I went out and saw Land of Talk play with the Rosebuds last night - now I am really really tired, but it was really really worth it. Im in the middle of editing the show right now and will try and get it up tomorrow.

With that said - its 9pm and Im ready to go to sleep, but here's a quick post for you, before I do.

Got to catch Matt Wertz at the now-defunct Gypsy Team Room. I was very excited about getting to tape this show, since I had really enjoyed his set when I saw him in 2006 (ready about it here). However, when I got to the show I was suprised to see large hi-def cameras scattered around the room.

I wandered over to the crew and found out that they were filming 4 songs for HDNet. Nice. What was not so nice was that they were using all the soundboard audio outs, so I only got to tape the last few songs!

I've set my DVR to record every instance of True Music on HDNet - Im hoping to see the songs I didnt get to tape at some point, but as I always say - somethings better than nothing!

Enjoy.

Clearly, Of Montreal needs no introduction so let me make a few comments on the recording. I love it. The stereo mixing is gorgeous - especially the way the guitars play off of one another.

The band was in top form last night at the Gypsy Tea Room - with 900 Dallas kids losing themselves to the glittering goodness of Kevin Barnes and company.

All in all, it makes me sad that Gypsy is closing down at the end of March. Thank goodness I have tickets to another half a dozen shows there...

Have you figured out that i'm a big Jude fan?

I've posted on him a few times over the last year. Read those posts here, here and here.

I'd seen him a few times a couple of years ago in Los Angeles, at the Largo - a lovely little industry showcase/restaurant. Unfortunately the Largo, while a killer venue, take a very nazi-esque attitude to taping. So I've never managed to get a soundboard recording of Jude.

All that changed in October when he came through Texas. He was playing 3 dates - Austin, Dallas and Houston - all mid week. By some small miracle I happened to be in Dallas for work the day he was playing there, so managed to catch that show and the Houston show the next night.

Though the Houston show was significantly longer, the Dallas show was definitely the better of the two. There were about 50 (screaming) fans there, who crowded the stage and sang along to almost every song. Jude played a solid selection of songs that ranged across all his entire discography. He also took all sorts of fun requests. Unfortunately the only request he could not play was the one that I yelled out, Homerun Hillary (you can check out the studio mp3 on the second link I posted above.) Sigh.

Some of the best tracks of the night were songs from his brand spanking new record, Redemption - which came out in France a month or two ago - and which is finally available in the States at cdbaby.com - to check it out and buy it go here.

Couple of quick notes - the soundguy had added some delay onto Judes vocals, we realized it was too much during track 3 and minimized it. The Asshole Song is performed on the guitar - very cool change since its usually performed on the organ.
