I will add the Rosie Thomas, James Mercer, Iron and Wine (all on Subpop) show at Iota to the best shows list. They are listed in my order of preference.

Does that mean you will be changing your board name?

"Sub Pop" would be a more manly moniker than "Jadetree"

yeah, went to the show. really enjoyed it, as they played a good deal off of "know by heart." i don't know, the new one doesn't sound like they are really in it anymore. maybe it was because i was listening to it at work, but nothing in the album really excited me or kept me wanting to listen to it. their previous albums always had some interesting vocal melody or chord progressions, but this one just seemed like uninteresting background music. i blame it on andrew kenny for going to graduate school in nyc.

I have only just started listening to American Analog Set but I really like the second track on the new album, probably because I really liked it at the show.

Henry Rollins is a corporate whore and a disgrace to the punk rock community.

Are you really? Did you enjoy her other albums? Just trying to get a baseline here…. I have only heard the 30 second snippets of each song on the album from the website, and on first listen it was not inspiring.

Or are you pulling our legs?!?
