Glad to see Camera Obscura make the Top 10.

Too bad Weezer decided to skip Pittsburgh in their mini December tour. But, having watched Evan Dando wearing a Snuggie during the first half of a recent on-demand Lemonheads show, I thought it was beyond ineffective as stage attire -- it simply looked ridiculous (as advertised on TV).

My best are the Avett Brothers, Justin Townes Earle, Pearl Jam, and Ray LaMontagne.

The Avetts are such a great band, but you really have to see their live performance they will blow you away!

My best of 2009 (so far) has to be Yusuf / Cat Stevens' "Roadsinger". Wow, I had forgot how good he is. Simple and very comforting. Nice guiatr playing. Not a challenging record, but thats not what I want.

The judge of how good a release is depends on how long it stays in my player and how often it's played. Not interested in something "cool" for cool's sake, but is played only once or twice.

Don't bother going back to listen to the Neko. I hated the album at first, then really liked it, then immediately got bored with it. Strange I know but there are many, many more albums released this year better than hers.

Pains are better live than on the record, especially with the added guitarist that usually plays with them.

Still working on my year end and decade lists.

Agreed...just seems completely out of place right in the middle of the album. Have you heard their cover of "Kids/Pokerface"? Tremendously entertaining, and better than either of the originals!

No Sufjan, but from what I heard, a strong performance by Osso to a pretty small crowd.

Totally digging the Weezer album (wanted to review it this week, but we were out of space). Not so wild about the Indian track....

I already have my blue one on order! As a huge Weezer fan since the summer of 1994, I am really happy with the melodies and catchiness of Raditude. What do you think of it so far?

Sufjan himself is introducing the film and performance on four confirmed (maybe five) dates prior to the Warhol show. There is speculation that he might intro Pittsburgh as well.
