I’m sorry for the lack of posts today, but I’ve been getting crushed lately at my real job. Hopefully we’ll return to a normal posting schedule next week. For now here’s a rundown of what you need to know this afternoon:
- The creators of the Yacht Rock viral videos that pay homage to the likes of Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald are taking the show on the road. Series’ co-creators JD Ryznar and Hunter Stair will screen the episodes at selected dates before a live audience in New York, Minneapolis, Detroit and Muskegon, Michigan. Or you can just watch them on YouTube.
- The Raconteurs blew the roof off a sold-out 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. last night. Thankfully you can stream the show for yourself over at NPR Music. Jack White and the boys return to the 9:30 tonight to do it all over again.
- Sam Roberts Band, a group that Some Dude featured in his Better Than Noodling column, topped the Canadian charts this week with their newly released album. Love at the End of the World sold 9,000 copies beating out the likes of Madonna, Three Doors Down and Death Cab For Cutie. 9,000 albums, aye? God bless our neighbors to the north.
