Weren't the sets taken down/destroyed a few years ago? I could be wrong, and I'm too lazy to do a search to determine if I'm wrong or right, but I thought that was in the news awhile back.

Nine Inch Nails - Add Violence

American Band is solid. I haven't heard it enough times to get into all the details, but it has some great songs (Ramon Casiano, Surrender Under Protest, and What It Means come to mind first).

Yeah, TDS is up there with Decoration Day for the DBT album I turn to both. This was chosen because I handed the iPod to my wife and told her to pick an album.

Think I came across them on some list labeling them as "shoegaze" (maybe Pitchfork?), which led me to check them out.

My Costello collection is admittedly pretty bare given his discography: MAIT, This Year's Model, Armed Forces, and Imperial Bedrooms.

I think the whole thing is good, fun "pop" (or what I turn to when I want something poppy).

Fire of Love, Miami, and The Las Vegas Story all have fantastic highway-driving songs on them.

Foreign Affairs has some underrated gems on it.

This week on the alphabetical-by-artist journey through my iPod library, where I listen to one album from each artist, generally but not always picking an album I don't listen to as often (started on Q):

Hmm, we were in the back-right of the floor (facing the stage). Cave was right in the middle of us at the end of "Push the Sky Away".

"It sounds like a really stoned Eagles record." You say that like it's a bad thing.

Detroit?

I read Before the Storm (Perlstein's book about Barry Goldwater) last year and I hope I can get to Nixonland sometime this year.

Finished:
Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right - Jane Mayer [audiobook]
The Night Manager - John Le Carre
The World to Come - Jim Shepard

I got to touch Nick Cave last month too!

Wussy, followed by Nine Inch Nails.

Yeah, part of my goal in going through this alphabetically is to try to pick out some of the under-listened (or never listened to) albums on my iPod.

I trot that Dennis Wilson album out at least once or twice every summer.
