I felt like there was a complete lack of steam to the show last night. I got hit with a pretty bit wall of tired about an hour before the show and never recovered. I was having a lot of trouble fitting songs together all night and the entire show felt directionless. I guess it happens sometimes.

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.
