Black Cab Sessions with Spoon

This is just a great concept, people with acoustic guitars jamming out in the back of a London cab. It takes a real musician to be able to perform anywhere at any given moment, and this is a great example of that. This edition has Spoon's Britt Daniel performing "I Summon You" from 2005's Gimme Fiction.

For more cabbie rockin' goodness check out Black Cab Sessions. There you can find performances by the National, Okkervil River and the New Pornographers.

Some People Are Just Born Rock Stars

when it comes to rocking, this kid is already way ahead of most. this kid is well on already on his/her way, covering the Beatles, the greatest band ever.

prepare for one of the greatest covers of "Hey Jude" ever.

You've Seen Guitar Solos, Drum Solos, But Have You Ever Seen A Triangle Solo?

a new rock first. the show-stopping triangle solo. and what band would have the gall to do this? If you guessed the Foo Fighters, then you are correct. (but really who would have guessed the Foo Fighters? not me.)

Gotta love Dave Grohl for allowing this happen, we were all in need of a good rocking triangle solo. The cowbell has been getting all attention lately, and now it is time for the mighty triangle to get a moment in the limelight.

Radiohead Show

so, i hit refresh on the ticketmaster site selling tickets to the upcoming Radiohead show, only to get hit with an annoying - but expected - load screen.

It took some doing, but I was able to snag 4 tickets in the second section. probably not the greatest spot, but hey, at least i won't be stuck out on the lawn - or paying some random person on ebay a ridiculous chunk of change for them.

$70 for a ticket is probably more than i would be willing to spend on a normal concert, but this is Radiohead and that makes it worth it.

the show is a what was formerly called the Smirnoff Center and is now the Superpages.com Center in Dallas. As of this posting the tickets are sold out. To those out there who were also able to snag a ticket - kudos.

May 18th seems so far off...

YEAH, FIRST POST!!!

this concludes the first post.
