"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Nice, thanks for reminding me. I'm a big MMJ fan so I want to hear what Jim James sounds like solo.

    I took a lot at the full roster - my god do I wish I could be there! Gillian Welch and Son Volt are both in my top 10 favorite bands/musicians (maybe top 5). Then you have Cat Power, The Avett Brothers and She & Him. And even though I'm not a fan I'd love to see Steve Earle, Calexico and many others (though I see there would be some overlaps involved).

    I just wish they were streaming the Son Volt tomorrow. I'll try to remember and at least check out Gillian.

    Yeah, it's a great lineup. Apparently it was raining pretty bad, and they lost their audio feed during Jim James set. So the website says they'll have all the shows up .

    In the meantime, they've got a lot of shows over on their 'concerts' page. There's a Tom Waits show from the Glitter & Doom tour, plus this Jim James show from a few months ago:

    And a Kathleen Edwards show too!

    I'll have to dig around this site a little more, some good stuff.

    I check the NPR site on a weekly basis for reviews. It's a great resource.

    A few years ago they used to post full concerts as downloadable mp3's - that's how I got into Son Volt. I have trouble sitting through streaming shows at times, so I wish they would have stuck with that format.

    Will definitely check out Kathleen's show though.
