Prayer For The Paranoid

Mojave 3(actually only Neil and Pete of the band) performed a live acoustic session for KEXP yesterday(September 25 @ approx 3:35 pm PST). They performed "Who Do You Love", "Yer Feet", "Puzzles Like You" and "Prayer For The Paranoid". Listen to the session through the 14 day streaming archive. Can anyone rip this to mp3, or at least instruct me how to do this? Mojave 3 are at The Mod Club on October 16 - the band kicked off their North American tour in Vancouver, BC this past Sunday and according to The Straight, the band will definitely be without bandmate Rachel Goswell(who is currently off due to health problems) and in her place will be former Seafood bassist Kevin Hendrick.

Montreal campus radio station CJLO will soon be posting mp3's and some video clips of a live session by The Posies who were in their studios on October 2, 2005. As a teaser, they have posted so far one video clip of the band performing "Solar Sister" which you can access here. It's performances like this which makes me feel that "Solar Sister" is one of the greatest pop songs of the last 20 years.

Punknews.org interviews Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi, but more recently The Evens. The Evens release their new album "Get Evens" this November through Dischord. Ian also addresses Fugazi's "indefinite hiatus."

I already knew that The Figurines were going to be at Horseshoe Tavern on October 22, but I just became aware through Pollstar, that Lou Barlow will also be on the bill. I haven't seen confirmation of the Lou Barlow info on any other website[including Lou's site, the venue site] so consider this info tentative.

Whether he's ready to be heartbroken, Mr. Lloyd Cole will be at The Mod Club on November 5.

Easy Star All-Stars will be at Lee's Palace on November 12 to perform their intriguing dub-ified versions of Radiohead songs, and other songs likely. You can listen to some tracks from their "Radiodread" album here. [via Emerge Blog]

It just came to my attention that Diana Krall will be performing at the Opening Night Gala for the new Rose Theatre in Brampton this Friday September 29. I'm wondering if Mr. Costello will be in town also. Not that I could afford to attend this - tickets are a whopping $400.00 per person. If there any Elvis sightings, please leave a comment.
