
If you have missed the Nightmare of You tour in your city, start kicking yourself now. You may have just missed the best show of the summer. Brian Bonz (minus the Dot Hongs) kicked off with his angelic, but devilishly powerful voice accompanied by acoustic guitar. He accented his chord progressions by alternating taps and slaps [...]

Yellowcard Off Hiatus
01 July 2009
It would appear that Yellowcard is no longer on hiatus: The Florida rockers went on a self-described “hiatus” in April 2008. Since then, members have taken time to work on their personal lives and side projects such as Big If. There is currently no word on set tour dates or any plans to release new music. Yellowcard: website [...]
