TONIGHT AT 10 we'll try and briefly forget the fact that federal agents are disappearing our neighbors & have a radio show. Instead, we'll use the airwaves that we have (at least for now) and our free speech to list a narrow and carefully-scrutinized list of musical artists. Tune in, it'll be fun.

Ida and Tsunami, Levon Helm Studios, Woodstock. Inexplicably my first time seeing them and they were as wonderful as everyone told me they would be. Tsunami was also excellent as expected. Catch this tour if it comes to your neighborhood.

The Feelies, Bearsville Theater, Woodstock. These songs have been with me for so long and I love them so much, each time I hear them they seem to fit a little better. Also GO TO BEARSVILLE THEATER. What a great place to see a show. The room sounds GREAT.
