Morning little music lovers while you are (hopefully) listening to KEXP blasting the Voom Blooms or reading the announced Lolla line up don't forget to snag a post-it note and make a message to remind yourself to purchase tickets to the Raconteurs for their show at Terminal 5 on May 31st here.

Decide to walk with me, around the lake tonight

You know you love a band when you are so sad that you are missing them touring that you dream about it. Which is exactly what happened the other night. Jaime and I were at a show and we ran into someone who was going to see the Toadies and we were both so jealous. I hope everyone who goes rocks their socks off for the both of us-which would take a lot. J`slick plays a mean air guitar!

John in the Morning-my hero-doing a stagedive-during the annual KEXP BBQ
THIS might have been the LONGGGEST week of my life. Quite possibly. ANd it is not just because i became a year older. I am so excited for this weekend that i needed to post my one of my absolute favorite rock songs ever. Yes, i will classify it as a rock song, because that is just what it does, it DRIPS with solid gold, sexy, HOT rock'ness in every way i could wish for a song to do. Apparently Jaime enjoys it as well. So it is a good representative of Shelves o' Vinyl. (It is obviously 'Possum Kingdom') Also, some other fantastic tracks to lead you into the second to last weekend of the summer...where the heck did it go? Lots of lovins for you if you appreciate this post. SnaP! If you will be around this Sunday don't forget to check out my fellow nYc bloggers After the Jump music festival, it is for a good cause and the music won't be bad either. Have a good one!
