		<title>Grant Hart @ Black Cat, 1/13/11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was super excited about seeing one of my musical heroes, Grant Hart, for the first time ever, on a cold night (in a cold city, in a cold cold cold cold world). It was maybe not everything that I dreamed of, but was totally, well, interesting. I&#8217;m really glad I saw him; I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jayme Stone @ Millennium Stage, 1/10/11</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hardly ever take advantage of the Kennedy Center&#8217;s Millennium Stage, which offers free performances every day in a wide variety of art forms. On a whim, I went yesterday to check out Jayme Stone, a Canadian banjo player who explores worldwide folk traditions. It was good! Stone wasn&#8217;t a banjo virtuoso (not that I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 reviewed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2010 was a great year for music &#8212; aren&#8217;t they all? I missed more great shows than I went to, but I still saw a lot of amazing performances. Looking back, it is hard to determine what my favorite show was, but I will have to say it was Unrest at their crazy triple-reunion show [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gogol Bordello @ 930 Club, 12/30/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been an influx of gypsy, Yiddish, and Slavic&#8211;influenced music in the indie-rock scene in recent years, but I haven&#8217;t paid super close attention to it. On the one hand, it sounds like my kinda thang: I love when cultures intermingle, and I know a fair amount about eastern Europe and its cultural traditions. On [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial China, Ra Ra Rasputin @ Rock &amp; Roll Hotel, 12/10/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it seems like Imperial China are still going strong, playing lots of shows around town, going on a few out-of-town jaunts, getting some nice publicity at the end of the year for their album Phosphenes (I reviewed it here). I think this band has a tough go of it. The kind of music they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grinderman @ 930 Club, 11/16/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for the first time a couple years ago and it was a hell of a show. I have become a huge fan over the past 5 or 6 years; I find Cave to be perhaps the most interesting aging rocker in history. His past couple of Bad [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Blow @ Black Cat, 11/10/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Around a decade ago I caught some sort of K Records-related traveling extravaganza at a warehouse in Shaw. Calvin Johnson did stand-up comedy (!?), my then-sort-of-friends Dead Meadow did an acoustic set, and this chick did a random performance under the moniker Get the Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano. That was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Corin Tucker Band, Hungry Ghost @ Black Cat, 10/29/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Corin Tucker Band was in interesting prospect! I have really missed Sleater-Kinney in recent years; no one has quite replaced their role in underground music. Sleater-Kinney were passionate and full of fire and conviction, righteous anger, and indignation. We have been living through awfully dark times and it seems like nobody is out there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Isobel Campbell &amp; Mark Lanegan @ Rock ‘n Roll Hotel, 10/15/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two of my favorite albums of the past decade involve Mark Lanegan: his solo album Bubblegum and his first collaboration with Isobel Campbell, Ballad of the Broken Seas. I know his work with Campbell is supposed to be her showcase rather than his, but I am a much bigger fan of his grittier work and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Caribou, Emeralds @ Black Cat, 9/23/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Way back when, I kinda liked Dan Snaith&#8217;s project Manitoba, but not enough to follow him when he had to change his name to Caribou. Yet apparently a lot of people did. They packed the Black Cat for abstract electronic quasi-rock. Sometimes these things seem weird to me. But then, Caribou turned out to be [...]]]></description>
