The last live show I've hit up was the Doves about a week ago and their music translated live surprisingly well. Their new album isn't bad, but how does anyone not own "Lost Souls", one of the better albums of 2000?
Speaking of 2000, after "Fevers and Mirrors" I thought Conor Oberst would go in a different direction, but he soldiered on with "Lifted". Now, to the lovefest of music critics, he's put out the excellent country/folk rock album "I'm Wide Awake...". Good for him. His was the first live show I saw in NYC, so I have a weird association of him with my time here. It's completely involuntary, but it is the same with Ryan Adams, whom I saw free in Battery Park on July 4th 2 years ago.
