Half decent show last night, nothing really special of note though.

In other news, Gaslight Anthem posted the video for “American Slang.” The video seems to filmed entirely in NYC, which isn’t horribly surprising since Brian lives in Brooklyn now, but this feels slightly like a slap in the face. I don’t think anyone expects them to constantly be “JERSEY! JERSEY! JERSEY!” but they’ve always been so proud of being from New Jersey and it was a very big part of who they are and what the music was about. To turnaround now and make a video that is so in-your-face NYC just doesn’t feel right.

Anyway, the video is below and the playlist from last night’s radio show is below that.

The Playlist last night was a bit on the folkier/acousticy-er/chiller side of things, but it was a decent show. I wanted to do something more upbeat, but that didn’t really pan out. I wouldn’t really say that’s a bad thing though.

I always feel like missing a week kills me. There ends up being too much music to go through before the show and since I wasn’t able to do the show last week because I was at my fiancée’s sister’s high school graduation, it was one of those nights. I’ll spend the next couple of weeks still catching up.
