Friday's Ted Leo & RX show was great and fun and included Ted presiding over a wedding from the stage and then going into "Walking to Do" as the couple's first dance.  Control Top were a solid opener.

Saturday's Alejandro Escovedo house show was really a terrific night of songs and stories. I had only surface-level knowledge of AE, and had seen him once or twice. This guy has lived quite a life, and is like a music-industry Zelig - with stories of the punk days, to the Austin scene, to playing with Springsteen here and there.

I am taking an extended break.
No more shows for me until Wednesday.

Cool,  did he mention his band Rank and File and the cow-punk aesthetic in the 80's?  Grand band.  Fortunate to catch them and many of that ilk at the old 9:30.

Andrew Luck retired and now this. All my heroes are dead.

This Wednesday doesn't count as extended break...

The show at Metro Gallery tonight would be good as well.

Anyone else go to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard? that was one wild and fun ride.

Did he mention the time he did an in-store back in the late 90s (?) at DCCD in Adams-Morgan, when only me, a friend, and the store employees bothered to show up

That was a cool store. I remember seeing Sahara Hotnights doing an in-store there. Was that the same store that moved to Clarendon (top of the hill across from the Metro) then Falls Church (little strip mall) then disappeared?

I *think* you're thinking of CD Cellar, though I'm not 100%. See this article for details.

Naw, I know CD Cellar, this place ended up closer to Seven Corners. I had a vague feeling the owner was getting unhappier the further West they moved.

Vampire Weekend - Better than expected, fun show, lame ass crowd. Played at least 25/30 songs. Good times.

Kevin Morby - Top three current favorite artist at this point. Amazing show at Creative Alliance in Bawlmoor (cool little venue). There were probably 100 people there and the double bill with him and William Tyler was a must hit show. William Tyler (Former Silver Jew) joined Morby for two Jews' covers including Random Rules and another tune I can't recall the name.

Epic pizza next door at Matthew's Pizza as well.

That's cool. Love Matthew's pizza. Wish I was more social on weeknights! Would have gone.

It was seriously so good, with two Natty Bohs!

I am on a .... pizza hiatus, but I do want to try Matthew's. Maybe at end of month for John Moreland.
