I just don't get it

Rilo Kiley, Ryan Adams and Iron & Wine ... all in the same month?

We have the Internet to thank for this.

Thank you, Internet.

Oh, and it's official: the Shins show tonight is sold out. Yes, you heard me right.

And my band The King & Caroline has a new drummer, Brian. He's good ... like, really good. We should be ready to play out soon. I'm not linking to our website because it's in for a major overhaul. Soon. I hope.

Sorry for the really pointless post. I'm just baffled -- all this good music in Hampton Roads! It's a wonderful, if slightly surreal, thing. And the band is back on track. So exciting.

In rotation: Belle & Sebastian "The Boy with the Arab Strap"
Feist "Let it Die"
The Kinks "Village Green Preservation Society"
Sufjan Stevens "Come On, Feel the Illinois" (courtesy of TTIKTDA)
