Pavement put on a great show at the Legendary Roy Wilkins last night. They went through all of Erik Larson's favorites and even played Range Life for me. I'll take some time to find a setlist later today. Malkmus made reference to "seeing pavement for the last time" and "pavement's gone", but the rest of the band sure looked like they were enjoying themselves. Cheers to the performance, very solid.

Success!


Sunday night was a huge success. I'd like to thank T.S. for coming in with me and helping take calls, texts, setlist, dinking buddy duty, and for the starbursts. A big thank you goes out to all the listeners who called and texted in requests. I believe we even got one legitimate request on the air from someone we didn't know. It was the most exciting part of the weekend by far.

Thanks for tuning in! I had a great time playing some Amphetamine Reptile Records artists in honor of their 25th anniversary. I had a great time at the bash staying in the shade, drinking more Crispin Cider than a man should, and watching Boss Hog tear it up. The night culminated with a shirtless dude onstage mooning the crowd during the encore and then the band leaving. I like akward stage departures, lets you know it's not staged.

August has been a hot month! Too hot to blog and too hot to brew. September will be bringing cooler temperatures, back to school, and pants. It also brings 3 of my favorite bands to town: Pavement, The Flaming Lips and the Drive-By Truckers. We'll feature a set of this trio each week.
