Metro just announced that the Lawrence Arms are playing a show there on January 7, 2012. I am super excited for this one. It’s been far too long since I’ve seen them:
You can download a new song (“Dreamers”) from Savoir Adore over at Spinner.
I just got my Craig Finn tickets in the mail so that gives me an excuse to post one of his solo videos:
Last night I saw Hot Rod Circuit at Bottom Lounge. It was a relatively small show but I had a good time. I’m glad I finally got to see them live. I’ve had this song in my head all day:

There’s a new Tegan and Sara live album entitled Get Along and it’s streaming over at Rolling Stone.
Last night was We Were Promised Jetpacks at Metro. They were great as always. They had a ton of energy and the sound was amazing. I’m not sure whether it sold out but there were ton of people there. I’m glad to see that more people are getting into them. The guys handled the transition to Metro with no hangups. They started the set with “Circles and Squares.” They played about an even amount of songs from both albums. They didn’t do an encore and they ended the night with “It’s Thunder and It’s Lightning.” It was a good show and I had a blast.
