I do this because I like the quick look back, a fun way to remember the good times I've had at shows. A lot of the usual suspects show up - Old 97's, Spoon, Quiet Company, but I caught a lot of new acts at SXSW and ACL Fest. I traveled to Australia and caught a show and went to the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. <br />
<br />
And I'm looking forward to a fun 2015! Happy New Year! Hope to see you at a show.<br />

It's become a bit of a holiday tradition for me to wrap up my year in music with the <a href="http://old97s.com/" target="_blank">Old 97's</a>. This year's show came a bit earlier than usual, but it was a fantastic rockin' blowout. They were playing their album Hitchhike to Rhome (hard to believe it's the 20th anniversary), front to back, and then, of course pulled in others from their prolific catalog.<br />
<br />
Their stuff on Hitchhike is as strong as the new material. Wish the Worst is a classic. It also includes timeless numbers Doreen, St. Ignatius and 4 Leaf Clover. Just beautiful.<br />

Back in the States and suffering from severe jet lag, I did manage to make it out for this stellar show by <a href="http://www.spoontheband.com/" target="_blank">Spoon</a>. I saw them a few weeks ago doing an ACL taping, but my seats were in the rafters and no photography was allowed. For this show, I had a nice vantage point from the floor and got to shoot a few photos and videos. They just keep getting better and better. The new guitarist, Alex Fischel, that Britt brought along from Divine Fits has added an unusual energy to the band.<br />

Glad I got to see them this year. They Want My Soul is stellar, and Do You was a great breezy, summer song.<br />

I've been remiss in updating my last few shows. Life gets busy toward the end of the year, especially when you get to go on a trip to Australia over Thanksgiving. I was very fortunate to get invited by the Journalism Education Association of Australia to speak at their conference, and I was also invited to do a workshop at the Storyology conference while I was there.
As luck would have it, an artist I have seen in Austin, the Norwegian <a href="http://www.sondrelerche.com/" target="_blank">Sondre Lerche</a>, was playing in the city. It was his first-ever show there, and the Newtown Social Club had a very nice contingent of fans for his one-man performance. He's a beautiful singer and had some adorable banter with the crowd. So glad I made it out for this one.<br />

Later in the week, I got to visit some beautiful beaches along the Australian coast. I took the ferry to Manly, a beautiful seaside village and had a wonderful day of bike riding and sun bathing. As I was going through The Corso, the main pedestrian area with shops and restaurants, I saw a crowd gathering. It was for this kid, <a href="http://tajralph.com/iphone/index.html" target="_blank">Taj Ralph</a>, who is 13 and pretty amazing. I had to add him to my musical adventures.
Sydney is a beautiful, lovely, amazing city with friendly people. I hope to be able to return to see more of Australia sometime in the near future!<br />

I just love these guys so much, even after seeing them countless times over the years. Always a rockin' high energy show. There was a big crowd of sing-a-long fans at Stubbs, and I had a fabulous time. Opening Sarah Jaffe was rockin' cool too.<br />
<br />
Used the new iPhone 6 for the photos and videos, still getting used to it, so the images aren't great. But I think the videos came out pretty well. <br />

And just like that, ACL Fest 2014 (the first weekend) is over. The good thing about this two-weekend festival is that I can check out some of the shows I missed next weekend on the live stream - some of the big headliners where it was too packed to get close, and Spoon, who was sacrificed so I could see The Replacements. Fingers crossed that the ACL TV taping fairy will once again shine favor upon me for Thursday's show.<br />
<br />
Sunday was a fun day of exploration and legends. The highlight was The Replacements, a band I have loved since I was first introduced to "indie" and "alternative" music and one that has influenced all my favorite bands since. I'll Be You and Alex Chilton still hold up, and at an increasingly EDM festival, those old rockers were a breath of fresh air for this old rock fan. Finally getting to see them live was a wonderful, full-circle kind of thing.<br />
<br />
So, that's it. Thanks, friends, for another awesome Basecamp. Three days out in the sun in Austin with good music... can't think of anything better. <br />

