The G. Love show was great. Short of some initial sound qualms to start off the show, the whole band was in the groove by the third or fourth song. Highlights of the set were "Rodeo Clowns" and a long outro featuring Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" / Tribe Called Quest "Can I Kick It". In all honesty, though, the night belonged to the John Butler Trio. I had only heard of them in passing conversation before, and their live show certainly did not disappoint. From his solo acoustic performance to their full on rock tunes, these guys commanded the audience from start to finish. I'm looking forward to seeing both bands again in the near future.

Radiohead put on a spectacular 2 & 1/2 hour show. Their set covered the later half of their discography from "The Bends" to "Bodysnatchers". Also their stage was amazingly innovative. With 30+ florescent lights hanging down above the band, it was as if they were in a cave of light. They sounded awesome and they smelled delicious. If you are a fan of Radiohead I highly recommend seeing them when they come to town.

This disc starts out as fast and exciting as a new relationship. The first head bopping track, “I’m Not Over” will make you dance around the room like nobody’s watching. Not to mention the oh-so relatable lyrics, “I’m not over, I’m not over you just yet.” Honestly, who hasn’t felt the hardship of getting over a loved one? The second song is the title track; it’s slower, but just as catchy. Here you find the next step in getting over that special someone; and perfectly worded too, “I’m coming to terms, I’m starting to learn, this ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, ‘cause I’m using you, you’re using me…” Moving on, your next track sounds similar to an old Killers’ tune, and is all about being on the rebound with playful lyrics like, “Did you really think you found somebody, or did the vodka make you leave with me?” At this point in the record you might be thinking, “Wow, ‘Coming to Terms’ is my new favorite album!” But wait, then out of nowhere it hits you; like a worn out relationship, Carolina Liar starts to sound a bit tired. The latter songs aren’t terrible, but just seem to suddenly lose that spark. You may re-ignite on the 7th track “California Bound” but, at this point it just feels too little, too late. Overall, I give “Coming to Terms” a C+ in its entirety. However, the songs I have pointed out in this review are fantastic and do deserve grade A stamps, and maybe some smiley faces too.

I thought Coldplay came out swinging for the fences on Monday night at the TD BankNorth Garden.,"In My Place","Violet Hill", "Clocks","Viva la Vida",and the crowd was ready to sing along with the with each of them....OOOO and they did. Next the group played a lot of their new stuff off of Viva la Vida/Death and all his Friends and moved around the garden to sing in different location of the Garden. The good: They looked like a big time band and sounded great. The bad: it was way to short a show for a group of their stature.

Was it worth the wait? Hell yes. My only complaint is that there are not more tracks on the cd. - Just 10 - give me more.

From the first taste (and instrumental) I felt a lush and decidedly different flavor to this 4th effort of the "next U2". It also seems like the band has really embraced strings in a big way - which should be really interesting to see live. Those who are looking for Coldplay to be anything but Coldplay will be disappointed. Those of us who have been fans since Parachutes are probably going to play it over and over again. I am also surprised that I'm not sick of Viva la Vida since it is constantly getting played on the radio and on TV. I can't remember the last time I replayed a song over and over again in my car! Viva Coldplay!

Weezer’s 6th Album and 3rd self titled, this one being cleverly nicknamed "The Red Album" has a good mix of there previous 5 albums in one. Their first single off the album "Pork and Beans" has that catchy rebellious sound that been with the band since their early days. Weezer front man River Cuomo tells the story of his favorite songs and why the band got its start in "Heart Songs". Rivers also passes the singing torch to this band mates the best of the three is lead guitarist Brian Bell's "Thought I Knew". The most unique and entertaining song of Weezer's to date is "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived"...it changes musical style every 8 bars. Other stand out tracks are "Troublemaker" and "Everybody Get Dangerous".

If you get the chance, pick up the deluxe edition for 4 bonus songs(best of the them being “King”) and a write up on each song by the band.
