		<title>Happy Hollows, The Mantis, America Hearts @ Black Cat, 3/3/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to the Black Cat last night for no particular reason &#8212; a friend of mine wanted to go out and then looked up the band The Mantis and was mildly interested.  So I was like, ok, sure.  Ten bucks, something to do on a Wednesday night.
We hit the backstage one or two [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Clientele @ Black Cat, 2/23/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t know much about The Clientele, but what I knew I basically liked, so I was amenable to checking them out when a friend had an extra ticket.  I liked them and would like to check them out more.  They reminded me of all kinds of stuff, all of it good: Galaxie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wanda Jackson @ Black Cat, 2/12/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years I have been more and more into old country and rockabilly.  (My new favorite musician is Roger Miller &#8212; amazing!)  So I was kind of intrigued by the prospect of seeing 72-year-old Wanda Jackson in the familiar confines of the Black Cat.  I had some friends hanging [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sockets Showcase @ Black Cat, 1/22/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last month I was waxing enthusiastic about the Sockets showcase at the Black Cat, and I went and brought a bunch of friends.  And it was great!  But I got a little burned out on all-Sockets, all-the-time music thinking, and so I&#8217;m just getting around to writing it up.  
It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial China : Phosphenes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Of all the DC bands I&#8217;ve paid attention to over the years, Imperial China is my least-favorite name since Q and Not U (whose name I have complained about publically here).  Much like their unfortunately-appellated predecessors, the band-name turn-off kept me from checking out Imperial China for a long time, though I started to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sockets showcase tomorrow night!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the dizzying changes in music fandom over the past decade have been overwhelmingly to the good, there are lots of things I miss about indie rock circa 1999.  Some of the things I miss are probably shared by any music fan my age: I miss listening to full-length albums in depth, instead of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movin&#8217; On Up: Shows of the year 2009, &amp;c.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few things to mention here for my hypothetical readers.  First off I thought I would take a moment to mention my favorite live music performance of the year.  And the winner by a landslide was Primal Scream.  Yes!  They played at the 930 Club in March and put on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Versus &amp; Soft Power @ Black Cat, 12/12/09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been a busy/strange time&#8230; holidays, epic snowstorms, bouts of H1N1, apartment/living situation drama.  As a result I missed a lot of shows (and why didn&#8217;t somebody tell me that Grant Hart played at the Velvet Lounge???) and anticipate missing too many more.  But one that I really didn&#8217;t want to miss [...]]]></description>

		<title>Russian Circles @ DC9, 12/3/09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen lots of instrumental rock bands, of varying styles, and probably wouldn&#8217;t have thought of going to see Russian Circles last week, but a friend was really excited to see them, so I was amenable.  I knew them a little bit &#8212; I mentally lump them in with bands like Red Sparowes as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pixies @ DAR Constitution Hall, 12/1/09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wasn&#8217;t totally sure about going to see the Pixies &#8212; it was a show that violated a lot of my self-imposed guidelines, like &#8220;no more reunion shows&#8221; and &#8220;no more shows that cost more than 25 bucks or so&#8221; and &#8220;no more shows ever at Constitution Hall, the worst venue in the area to [...]]]></description>