Saturday at ACL Fest drew big crowds. I only got close enough at a few shows to get decent pictures and video. Broken Bells were the highlight. I was at the back of the crowds for Iggy Azalea and Eminem.<br />
<br />
It's been a great fest so far. Good weather and good times.<br />

Iggy Azalea was booked on a side stage, and she was a crowd favorite. But she caused quite the late afternoon traffic jam with people coming across the park. <br />

The annual tradition of ACL Festival with my friends and our Basecamp, established with the first festival in 2002, continues. We purchased our badges only weeks after last year's fest ended, didn't know the lineup or much else about where we'd all be in the coming year. But we manage to get the core gang together year after year for great music, fun and friendship.<br />
<br />
This year's fest has a good lineup, not of band's I love, but those I want to check out. Here are a few shots from Friday. The biggest anticipation is for The Replacements on Sunday, so stay tuned.<br />

I missed the music scene so much. As you can see from previous posts, I wasn't able to enjoy much music in San Francisco and Palo Alto. There were a few shows I missed in SF due to schedule constraints, and Palo Alto doesn't really have live music. So, I was like the kid-in-a-candy-store when I got back to Austin in June, making up for lost time.<br />
<br />
Here's one big post on the summer music I have enjoyed since returning to Austin.<br />
<br />
My first week back was a big one. One of my favorite places, Hole in the Wall, was celebrating its 40th anniversary, so I was happy to be back for some of those shows. I got to see Austin faves Lil Capn Travis, Moonlight Towers and Grand Champeen, which was all I needed to feel right at home again.<br />
<br />

Then that same week, I was lucky that a Twitter friend at Austin City Limits came through with Jeff Tweedy tickets. It was great to hear those new songs that he plays with his solo band that includes his son Spencer. No photos at ACL, but it was great to enjoy the show from the floor and spend time with my friend Brent Adair!<br />

My year in California would not have been complete without a visit to the legendary <a href="http://thefillmore.com/" target="_blank">Fillmore</a>. I have been pretty lax about seeing shows this year, having missed a few due to scheduling conflicts and a non-existent music scene in Palo Alto. But when The Old 97's announced a Bay Area show, I knew I had to attend. Touring on their most recent release Most Messed Up, the 97's are riding high with a debut at #30 on Billboard and sold-out shows around the country.<br />

<br />
<br />
The Fillmore is a really large room, and it was packed (sold out) for Rhett, Murry, Ken and Philip. My sister Judy was in town, and it was her first time seeing them. It was a great show, with new songs and old, the signature Old 97's energy and a roudy good time.<br />
<br />
Photos aren't great, just from my iPhone and not too close up. But I hope these give you a sense of the excitement around these guys today!<br />

I've been a little off the radar with music this year. Spending the year at Stanford, I haven't had the chance to get to any shows in the Bay Area. Yes, I know. Lame. I hope, hope, hope to remedy that soon, at least trying to get to one or two shows in San Francisco before I leave the area for good in June.<br />
<br />
But I did get back to Austin for SXSW last week, which means I had a bit of a chance to make up for lost time. My main objective was focused on Interactive and what my students were doing at <a href="http://sxtxstate.com/" target="_blank">sxtxstate.com</a>. When that was over, it was time for fun and music. And I did see some great shows.<br />
<br />
During Interactive, I was happy to catch Band of Heathens at the Spredfast party at Speakeasy.<br />

<a href="http://rhettmiller.com/" target="_blank">Rhett Miller </a>was in town, so of course I saw many of his gigs. He played six in two days, also appeared on a panel. Rhett was promoting the new <a href="http://www.old97s.com/" target="_blank">Old 97's</a> album coming out in a few weeks called Most Messed Up. He sounded great, and the new tunes are rockin'.<br />

A real highlight was getting to see Side Effect, a band from Myanmar, first from this country ever at SXSW. The boys in this band had to overcome great hardship in getting to SXSW, but it was worth it. They rocked BD Riley's and then had a great week playing around Texas. So happy to have been at this show!<br />
<br />
Universal Music Group had some great day parties at Palm Door on 6th. I got to see some acts I hadn't seen before, including The Colourist, American Authors, The Kooks and Parade of Lights.<br />

