I want to play these songs, man. But I'm right in the middle of Real Gone on vinyl. How's It Gonna End is playing now, and I can't bring myself to get up and turn it off.
Don't. Real Gone is a hell of a lot better. But hey, maybe later.

That crazy bitch I used to podcast with claimed to be best friends / ex lovers with the Blind Pilot guy.
I had a friend in school who told us he could get us free tickets to see the Smashing Pumpkins at the University of Illinois because he was Billy Corgan's cousin. When no tickets emerged, he amended the statement saying he'd made a mistake, that he hadn't meant to imply that he was Billy Corgan's cousin, but that instead his dad's company had once sold the band generators for their equipment. When pressed further, he reneged again saying no, we'd misunderstood yet again, it wasn't so much that his dad sold the band generators, but rather than his dad knew someone who worked in the Peoria Civic Center office who may know someone at the U of I office who might be able to wrangle a few free tickets. This didn't happen; we bought the tickets instead, and went without him.
Of course, when Toad the Wet Sprocket came to town, he got tickets for that.
Fucking Toad the Wet Sprocket! Whatever happened to those guys?

I once had the lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket on as a guest for the Jordan Rich Show.

I listened to the Blind Pilot daytrotter session the other day. The first one, not the recent one. I enjoyed it quite a bit so I downloaded the album but I haven't listened to that yet.

I also saw Okkervil River and My Brightest Diamond open for the Decemberists. Neither did much for me. (Though My Brightest Diamond did cover "Black.")
Okkervil River is interesting, but inconsistent, I think. I also so them open for the Decemberists. And I liked them well enough live, but I can't seem to find an album of theirs that I like front to back.
I'm a huge Okkervil River fan-- "The Stage Names" is my favorite.

I actually haven't heard that one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
