post script

not sure how i forgot to mention this...last nite i saw damien rice at bass concert hall. i had been looking forward to this for a while. granted, i just found out he'll be at acl this year but a nice venue with a/c beats out the blistering sun in sept. anywho...the show was really good. he seems like perhaps a bitter little man -many of his songs are about heartbreak and disappointments and basically being screwed over. nevertheless, he was a great performer with a lot of variation from slow ballads on the keys to all out rockin out with the full band. my favorite song was an acoustic version of 'cannonball' that he sang without a mic...just him standing on the stage with his guitar...pretty sweet.

oh and yeah, the acl lineup is out. the big news is probably that bob dylan is a main headliner. that's pretty great...he's a classic. overall the lineup is alright...i give it a B minus at this point but over the coming months ill sift thru and listen to new artists and probably get more excited about it all.

ok thats all.
