Pearl Jam and My Morning Jacket performed last night in Washington, DC on the Worldwide Suicide Tour. The setlist featured cuts from the new CD including "Life Wasted" and "World Wide Suicide". In addition, the setlist contained lots of the usual favorites like "Even Flow", "Leash", and "Blood". Awesome cover of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" with the band seated in middle set, also.

Neil Young recently said: "I was waiting for someone to come along, some young singer eighteen-to-twenty-two years old, to write these songs and stand up… I waited a long time. Then I decided that maybe the generation that has to do this is still the '60s generation." Now, from San Francisco Chronicle an open letter to Neil Young from singer-song-writer Stephan Smith titled "Hey, Neil Young: We

From Washington Post Quick Spins reveiw Alejandro Escovedo's Boxing Mirror by Lisa Quintela: "Aside from mulling over his personal rite of passage, the singer-songwriter weaves in an audible timeline of his musical past, including his early punk and cowpunk gigs, a brief tryst with '90s garage rock and his subsequent seven solo albums. Three decades later, Escovedo's inspired sound still