And I had to show up for my friends in Quiet Company - saw them a couple of times, closed out the festival with them on Saturday night, which is becoming a tradition. They have some new tunes and are working on a new record that I can't wait to hear.<br />

We were all saddened by the terrible crash that occurred on Red River on Wednesday night, someone evading arrest drove through the barriers, taking the lives of three and injuring many others. This senseless act shouldn't happen at an event that has always represented fun and community. We are all still shaken, and my heart goes out to those affected by this tragedy.<br />

Happy New Year. Here's my annual rundown of the highlights of the shows I attended in 2013. Being in Northern California for 4 months put a bit of a damper on my live music excursions, but I hope to remedy that by going to some shows in San Francisco in 2014. I'll be back in Austin for good in June. Even with the light show attendance, I did get to see some favorites: Wilco, Okkervil River, The National and, of course, Old 97's. I didn't miss SXSW or ACL, and both those festivals provided the opportunity to take in a range of great acts. I saw legends like Paul McCartney, Depeche Mode and the Cure, too.<br />
<br />
At this time of the year, I always like to go back to watch these end of year videos I have been doing since 2008. It reminds me what a lucky girl I have been to have seen so many great artists over the years. If you have some extra time...<br />

Before I left on my trip to Europe, I was excited to hear that the Breeders would be doing their 20th Anniversary of Last Splash show in London while I was there. I got a ticket, which was what I thought was the worst in the house - in the balcony, behind people with seats, by the bar. Turns out, it wasn't so bad. The London Forum is a beautiful old venue. And even their lack of air conditioning couldn't spoil the evening. It was great to see Kim and Kelley rockin' those old songs. I love Cannonball and Divine Hammer. And, I can hardly hear Cannonball without thinking of that skit by The State "I love pants." If you've seen it, you are laughing.<br />
<br />
I guess you know you are old when you have gone to your fifth anniversary, front-to-back of a favorite CD. Add this to The Lemonheads' It's a Shame About Ray, Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend, The Pixie's Doolittle and Old 97's Too Far to Care (a baby at only 15). But they are all excellent records that mean a lot to me. What's next?

It was pretty special when it was announced a few months ago that Paul McCartney would be playing for his first time ever in Austin. The idea that he'd be playing somewhere right in town at a reasonably small venue of 13,000 or so was unbelievable. When the tickets went on sale, a second show was announced, making what seemed like an impossible get, more of a reality for most. So, I was relieved when my ticket purchase went through for the 2nd show. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I had seen Paul for the first time only a few years ago, during a trip to Boston. I really thought that might be the one and only time I'd get to see any Beatle, let alone getting to see Paul in my hometown. Last night's show was amazing. What a catalog of tunes. He played 38 songs for just over 3 hours. Favorites of mine included Let It Be, Paperback Writer (see below), Blackbird (solo acoustic, atop a riser), lots of Wings tunes and tributes to both John and George. It was hard and soft, even included pyro at times. It's wonderful to see someone so talented celebrating a lifetime of music.

I had been in hiding since SXSW when I emerged for two shows at the end of April. Both were my first times trying new venues. First was Atlas Genius at the new Emo's East. The venue is nice, but could use lots more parking. It was a packed, sold out show. They sounded great (much better than my videos indicate) and have lots of good songs. It was the first show of their very first headlining tour. I missed them during SXSW, so was happy to have another chance so soon!

<br />
The the next night, I headed out to the Circuit of the Americas Amphitheater to see Lumineers. I tried to see them at ACL Festival, but scheduling them on the small Austin Ventures stage was a mistake. I couldn't get close enough to see, and the best way to hear anything was to move around the back. So, it was great to see them in this new venue south of Austin. It's a nice place with good sound. I liked being on the floor, standing. The drive and parking weren't too bad, but might have not been as easy had my friend not sprung for premium parking. I think it's a nice alternative for larger acts, but I don't think I'll be heading out there much. The show was great. Lumineers sounded wonderful. They even came out to the crowd for a nice little acoustic set at the end, which placed us right next to them. Fun show.

