Tonight: completed a trifecta of Newport Folk regulars in one week. Brandi Carlile, then Langhorne Slim, and now Margo Price who absolutely crushed it at Webster Hall tonight. Her band is freakin great, with Sean "Weird Ears" Thompson on guitar. He is something special in 3 completely different bands.
And for those who say there are no protest songs these days, all three of those acts had a current of protest energy flowing through their sets, especially Margo tonight, nearly half her set felt charged with either "fuck em all up!" or "we've got this!" energy, not to mention not one but two Dylan covers.
There are few badasses as badass as Margo Price.

Well, tonight's show was an A+, definitely my favorite of the ones I've caught so far. This guy David Mansfield out the entire show on violin and pedal steel made every song better with his presence. First hour was a psychedelic bliss-out, ambient YLT perfection with lots of oozy exploration. Second phase was a full-throttle ass-kicking. Everyone sounded amazing and the flow was exquisite. Then opener Lucinda f'in Williams (!) out for an extra poignant encore. Hanukkah Yo La Tengo at its finest.
Coincidentally, my YLT.50 according to NedBase™, which is absolutely bonkers to me. Looking forward to night #8.

Last night: exactly twenty years and a day since I last saw them, caught American Analog Set and twas like they never left. Great set last night of entrancing indie rock, steady rhythms and dreamy instrumentation. Always loved their use of vibraphone, and to experience it again last night... They were definitely ahead of their time. And also time goes fast! A good one at Pioneer Works.
Side note: show was billed as an "immersive experience" which was... Not the case. Still great!

Tonight: easing back into some livemusic. Couldn't resist a set from a new band from some friends playing in a club directly across the street from the building I used to live in 24ish years ago. Needless to say, this place and pretty much everything else around it was NOT here when I lived here.
Music is great, though, and cool spot. Tasca playing organ trio mixed with jam and 80's vibes at Brooklyn Music Kitchen in Fort Greene.
