Entirely mediated by technology, the show was visceral and in-your-face enough to give the illusion of intimacy hence its unintentionally ironic title, the Up Close and Personal Tour.

The crowd had...

...Oaklands Ledisi, take home the prize, but I really dont think thats going to happen. Since the voters probably wont endorse Winehouse the real Best New Artist it appears to be a two-horse race between Feist and Taylor Swift. Could go either way, but I think country music will edge indie-rock by a nose Jims pick: Taylor Swift Shays pick:...

...Oaklands Saviours (pictured) would have co-headlined this bill, but these decisions are made in ways we arent meant to understand. Sadly, this means that many folks whod hoped to catch this promising act as well as High On Fire missed it by showing up at 10:30. And, damn, did they miss out. While Saviours prodigious musical talents easily...
