Ages 18+ Tickets $16 adv/ $18 day of. With Dead Confederate

Having recently signed with Jagjaguwar, Dinosaur Jr plans to release a new album this summer. The band will be setting out in April to road test new material in cozier settings than you might expect. Check out the Tour Page for details. For the fortunate fans who score tickets to these select shows, they will also receive a limited edition, tour-only 7″ or a digital download code with the purchase of a ticket. The songs on this release were recorded live during a Pitchfork.tv feature at J Mascis’ Bisquiteen Studios. The A-Side is a new track entitled “I Don’t Want To Go There” and is slated to appear on the forthcoming full length, while the B-Side is a revisited classic “Tarpit” from You’re Living All Over Me.

It’s not christmas without…. the River Bottom Nightmare Band!

We take what we want
We do anything that we wish
We got no respect
For animal birdy or fish

The grass does not grow
On the places where we stop and stand
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We know we’re a mess
But I does not like to be clean
We don’t brush our teeth
‘Cause our toothache can help us stay mean

We don’t wish to learn
But we hate what we don’t understand
River Bottom

When you see us comin’
You better startin’ runnin’
We’re always startin’ trouble
And we’re happiest when things are outta hand

Rivers are for boilin’
Parties are for spoilin’
We either like to sit and pout
Or else go out and terrorize our land
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We laugh in your face
Or we practice our growl and our sneer
We break up your place
We are dangerous when we are near

And when we are done with our song
Who will get the biggest hand?
Who?
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
River Bottom Nightmare Band!

Yeah, you’ll be laughing at this at first, but it’s a REALLY good album.

“Meet Glen Campbell“, the latest (and 59th) release from Glen Campbell is pretty bad-ass.

The first track that I heard was a cover of the Foo Fighters’ “Times LIke These”, but the album also contains covers of songs by Lou Reed, Paul Westerberg, U2, Green Day, Tom Petty, John Lennon, and Jackson Browne.

Backing musicians include Jason Falkner & Roger Manning, Jr (from Jellyfish), members of Cheap Trick, and some phenomenal studio musicians (who’s played with Prince, Danzig, and other groups).

Track listing:

Side 1:

1. “Sing” (Francis Healy) – 3:45
2. “Walls” (Tom Petty) – 3:31
3. “Angel Dream” (Tom Petty) – 2:29
4. “Times Like These” (Dave Grohl/Taylor Hawkins/Nate Mendel/Chris Shiflett) – 3:28
5. “These Days” (Jackson Browne) – 3:29

Side 2:

1. “Sadly Beautiful” (Paul Westerberg) – 3:20
2. “All I Want Is You” (Adam Clayton/David Evans/Paul Hewson/Larry Mullen, Jr.) – 4:15
3. “Jesus” (Lou Reed) – 3:10
4. “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” (Billy Joe Armstrong/Frank Wright/Mike Pritchard) – 2:35
5. “Grow Old with Me” (John Lennon) – 3:40

So what’s up with the Three 6 Mafia playing at the Fayetteville Town Center on Sept 19th ?

I haven’t seen Ani DiFranco live in nearly 10 years, but it looks like I’ll have my chance locally in September when she plays at the mall the AMP.

Lawrence, Kansas, October 1998

While driving in to work this morning, I couldn’t help notice that a Neutral Milk Hotel song was used as some incidental music on NPR.
