Jeremy C. Baron reports:
Our favorite "I write songs faster than Dean loses percentage points" musician is back–ahem– in the fray. Guided By Voices' captain of fade, Robert Pollard, recently sustained another injury to his back, causing him to cancel a number of January tour dates. Fortunately, Pollard has been recovering, and is expected to continue rocking out crowds come March. Rescheduled dates:

03-05 Dallas, TX - Trees
03-06 Austin, TX - La Zona Rosa
03-08 Columbia, MO - Blue Note
03-09 St. Louis, MO - Mississippi Nights
03-11 Columbus, OH - Little Brother's
03-12 Louisville, KY - Headliners
03-13 Bloomington, IN - Bluebird

How did we get so lucky?

i've lived here for 18 months, and i swear they've only played once in dc. and that was as an opener. ah well, that would still be good for inferior bands.

think i missed the 930 show–that was right after i moved here, i bet i was still unemployed. live on penn was pretty rockin', but short

i'm posting this sort for the hell of it… (i need to talk to the powers that be about the search feature)

Emusic has for download the Maxwell's Urge Overkill show. Yes EMusic isn't what it use to be, it sucks having to pay more for the downloads, but I don't see this at the iTunes Store. Regardless of what the majority of people seem to critize EMusic for, if you subscribe be prepared to be overwhelmed by the vast amount of great music which can be downloaded.

EMusic has been hinting at live shows from The Dismemberment Plan, The Walkman, Holly Golightly to mention a few. Currently they have shows by Imperial Teen, The Mendoza Line, John Vanderslice, Mojo Nixon, etc.


Urge Overkill show You can hear 30 second of the set as a preview…

WOOWOO – I was at the Urge show!! oops, I was at the Bowery show. Still, very cool!

So I have to become a member of emusic? (I have a dial-up at home, which is why I've never downloaded music…)

yes to becoming a member and probably not worth it if you have dial-up at home…

for those who care, as of right now the new GBV album will be called - Half Smiles Of The Decomposed

and the songs they are already playing live from that are -

Sons Of Apollo
Closets Of Henry
Asphyxiated Circle
Huffman Prairie Flying Field
The Girls Of Wild Strawberries
The Window Of My World
