]. I'm so looking forward to their concert tonight. The first concert of theirs I went to was a post-ACL concert they did with Guster about 4-5 years ago. My pal G and I went mainly for Guster, but they were such a let-down compared to Gomez' amazing live show. So when Gomez played an off-tour concert here a couple years back, we went to that one. And they are playing tonight at Stubb's! They may be one of the few bands whose outside show I will pay to see.
At home tonight, I happened upon a show about Alison Krauss that was basically an interview with her from the early aughts interspersed with videos from her various albums. So I saw "Let Me Touch You For a While" and then the video for "New Favorite", and I think they both feature the same guy. Am I right?
What I'm listening to right now. . . I love Stars and haven't been able to catch them live yet. They will be in Austin next week, but I'm going to pass on the show. For one, it's on a Tuesday night (ugh), and two, I think Torquil Campbell (one of the lead singers) tends to flat in live performances. At least, he does in the live recordings I've heard. There are some bands I love and I don't feel the absolute need to see them live -- Stars is one of them.
Now the New Pornographers will be in town next weekend, and I am DEFINITELY going to see them.
