The Week That Was: Teach Us a New Word

I know this sounds weird, but I just got home from a 27-hour stint at summer camp. And yet I still caught a great show this weekend: Former campers from the Northeast and Florida may recognize the name Ron Dagan, the schmaltzy local legend who has made a three-decade living on Cats In The Cradle.

Dagan and his band (his two sons and a son’s friend) played some TV theme songs, three originals and a splash of Linkin Park before ending the set with a kickass Immigrant Song > Twist and Shout. Camp! Geeks! Awesome!

But that was the weekend that was — let’s look back at the week that was:

• Al Gore saved the planet with Madonna’s guitar pyrotechnics
• Tons of phatty grilled cheese probably sold at huge drum circle
• Dr. Dog streams unreleased material on their new website
• And stream exclusive tracks from A Big Yes and a small no
• RatDog & Keller Williams gonna make you sweat
• Watch some underrated McCartney gems on The B List
• Go Grousing The Aisles for the latest show downloads
• And make sure to check out the Pullin’ ‘Tubes video archives

I’m beat. I think it’s about time to hit the ol’ dusty trail…