<br />
So, another SXSW is in the books. It was a great one on many levels.. I had a great Saturday night. After seeing the fine film Downloaded, which chronicled the history of Napster in detail, I saw some great acts. I finally caught a Capital Cities set. They are an extremely high energy band. I see the disco trend growing with the kids. Then for a change of pace, I stopped by ACL Live to catch the True Believers reunion. This is a group of Austin legends, including Alejandro Escovedo and Jon Dee Graham, who played together a few decades ago. Big fun.<br />
<br />
I decided to close out my night by seeing a couple more local acts, including SPEAK, who seem to be more rockin' than pop these days. They have really matured since the last time I saw them, and I see big things in their future. My last set of the festival was with my buds from Quiet Company, who were great, always a good time. They had a big crowd for the 1am show at Buffalo Billiards.<br />
<br />
Lots of people got tickets to special shows. SXSW let badge holders enter multiple lotteries this year for tix for Green Day, Depeche Mode, the Sound City show, Prince and Justin Timberlake, among others. I entered all these drawings and was 0 for 5, giving you a sense of the luck I've had lately. Very frustrating. I am extremely jealous of all who got to see these shows, particularly Sound City, Prince and JT. Those are once in a lifetime events. But I had a great couple weeks. It's going to take some time to come down, process and assimilate all that I have experienced across SXSWEDU, Interactive and Music. Until next year, folks!

Friday was another great day, a chance to see favorites and some new bands. The Convention Center is always a good place to start. I finally got to see Divine Fits, featuring Britt Daniels of Spoon (one of my all-time favorite acts). This is a side project, collaborating with members of Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs. It's not a departure from his Spoon stuff, but it just offers some sharing of lead responsibilities. </div>

Then I traveled to Whole Foods to see Rick Springfield play on their rooftop patio. Yes, you heard that right. It was the Rick Springfield of Jessie's Girl fame, General Hospital's Dr. Noah Drake, who was playing at Whole Foods. You can't make this stuff up. He looked and sounded great in this short acoustic set.</div>

I had a chance to drop in to see one of my former students at his showcase. Zeale is a talented rapper. Definitely check him out when you have a chance. It's a high energy show, with a DJ and live drummer. Rockin'.<br />

I ended my day seeing Ed Kowalcyzk. Ed was the lead singer of the band Live in the '90s. Before my current obsession with 2000 bands like Wilco, Spoon and Old 97's, I'd say that after Barenaked Ladies (trust me, they're great. Not as silly as you think when you listen to their catalog) Live was my favorite band of the '90s. I saw them many times when I lived in Ohio, had my one and only crowd surfing experience at their show in Columbus, and loved their albums Mental Jewelry and the big one Throwing Copper. Ed is so talented, and it was great to hear him play old and new songs in this intimate setting.</div>

So, for my last day at SX, I think I will take in a film and then see if I can try to get in to see Prince or Justin Timberlake. Right... We'll see how that goes. At least there's lots of others to see!<br />

The past two days have gone by in a blur. I have been at times exhausted and others inspired and exhilarated. I've seen legends and new acts, the beauty of SXSW. Thursday was one of those days where you just couldn't believe what you got to see. It started with the Dave Grohl keynote. Before Dave went on, the SXSW Music staff paid tribute to SXSW pioneer and inspiration Brent Grulke who sadly passed away last year. It must have been a difficult event for them to plan without him, and the film they showed demonstrated Grulke's profound mark on the festival.<br />
<br />
That set an emotional tone for the day. Grohl's keynote was amazing. It was one of the best things I have seen at SXSW, including Springsteen's keynote last year. It was fascinating to learn of a young Dave growing up in Virginia, being inspired by his punk-rock cousin in Chicago and then ultimately ending up in Nirvana. When he spoke of Kurt, starting with a long pause, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.<br />
<br />
I just watched his Sound City film that he screened this week, and it is a beautiful tribute to the creative process.<br />

