Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil With Ryan Adams

There is a certain amount of risk involved with going to a Ryan Adams concert. His recent show in Kansas City (NSFW) is a very good example of what can happen when it goes wrong. I have been witness to a solo show where he sat on stage and smoked cigarettes the entire night.

Then again you could very well witness one of the best shows of your life. At the Orpheum in Boston was one of those nights.

Dancing in the Dark

The basic premise behind War Child Presents is that a older artist picks a younger artist to cover one of their songs. My favorite group covering my favorite Springsteen song. Swching!

Hello Again

Holy hell have the last few weeks of work sucked. Anyways I am sure all two of you who read this blog have missed me. Well I hope everyone is ready for SXSW in a few weeks. I plan to run through a few of the shows I am looking forward to as it gets closer. For now enjoy some quality Canadian rock-
