Does anyone have the setlist from the Shins show in St. Louis on 2/11 at the Pageant? I really enjoyed the show. Amazing energy! Even the guy doing the lights was rocking out. Viva Voce ripped it up too.

Fair Use?

I've liberated my Music collection and it feels pretty damn good! I've broken the DRM on all of my purchased iTunes songs. It took me a while because it was a few thousand songs, but it is worth it to me. I buy lots of music and I go to a fair number of shows. I also like to share my music with freinds to let them know what I'm excited about. iTunes makes that difficult. Is this stealing? According to Apple's Terms of Service, yes. In my opinion, no. I think I should be allowed to share some songs with friends. I should be allowed to stream my music through other devices. I realize there are folks out there who have never payed for a song. I don't think that's cool. The Record Companies and the RIAA could spend a bit more time and energy developing a better product instead of going after a few scofflaws. ''Bye-bye Protected AAC files. Hello MP3s!'

Great Wilco Show

I took my wife to see Wilco at the Auditorium in Chicago on Friday. I managed to get excellent seats from the fan pre-sale and being up close for songs like 'Airline to Heaven', 'Sunken Treasure' and 'Via Chicago' was amazing. Our seat position also gave me a greater appreciation of Nels Cline's guitar work.

The local band Detholz opened for Wilco and I really enjoyed their set too. Quirky lyrics, and great energy influenced by Devo and Oingo Boingo. I didn't have any of their music before the show, I've been listening to their most recent album and I like it.