That could have been enough, but then after growing impatient with a panel entitled "Silicon Valley Isn't the Enemy Anymore," I stumbled into a talk celebrating 50 Years of the Beatles. It featured Rodney Crowell, Ron Sexsmith and Robyn Hitchcock. I could listen to these guys talk about the Beatles forever. Legends talking about legends. So nice. </div>

The Day Stage in the convention center is the place to be (if you have a badge). You can see all kinds of acts in a comfortable, uncrowded space. Above is Cayucas, a band I had heard on Sirius/XM. I like their song High School Lover. And then I could have called it a day. But there was one more legend in the mix - an interview with Stevie Nicks. Her music both with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist featured prominently in my childhood and teenage years. It was incredibly fascinating to hear about how she became a part of Fleetwood Mac and how her life changed after making Rumours. She is an incredibly gracious, smart, talented and inspiring person. </div>

It's just beginning, but I've already had a great first night. I started with Billy Bragg at St. David's Church. At SXSW, we have shows anywhere, and if you can see an intimate set like this, I highly recommend. Billy has a new album coming out next week, but his new stuff rings of his classic, with songs about love and politics.<br />
<br />
Next it was on to Bar 96 for Wake Owl and Royal Teeth. Both were good, high energy pop bands. Royal Teeth especially. They're as adorable as a team of Biebers and have really good songs. I saw them at ACL Fest and loved the song below "Please Pick Up the Phone."<br />
<br />
So, that's it. Today has an early start with the Dave Grohl keynote, and then an afternoon of panels and parties. The week should hold some surprises...<br />

Well, it was a month ago, but I did start off my year right with a visit to one of my favorite places on earth, Hole in the Wall. This little dive on the drag has been the epicenter of Austin music for decades. And on this night, some of the characters who are responsible for this legendary status were on stage. Paul Minor, an Austin Music Hall of Famer, ran the Rock n Roll Free For All for years on Sunday nights, and has come back with some Wednesday Happy Hours. His groups Superego and Texas Tycoons often merge in terms of personnel, with Andrew Duplantis (Son Volt), Landis Armstrong and Kevin Pearson joining him for this set. They played old original favorites and legendary Texas tunes.<br />

Before the show, I went to the delicious Uchiko for the first time with my good friend Monique Mehta. Check out some of our fabulous selections, a yummy hand roll and something called Fried Milk (no, it's not milk steak, for you It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans). What a great meal and night.<br />
<br />
I need to get out there and see some shows before SXSW!<br />

Another year is over, and I love taking this look back at the shows I saw. Even though I didn't go to as many shows as I would have liked, I still saw some of my all-time favorites, including Wilco, Spoon, Lemonheads, Radiohead, Noel Gallagher, and of course, many Old 97's performances. I do need to try harder to see more local bands this year and not take for granted that I live in this wonderful Austin.<br />
<br />
I went back and watched the video overviews I had done since 2008, and it's a great way to reminisce in just a few minutes. If you have a little free time, take a look at this brief tour through my year in music. I hope you had a great 2012, and here's to an even better, more fun, more prosperous 2013!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9969662.post-77089526550914859822012-11-23T10:17:00.002-06:002012-11-23T10:17:48.310-06:00Rhett Miller, CF Benefit, Dallas, Nov. 17, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a last minute decision to head to Dallas to support Rhett Miller for this worthy cause, the Cystic Fibrosis Benefit, held at the Granada Theater. Rhett's been doing this event for several years, and he performs solo, first at an intimate VIP setting and then later with a full band and set. He was joined on stage by Texas stars Joe Reyes of Buttercup, Salim Nourallah (who has produced several Old 97's and Rhett Miller projects) and Jason Garner (Polyphonic Spree, I Love Math).<br />
<br />
This is Rhett's hometown, so there were lots of people on hand to enjoy selections from throughout his career.<br />
