Michael Drops the Ball

Capping off the whirlwind of my last five days, I finally got to experience Tortoise in a live setting as WLUW presented them and Make Believe (my personal favorite Kinsella project) at the Metro last night. Not that I needed many more reasons, but the live show further proved that in my eyes they are absolutely the most incredible contemporary band; so if they happened to be stopping in your city, I absolutely recommend you go (granted you have probably seen them by now since they’ve been touring for the last 15 years).

Anyways, since I have barely had time to pet my cat in the last five days, I have had absolutely no time to concentrate on music reviewing and have to actually take this usual Audiversity-honed time slot to catch up on radio work. I apologize and will do my best to supply at least three good reviews for the rest of the week (I’d rather not post anything than half-ass it). I’m sure Patrick is on the ball though, so all is not lost. As a bit of a consolation prize, here is one of my favorite Tortoise songs:

Tortoise - Ten-Day Interval - TNT (Thrill Jockey 1998)
