2010 Concert Round-Up Part 2
Here's part two (July - December 2010) of my best concert moments of 2010. I'm just going to jump right in.
July 18, 2010 - Swell Season, She & Him, and Bird & the Bee @ the Hollywood Bowl
Cool story about this show: I almost got run over by a golf cart carrying Jenny & Johnny. Opening up the night was a band already mentioned in Part 1: The Bird and the Bee. Inara looks to have already lost all the baby weight in like 2 months. Jealous!
She & Him was the next band up. I'll save the She & Him video for later in the post.
Closing out the show was the Oscar winning duo from Once: The Swell Season. Glen Hansard puts his heart and soul into every song. I have been known to shed tears at Swell Season shows before and this show was no exception. Here is a video of Glen and Markéta performing Lies.

2010 Concert Round-Up Part 1
I'm back again with a round up of some of my favorite moments at concerts this year. I couldn't rank the concerts so instead I am just listing them chronologically. Believe it or not, this is just a best of and not every concert I attended this year. So enjoy the videos and mp3s below and maybe I'll convert a few new fans for these bands.
Jan 22 - Cold War Kids @ The Wiltern in LA
Great local LA band that has been getting pretty big the last few years. They were cool enough to record a bootleg of the entire show and gave the link to everyone who attended. Here's "We Used To Vacation" off their bootleg:
Jan 23, 2010 - Pee Wee Herman @ Club Nokia
I know this is technically not a concert but it was one of the best shows I went to this year and he did sing. I wish they would bring back the tv show.

Concert's Corner: Concert Log #1
Occasional Concert Logs, Reviews, Videos, MP3s, gifs, and anything else that fuels my addiction.
Concert Log #1:
Who: Brendan Benson and the Posies
Where: Club Nokia in Los Angeles
When: Friday, December 3rd, 2010
Notes:
Brendan Benson (also known as "the other singer in the Raconteurs") put on a great show to a mostly empty house (350 people / 2300 capacity). He would have been better served playing a more intimate venue.
I've been a fan of Brendan Benson since I first downloaded "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" from Stereogum way back in 2005. He has knack for writing great Power Pop Songs that hook you in, lodge themselves in your brain and get stuck for days.
Enjoy Garbage Day from his latest Album My Old Familiar Friend.
I have to admit to not really knowing much of anything about the Posies. I never got around to looking them up prior to the show and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I didn't hate their music.
In Conclusion, we should all be so lucky to find something in this world we enjoy as much as this guy enjoyed the Posies.
Next Week: A Super Indie Xmas. Be prepared for some Yacht Rock vs. Coppola Soundtrack Band Reviews and maybe some emo fashion tips from the tweens I'm sure to be outnumbered by.
