Guster: "Bad Bad World" Video Contest

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.......

My Morning Jacket @ Terminal 5 - 10/22/10




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....

1. Wordless Chorus
2. It Beats 4 U
3. Gideon
4. What A Wonderful Man
5. Off The Record
6. Into The Woods
