It's been quite a while since I updated the news here, but I have been actively updating the station. Just couldn't get around to writing it here. The list above is only a partial list of songs added over the last few months. I can't find complete records of every update. There really hasn't been much out recently that really got me excited. I've been out seeing a lot of shows. At one point in September, I had seen 8 shows in 14 nights. I think that I'm still trying to recover from that stretch. It included two New Model Army shows, one in San Francisco on Saturday and one in Portland on Monday. I'm a huge NMA fan, as is my friend Jason. He introduced me to them in college back around 1986 or 1987. Jason also went to both shows and it was great fun. This is only a partial, the ones I can remember, list of shows over the past couple of months (I haven't included the local bands that you've never heard of)

Son Volt

Crooked Fingers

Robyn Hitchcock

New Model Army X2

British Sea Power

The Posies

Arcade Fire

Pernice Brothers

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

The New Pornographers

Visqueen

The show schedule has slowed down recently, which is good for both my wallet and sleep schedule. Nothing coming up in the next week or two.

Not much new to report. As usual, thanks for listening and keep sending the email.
