We saw the sun rising over this exact spot on the Atlantic last night/this morning, weary souls reviewing 10 straight hours of straight-up rock. We caught six bands yesterday at the School of Rock Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey, just part of a day that began for me with the Benevento/Russo Duo and culminated in a Ween > Bustle In Your Hedgerow doubleheader. Gorgeous. But that review’s to come tomorrow — let’s instead look back at a sample of the week that was…
- The Austin City Limits schedule pits Wilco against My Morning Jacket and The White Stripes against Arcade Fire
- The White Stripes play small ball in NYC — one commenter compares them to the Presidents of the United States. Lumpy.
- Hippie nostalgia rules: SPAC Piper and Letterman Marquee Time
- The Bonnaroo SuperJam goes Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn
- We listed eight cover bands that don’t suck
- Steve Perry may currently be blowing David Chase
- Never too early to announce NYE gigs, eh moe.?
Asbury Park, the vacation spot of a lifetime. Mark that down, make a note.
