When I’m listening to a station, and rate it, do those rating affect the station if other people listen to it?

And this post successfully concludes what I was testing, no more junk posts for a little while :)

And I can now edit from my secret project!

They’re playing at the McDonald Theatre and the show is going to rock. Anyone want to come with me?

For a little preview of the Arctic Monkeys, check out their music video on my Facebook profile.

I popped the disc and and sure enough I was able to download the song. So simple.

And on another music related note, Cam wrote me today saying that he had found Ryan Adams’ new album online. The mp3s are on the Lost Highway website. As it turns out, it was only a few songs from Easy Tiger, but the gem below was included. I’m not exactly sure what a “halloween head” is, but Ryan makes a pretty good song out of it:

Eric posted Nick Drake’s cover of Jackson Frank’s Blues Run The Game the other day and it reminded me of one of my favorite Adam Duritz (of Counting Crows) covers. This version was recorded in 2002 at the Shim Sham Club.

Rachel let me splurge and get the Special Deluxe Edition on one condition, that she didn’t have to see or hear the DVD. The previous Wilco DVDs have been great – I’ve probably watched I Am Trying To Break Your Heart at least ten times – and based on the first 15 minutes of this one, it’s going to be good too.

This record will probably be in constant rotation until Ryan Adams’ new disc comes out. I just read that the May 2007 Rolling Stone said:

We Love “Easy Tiger” Ryan’s stunning new record. Nothing has rivaled his classic debut, 2000′s uniformly gorgeous Heartbreaker…until now.

It’s a toss-up between Gold and Heartbreaker, but I love the early Ryan Adams stuff. I can’t wait until June 26th!

Rachel and I went to see them (and Counting Crows) in Chicago a few years ago at the University of Chicago. I wasn’t too familiar with their music at the time, but in the years since they have become one of my favorites. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it to this show and I don’t quite think McDonald Theatere suits them, but I’m sure they’ll put on a good performance.

If you miss them on Monday or just want to hear them again, they’ll be in Portland on Saturday. I will coincidentally be in Portland dropping Rachel off at the airport. I might just have to hang around for the show :)

I’ve been wanting to try out Yahoo! Pipes for a while, but never quite knew what to do. In honor of Wilco’s new album being released on Tuesday I decided to create a pipe of their upcoming shows. I don’t quite know how to put the map on my site, so until I figure that out, you’ll have to check it out on the pipes page.

Give it a listen!

And if, like me, you haven’t visited my page in a few months, this will be a nice treat.
