While I thoroughly enjoyed the New Pornographers this last weekend, I had a much more enjoyable time at the LCD Soundsystem/Arcade Fire show at Red Rocks. Red Rocks is always a good venue, but this one was really special.LCD started the show.I've always enjoyed them and have their most recent album, but they are so much better live. They have a raw, energetic power that just doesn't translate...

I saw the NP's on Monday and I have to say that it was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. I knew Neko was scheduled to be there, but was surprised when Dan Bejar was there as well. I've read many times that he rarely plays with them.

An acquaintance of mine gave me this CD a few months ago. I told her I liked pop and especially power pop. She told me I might like this band. The disc gathered dust for a while and I have only begin to listen to it lately. It definitely has pop elements, and since I am a sucker for pop I have taken to it.Frankly I have not much intro to give you besides this track and their url- http://mys...

I just love this song. It is so punk and almost makes me want to listen to bluegrass all the time. The operative word being almost.
