It was too nice of a weekend here in Chicago so I didn’t spend much time on the computer or the blog this weekend. I’ve got a bunch of stuff to catch up on, though. I saw that fantastic Yeasayer / Man Man show last Wednesday and then caught Rogue Wave on Friday night; both shows were fantastic. We’ve also got a new podcast coming this week, so that’s cool, too.
In the meantime, check out our posts from last week after the jump.
