I can’t say I’ve ever been a big fan of the self-aggrandizing weekly recap most bloggers enjoy, but considering we’ve published 70 posts on this here rag in less than a month of full-scale operations, there’s bound to be some shit that’s slipped through your cracks. Hmm, maybe there’s a better way to say that…
Regardless, here’s just a sample of The Week That Was:
- Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro opens up to Hidden Track about the Colorado ’88 release, under-the-radar shows and more…

- Marco Benevento brings a whole lot more than 88 keys to his solo show at Tonic; also, Scott Metzger wears a maroon corduroy jacket
- The website for The Band’s tribute disc invites you to go streaming
- Michael McDonald bares his blue-eyed soul for charity
- Langerado confirms its festival lineup, and wannabe hipsters cry like emo kids that Cat Power and TV on the Radio ain’t on the bill
- ScottyB goes Grousing the Aisles for the ingredients and serves up some link-heavy plates of Hors d’Oeuvres and Leftovers
- The Dead Schembechlers aren’t as punk as you think
- Pullin’ ‘Tubes compiles a roster of sweet-ass-sweet videos
- Want a free Nirvana DVD? We’re trying to give one away…
