We’re going to have a more thorough, self-congratulatory post about it this afternoon, but our birthday show this past Saturday was excellent. All the bands were incredibly accommodating, and all their sets were passionate and fun; we are grateful for their help, their willingness to play, and for their hard work. We met a lot of fantastic people, drank a lot of beer and heard a lot of great music; we hope we can do it again soon.
As for New Releases, this is a big week. There are eight albums on this list that are in my personal “must buy” category, and a lot of Jimi Hendrix re-releases. So, find yourself something this week. There are a couple of tracks after the list like always. Have yourselves an excellent week.
