Eric D. Johnson with JRAD : Show Review
If you read my review of Gold Past Life, the shimmering, gorgeous early summer album from Fruit Bats, you know that it’s probably going to end up at the top of my albums of the year list.

Steve Gunn at Rough Trade : Listen
I’m getting really excited to see Steve Gunn perform this weekend at Industry City with Hand Habits. To prepare, I’m reliving this performance at Rough Trade. The audience was rapt – you could hear a pin drop. His expert playing and haunting voice are absolutely transfixing. This will be my fourth time seeing him this year and the first time with a full band. I only discovered him this year…
