Live At Tonic, 8pm (2005)One Man Pop, Live On StageMulti-instrumentalist Jon Brion's one album with The Grays earned him his well deserved cred as a quality popster, while his high profile film scoring (Punch Drunk Love, Magnolia) and production work (Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple) has paid the bills. But, it's Brion's sprawling live pop marathons at Largo (nearly) every week in Los Angeles that have...

As my legions of devoted readers will have noticed by now, I've abandoned my project of writing a tribute to each of my favorite rock bands. I may produce a few more, but I think doing a top 10 is sufficient. It was getting a little limiting, frankly. I'm afraid you'll have to sort out the rest for yourselves.Be of good cheer, however!

Here's one of my favorites from Jon Brion's only (pure) solo release. He's issued multiple songs on soundtracks, was a member of the unfortunately short-lived powerpop group The Grays, and is a famous producer for the likes of Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple and too many others to mention. I once saw Nickel Creek perform this song live in concert and they did a great job of it. Too bad they never put i...
