11:57am Barb out
So, that's a wrap for my first attempt at live on air blogging. Not as distracting as I thought it would be. Quite fun, actually. I'll try it again tomorrow.
FYI... there are no first run "Tunes On The Telly" tonight, sorry.

11:42am Update
I believe Lucinda Williams fever is spreading! She's coming to town in April. She was chatted about on the latest Musicheads and she's playing right now!

11:25 Update
The set I just played featured two bands that are both playing upcoming gigs for us. First Fujiya & Miyagi (who'll be playing SxSW for us) and Dance Band (who will be playing our Listener Appreciation Show next week). We'll be there, will you?

11:05am Update
Any time I play a Semisonic, Trip Shakespeare or solo Dan Wilson tune, I have a friend who emails me and teases me about it because he thinks I have a secret crush. I just dig his music, ya know? Hear more of his new music here.

10:50am Update
Glen Hansard, the frontman for The Frames will be be hosting the Songwriting Course at this year's Listowel Writers Festival, Ireland's largest lieterary festival.

10:30am Update
Looks like Mando Diao are much loved in Germany! Their tune "Long Before Rock n Roll" is our Song of The Day.

So excited to learn that Sondre Lerche is coming to town!

10:06am Update
Rickie Lee Jones is in the house!

10am Update
Charles from Wrens is playing a solo gig with Takka Takka tonight!

9:50am Update
I've said it before and I wanted to test it today. Should the Brazillian Girls' tune "Rules of the game" be a Bond theme?

9:20am Update
Minneapolis band, Keston and Westdal's "Truth is Stranger" album will be made available worldwide next month. Find out about the celebration in honor of that event and where to see them play tonight right here.

9am I just played "Roll Down The Hill" a track from Fields debut disk, 7 from The Village. They're getting quite the buzz. What'd you think of it? Tonight they are wrapping up their dates in support of Bloc Party. But they've got more shows on the way in the UK in April. Learn more about the band .. here.

Rules of the Game had me wondering which James Bond movie the song had come from----you're right, it sounds like theme music from one of these.

As far as your comment about the temperature, where you said it was half as warm as yesterday, it reminded me of the joke about a temp of zero degrees one day, then different the next day. The question was, how many times warmer/colder is it (twice, three times?), in relation to zero, since anything multiplied by zero still comes out to zero.
If we were talking celsius, or Kelvin, the numbers of degrees would be far different, so the "twice as cold" idea wouldn't hold up anymore. Just a thought. We knew what you meant, anyway.

Well, Barb, if you gotta have a crush on someone, you could certainly do worse than Dan Wilson!

Isn't he just dreamy, in a cute nerdy sorta way?

Mando Diao are coming back in May as well. 5/8 at the 400 Bar.

hopefully they get a better turnout than the last time at the Triple Rock (the show was still awesome tho)
