Dr. Dog live

Are you tired of hearing about Dr. Dog yet? I'm not. They've been all over the news this week promoting their new album, Shame, Shame. I didn't post the video of Dr. Dog on Jimmy Fallon because frankly, they didn't sound great. Earlier this afternoon though, they recorded a live show in Philadelphia for World Cafe Live. I wish I could have been there because they were terrific. They open with "Stranger," a song I thought I'd heard one too many times, but Scott McMicken does a great job changing up his performance on lead guitar. Listen up:

More new music from The Hold Steady

Another song from The Hold Steady's album Heaven is Whenever is gathering attention on the blogs today. This one features a clarinet solo. Listen to "Barely Breathing" at Stereogum.

8tracks playlist

I'm sitting in my room eating coleslaw and I just discovered 8tracks.com. If you hadn't heard of it either, 8tracks is a website where you can create playlists and share them with the community. Apparently, most of the users listen to great music. After about 15 seconds of browsing, for example, I found this playlist, featuring live songs from My Morning Jacket, Radiohead, Wilco and Ryan Adams:



The downside of 8tracks is that you can only skip two or three songs in an hour, and the playlist remains hidden until each song is played. Otherwise, I think exploring the site and fuddling around with some playlists is worth the two minutes it takes to sign up. If you decide to join up with 8tracks, shoot me a friend request.

New music from Diego Bernal

Diego Bernal's album Besides drops April 27, but thanks to Exponential Records, you can stream it early.

Wilco plans a festival

This August 13th-15th in Western Massachusetts, Wilco will curate a three-day festival called Solid Sound. The event will feature the band members' side projects, including Glenn Kotche's On Fillmore, John Stirratt's the Autumn Defense, Nels Cline's Nels Cline Singers, and Mikael Jorgensen's Pronto. Unfortunately, no Loose Fur. I suppose Wilco's performance on Saturday makes up for this omission. Tickets go on sale Friday at wilcoworld.net and solidsoundfestival.com.
