Living in Austin and working in radio has given me an opportunity to see a lot of live music at a variety of venues. Unfortunately, many of the people who attend shows take the experience for granted. Maybe it is today’s youth culture, the technology or the frequency of touring acts – but everyone in the…
Before I can get on to my Top 50 Songs and Top Concerts of 2013, I need to catch up on things from the past. In fact, the last time I actually completed a year-end-list was in 2010. So, without further ado, here are my top songs of the past few years (yes I realize…
Floggin Molly Special Guest Commentary by David Thomas @The_DT_Show Flogging Molly, who never puts on a bad show, continued their streak of high energy performances this past Friday May 18, 2012. This time though, they decided to forgo their usual outdoor venue at Stubbs Waller Creek Ampitheater on 8th and Red River and instead chose…
Bruce Springsteen ACL Live | SXSW 2012 This show was simply amazing! Perhaps one of the greatest I have ever seen. It started at 9:30 and ended just after midmight. Special guests included: Tom Morello, Eric Burdon, Joe Eli, Jimmy Cliff and even Arcade Fire!
Radiohead | Austin 3.07.12 This is my #2 favorite band so getting to see them in Austin, on the floor at the Frank Erwin Center was incredible! The show did take a while to get going and lacked the energy of my last Radiohead show (In Rainbows Tour/Woodlands, TX). All in all though, it was awesome! Not just…

What a show! I got to see one of my favorite childhood(ish) bands perform the soundtrack to my middle school years. Weezer came to Austin as a part of the 101x 16th Birthday Concert Series and performed the Blue Album, in its entirety, on Monday night (6.6). As if all that were not enough- the opening band (the Knux) didn’t…
10) Dr. Dog & Deer Tick Venue: Emos Date: May 5 Dr. Dog is always good and I was really excited to see Deer Tick. I had a great view with friends and managed to score an extra pair of tickets so my beer was free. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9) Nas & Damian Marley Venue: Stubbs Date: June…
Thanks to the Budweiser Crew I got in line and eventually backstage for Muse. Check out the pics and video:
Silversun Pickups stopped by the studio to play a special acoustic 101X-Session for listeners and staff:
