Hi Mike and all..
That sound your about to hear is an echo but hear it comes anyway. I
must chime in too. It's been a great week in music here too (I'll try
to post on Love/Zombies later whom I saw last night).

Adam played hear in Minneapolis on Tuesday night. Sadly, it was the
night of the Twin's first game in the playoffs, the VP debates AND
the Rock the Vote tour was here. I kept waiting to read "the Pope is
hosting a Viking's football discussion group brunch featuring his
favorite "hot-dishes", polka to follow the brunch" but luckily that
didn't happen. Anyway, the crowd size was a disappointment to me per
these events that did take place. What I am continually amazed by is
Adam as a performer. The show size was small but Adam gave every inch
of his heart and soul in the performance. He's the James Brown of
indie pop. Great show. They did the Mitchell cover in Minneapolis and
it was great. The people I knew who came and saw him for the first
time were completely floored. Evie Sands simply blisters on guitar
and has a lovely voice. What's more, meeting Adam and band mates they
are really great people. What a pleasure. My word of advise...catch
them, for who knows when you'll get this chance to see this band
again.
I bought Adam's new disc and per my crazy schedule and work stuff
I've only heard it once. However, it clearly has some of his best
stuff and many textures. As you may know, the disc features great
guest performers too.
I also picked up an Evie Sand's disc and man, what a voice! I got
the mid 70's disc and now I know I'm bound to pick up more in the
future.
Well, that's all for now..

NP: Wondermint's "Mind if we make love to you". Probably me fav disc
by them. I bet I'm in the minority on this list, right? The second
track could be on BB's LOVE YOU.
