I've been meaning to post a bunch of live stuff from my archive for some time now. It's hard to convey what this group of tracks means to me because we're talking about 14 songs, from 14 different artists, from 14 shows. I did what I could to make transitions fit. And I guess looking at it now, these bands do fit together. KOL lived on the road with The Strokes for years. Same with Arctic Monkeys for a time. Silversun Pickups makes records that extend the brilliance Billy Corgan introduced us to 17 years ago (and along the way evolved to something else completely). Ima Robot was as good as Radiohead. I believe in Edward Sharpe himself, because I lived for Ima Robot and still do. This FPT from Glastonbury is the dream of legends. Johnny lays into 80,000 people like it's nobody's business, completely emerged, lock-step…and it is nobody's business. And the Jeff Tweedy track reminds me of being on tour and listening to the Dead. Go figure. Set I is up. Set II isn't. I tried to pick bands that are a little more accessible than a lot of the indie stuff I've been digging on lately. I'm hoping you find something from your favorite band that you've never heard before. Share with the world if you did.

we could pay some tolls,
I wanna go, but I don't want,
to go,
alone." -Ed
