Guster recently had a contest to make a video for their new track, "Bad Bad World". This week they announced the winner, this is from their newsletter.......
"We've got a winner for our contest to make the official "Bad Bad World" video, and it's this entry from Nora McCormack in Portland ME:
Nora, you made us weep, and you made us want to be better people. Well done."
Definitely a cool video, which you can see below.......

On Friday night, I was lucky enough to see My Morning Jacket perform their album "Z" in its entirety at Terminal 5 in NYC. This was one of five nights the band was playing at this venue, a different album each night. I can honestly say that these guys have become on of my favorite bands over the last few years, definitely one of the best live bands out there.
The main set consisted of the album tracks but we got a bunch of surprises during the encore, which you can see below. I was also lucky enough to run into a friend who had an extra after-show pass allowing me to hang and talk with some of the band members. Really a great night all around, some pics and videos I took after the setlist below....

Ben Folds and author Nick Hornby have just put out a new album, "Lonely Avenue". A bit about the album and one of the singles I caught last night below. Might have to pick this album up.
First things first for today.... it's our 2 year anniversary! Thanks to all the readers for following along throughout the year. Also thank you for the feedback, comments, email, etc. I read everything and appreciate all the kind words. Here's to another great year!
This song is a big old but so good (and underrated). If you're a fan of Pearl Jam, chances are that you know Brad as Stone Gossard's other band. They're on tour now and hit the Bowery Ballroom this weekend.
