January catch up: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. 

pelle carlberg

Oh my goodness. Just saw the Swedish phenom Pelle Carlberg play at a tiny bar in town. Nobody knew who he was and they made him play first--before two local bands. Works out for me because I'm home early, but It's sad to see him not respected in the states like he should be. Here he is with Henrik from Edson backing him up. Excellent, excellent show.

elvis costello

Just riding home from seeing Elvis Costello & The Imposters--great show. He played like five encores which is usually pretty annoying, but this was Elvis. So many great songs. Here they are playing 'Pump It Up.'

emmylou harris

Can you find Emmylou in this picture? She's the whiteish thing in the middle that's furthest to the right of the four people shaped things. Anyhow, I just got back from seeing her play at Calvin College. Great show and the venue was fairly small and intimate (sort of) for her. Not indie small, but what you would expect at a small college. She played a great set and I do believe 'Here I Am' might be my new favorite song. She opened with it and it was the highlight of the night. Now I've got to get some sleep.
