I had a pretty nice weekend. Watched a lot of Twins/Yankees. Saturday I headed to Quest Ascot Room (arguably still the worst live concert venue in MN) to catch Elbow with local opening band The Idle Hands (MySpace). Unfortunately I missed TIHs, but from what people told me, they rocked; hard. Catch you guys next time! Elbow sounded excellent and delivered an outstanding set. Even the light-show (strobes) were impressive (perhaps a bit blinding though). Here's the set-list:

In other news:

> I'm slacking... I missed YYY's Sunday gig @ First Avenue. Chris wrote a review for the Strib. I also missed South and Voxtrot (at different venues) last night. Perfect Porridge has a review of the Voxtrot gig, as well as an interesting post on ear-plugs and the live rock 'n' roll experience.

> HowWasTheShow posted their review of last week's Strokes show.

> Do check out Jack White's Coke commerical.

> If this seems like a hurried post, rest assured, it is!

Gotta' go, I should Coco. I'm off to catch Editors / Stellastarr* tonight... Wear your ear-plugs kids!
