In the following video, Robyn stops by a country & western bar to sing "Bum Like You" during SXSW 2008.

Surprisingly, the people boot scoot down to Robyn.

As a fan of the The Swell Season, I received an interesting bulletin via their MySpace page.

Download a Swell Season gig NOW on playedlastnight.com

Would you like to re-live the experience of a Swell Season gig you have just recently attended to?

OR.....

You haven't been/will not be able to make it to any of the concerts this time around but would love to listen to a full live set performed by Glen and Mar?

Well, now you can just do that and more!

We are recording most of the shows on this tour and the lovely folks at www.playedlastnight.com will make them available for you all for downloading so you can listen to the gigs whenever and wherever you want to.

The cost of downloading a full gig is $9.95 USD. All the recordings are high quality. You can listen to previews of the tracks on their website for free.

Please read the description on the audio files provided by playedlastnight.com for each download!

As of now, playedlastnight.com features two artists, Iron & Wine and The Swell Season.

I'm a fan of live music. I also enjoy listening to multiply concerts from the same artist even if they're from different venues. Not every concert plays the same. The set list can change, one song's perfect performance may never be repeated, the energy from the crowds tend to vary. You don't want to see the number of different concerts I have for Bloc Party, Radiohead, and Sigur Rós.

I'll be keeping an eye on playedlastnight.com. Maybe I've already put it to use...

A couple months back I posted my love for Tegan and Sara. This past November, they started a Internet video tour diary show called "Trailer Talk". Watch and enjoy.

Canadian Quin twins, Tegan and Sara, have released their newest music video "Back In Your Head". It is also the first single off their most excellent new album The Con. This album hasn't left my car from the day I bought it. This might be the first CD I wear out. If you haven't yet purchased it, first slap yourself upside your head, next run out and get it. I highly recommend the CD/DVD special edition. The DVD features a 90 minute behind the scenes making of "The Con: The Movie" filmed (in HD) while they worked on the album. If you're a die hard fan, this is not to be missed.
