Welcome back to another work week. As usual, we’ll kick it off with links to some interesting shit from around the information superhighway:
- Arcade Fire played great versions of Intervention and Keep The Car Running on SNL this weekend. Hey, I seem to remember another band employing the whole destroy your guitar thing
- It looks like Trey Anastasio will cop a plea tomorrow
- Tortoise will be touring this summer
- Dinosaur Jr. will release its first album with the original lineup since 1988
- Led Zeppelin and Van Halen have sued a Vail nightclub for allowing bands to play their songs (umm, why this particular club?)
- IGN looks at the Top 25 prog rock albums
- Brian Bavosa reviews a recent Disco Biscuits concert
- Jefitoblog provides the final installment of the terrific KSCA: Live From The Music Hall compilation
- Angela Christofides lists the best Gov’t Mule shows of the past year
Did you see any interesting rock and/or roll shows this weekend? Anyone see Ace bobbin’ his head at Lakeside Lounge? Leave a comment below…

Wow, Genesis gets the number one album of all-time? Questionable, although I’m not sure who I’d put up there. What’s your #1 prog rock album of all-time?
By the way, I’m in total shock over that Zep/Van Halen story…I hope it’s just a joke gone awry. Or maybe the club’s owner sodomized some of their girlfriends and wives back in the day. Best I can come up with.

I would have put Demons and Wizards on the list and probably bumped up Tull. But then again I have never heard of 3/4 of those albums.

Putting Lamb Lies Down @ #1 is the only thing about that list I agree with, that’s a desert island for me and the quintessential “prog” album in my mind.
Although not knowing 75% of the titles made me feel not quite as geeky as I thought I was, so I appreciated that (of course, ignoring the fact that I am literally typing this with a lab coat on right now)

Yeah, geeky works as a decriptive adjective for you. Embrace it.
By the way, that labcoat line, which I know to be true, just made me literally laugh out loud. Good work.

I love the new Arcade Fire stuff… they never really clicked with me before. Does anyone agree that “Keep the Car Running” sounds an awful lot like Eddie & the Cruisers’ “On the Dark Side?”
Also, heard some new Dino Jr. tracks already and it sounds just like Dino Jr. of old… in a good way!
