Back on the saddle again… So I finally got back to Denver this morning. Things are a little hectic ’round these parts. I got to my office and had over 59 items past due on Outlook, urghh….. I spent my off day in Austin yesterday catching up on some items that I was not able…

Tom Petty The festivities ended with Mr. Petty. I missed Muse to make my way to the kind of the front of the stage. It was hard, but I did hold my ground. It was too bad that he was only able to play for 30 mins. And then the rain started. The deluge of…
The Flaming Lips Easily, one of the better performances of the festival. Their stage looked like Halloween/Christmas all mixed into one. All the expected shanigans went on as expected. The stage antics were very well accepted, despite the level of predictability. Wayne Coyne has quite the stage persona, and I can chalk up my first…
Austin City Limits Day 3 My ability to keep up with the festival as time progressed was dismal. I was very tired by Sunday morning and I think it’s because I’m getting older. I got a late start and ate some Chinese for lunch catching up with friends. Due to the late start, I don’t…
Brazilian Girls The show was in this tent that made the temperature immediately rise by 15 degrees. The heat was intensified by a grip of people trying to cram into this tent. I was clumped in the middle and the group’s lead singer came out as if she was a walking/talking mannequin. She freaked me…
The Shins This is how close I was going to get to the group. I don’t have a photo badge to get upfront. So any decent pictures were a direct result of me hustling to the front of the show and trying to time everything appropriately. My camera is mediocore at best and I plan…
The Secret Machines They started the set with my favorite song of theirs that I seriously don’t know the name to this song. It has a line that goes, “idle kids with idle hearts…” The song was great and very heavy on the spacey. For an hour set, they only played 6 songs, roughly. Each…
Ben Kweller Poor kid suffers from allergies as much as me. I had left before I could see Massive Attack because my nose was killing me. Ben Kweller played 5 songs before he took himself off stage. His nose was bleeding despite the aid of a kotex. He would have played till his fingers bled…
Phoenix When you listen to Phoenix, you think of the Paris music scene and how tight they all appear to be. They dress well on stage, and I think the lead singer knocked up Sofia Coppola. They are going to appear on her latest movie , “Marie Antoinette.” Their live shows are very vibrant and…
Murder by Death These kids have this alt-goth music scene down pretty well. What made them seem even better is that they know they aren’t going to change your life. They only sing about the devil and whiskey and they don’t attempt to hide their agenda.
