There is a special brand of lilting, acoustic folk-pop that like a magnet unfailingly draws families to their nearest college quadrangle for yet another wholesome “evening on the lawn.” Eddi Reader fits nicely—if a bit motherly—beside the new masters of the form: Calexico, Iron and Wine, and M. Ward.

You nailed it. I have never seen so many scalpers with lottery tickets before. They make the new process too easy to request too many. The money order was much better. Cash up front would ease things a lot. Or better yet, processing the charge at the time of request. Then refunding the unfortunate. Just glad to see them live, regardless of the hoops.

Warning: early Girl Talk barely resembles the Girl Talk you know and love.

Thanks Jerry! Glad you made it over here and are enjoying the site. Had you seen Friendly Fires before or were that first time like some of the rest of us?

Fantastic review and show Colin. Agree with the other posters that the bands all complemented one another. I was originally going to the show for the Friendly Fires, but picked up on The xx a couple weeks prior to the concert and was definitely looking forward to them. They did not let me down. BTW, thanks for the note with the link to the site. Enjoying all the concert reviews.

money mark: do you like them better than other groups like Outkast, Clipse, UGK, EPMD, (insert other classic group here)? If so, what is it that makes them the best?
