Hey, What Happened to the OC/D Tally?

Close Personal Friend 2012

Here we go again! Welcome to the 2012 edition of Close Personal Friend.

Hope you'll also take a moment to visit "Whatcha Gonna Play?" my web site dedicated to set lists. Go there now!


Over at examiner.com, I've got two columns:
Digital Music Examiner (I'm the "DAME") offers free, legal mp3 downloads, short features and interviews.
DC Concert Photography Examiner is where I post photo galleries and short reviews of shows.

And there's a new version of the O/CD Tally - an Obsessive's catalog of all the CD's acquired in the course of my ongoing work as a freelancer writing about music.

I'm always open to new outlets, too, so if you hear of anyone looking for words and photos about music, please share my links.

Thanks for dropping by!

The Not-So-Sweetlife Festival

You know there's probably gonna be trouble when the guy in front of you is dressed as a tequila bottle.
(It was one of those foam sheaths with a hoodie-like head piece that made the cap, although he just let it dangle down his back). And that wasn't even the first sign that the Sweetlife Festival, which is probably ending just as I type this, wasn't going to go well.

Oops. The president is about to make a speech, so I'm totally distracted. Here are a few pics of Ra Ra Riot, whom we thoroughly enjoyed (I just downloaded their latest from emusic.com) and Cold War Kids, whom we've seen before and who solidified their rep as a damn fine band.

I would have more and better photos but the PR people messed up my photo pass. That, too, will be explained further. But for now, let's go to the White House...
