I should be able to ramble on for a while this time, I have 2 hours to kill before my shuttle to the airport. And since I’m dressed in “back to bad weather” attire, I’m not going to the beach. Update: and of course I ran into folks and didn’t actually finish this post until I arrived home. READ MORE

It’s early (for me). Therefor my constantly repeated disclaimer of “this is going to have spelling and grammatical errors, and may be tough to follow at times” is totally in effect. READ MORE

I’ll try to blather on a bit longer than I did yesterday. Please excuse any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and/or general incoherence. Lack of sleep combined with… Jamaica.. has me a bit dazed. READ MORE

I’m sorry I’m going to have to keep this brief. I’ll try to do a longer “Day 2″ post, but there’s a beach 100″ from me and it has my name on it. With that said, I’ve posted some pictures and the setlist. Keep reading for more… READ MORE

Live Blog: Gov’t Mule @ The Beacon Theatre 12/31/09

Well I’m going to give it a shot again this evening. All the standard disclaimers apply – I’m going to get songs wrong (or more likely, not be able to identify them) particularly during the 2nd set. Please do not take the ‘live’ list as gospel. This time I’m going to avoid using my phone until I walk into the Beacon to reserve as much battery-power as I can. Pictures will be added once I’m home from the show. Have a happy and safe everyone! READ MORE

21st Annual Warren Haynes Xmas Jam: The Pre-Jam

We’ve been a little slow on the site lately thanks to my new full-time job out here in the Bay, but that isn’t stopping us from welcoming friends to the site to start dropping some contributions in their own way. First up is our long-time friend, Ross McKillop, a recent New York City transplant from Vancouver.

Hi, my name is Ross, and I’m a live music addict.

So this is my first post on the Live Music Blog. I’d like to thank Justin for giving me the platform to bather on about the concerts I go to, the music I listen to, and the (generally poor) pictures I take…

I suppose we should get this out of the way up front. I’m not a professional music writer/reviewer. Never will be. All of my “reviews”, comments and thoughts come as a fan, and always will. If I seem unprofessional at times, that’s because I am.

Lets get started. READ MORE
