Hello Dear Readers,Last night I carved a pumpkin. It ended up taking a long time. It turned out well, but I didn't go out to any shows. I like shows. I do. Sometimes though it just doesn't happen. Also sometimes when you're blogging you get called into work. Then you don't have time to actually write. Ummm… that happened to me today. So that...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Tuesday, October 26th
Hello Dear Readers,Last night I remembered why I didn't go to see anything. It got cold and my body went into automatic hibernation mode. It is something that I try to fight every year. But every year it seems to get harder and harder to win. Tonight I sure that the warmth of my bed will tempt me. Here are the shows that make me not want to go...

When that happens I get a little overwhelmed. Anyway here are some shows that look goo tonight:Valentine's is having a show with Quiet Life, Alina Hardin, and Raquel Nasser. So I...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Sunday, October 24nd
Hello Dear Readers,Last night I thought I was going to a house meeting at 6:30 PM. The house meeting ended up being at 8 PM. This totally bummed me out, because had I known that I would have caught Like a Villain at Bar Bar. Sigh. Oh well. Here are the shows that looked good tonight:The Know has a show with Carcrashlander, Silian Rail, and Sun...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Saturday, October 22nd
Hello Dear Readers,Last night I had a busy night. I started at Alberta Rose as part of the Royal We at Live Wire! It was cool. Plus Willy V. of Richmond Fontaine read a bit from his novel. He is pretty good. I am gonna get that book. After that I stopped by Together Gallery and found out I missed Neal Morgan and John Niekrasz of Why I Must Be...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Friday, October 22nd
Hello Dear Readers,I think that my late Tuesday Night had a larger effect on me than I had initially anticipated it having. I ended up having to take a nap yesterday evening that resulted in me being unable to leave the house because I was too cozy. I needed the rest. But now that I am rested, I am ready to see some music. Oh dang, there are a lot of...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Thursday, October 21st
Hello Dear Readers,Last Night I was pooped. I realized much too late that I failed myself. I let there be a 20 hour gap between meals. That mixed with my three and a half hours of sleep left me very sleepy. I did not see any shows last night. but here are the shows that look good to me tonight:Mississippi Studios is having a show with Fruit Bats, Wye...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Wednesday, October 20th
Hello Dear Readers,Last night, I went to see Typhoon open for Belle & Sebastian at The Schnitz. Unfortuneately, I thought that the Doors were at 8 PM. I was wrong. The music started at 8 PM. I caught about two minutes of Typoon's set. I was pretty upset. I wanted to see them play. It was crazy to see them on a stage that size. Especially since the...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Tuesday, October 19th
Hello Dear Readers,Last night I stayed home. Basically what I need to do is save up enough to get a bike. I think that would help. I want to be able to afford to get to show and be able to pay to get in. I realize that some of my show absences have been financial decisions. I think a bike is way more economical. Anyway, enough of my bitching....

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Monday, October 18th
Hello Dear Readers,After a long day, I was unable to go out at all. I did a full day of work followed by back to back band practices and a band meeting. I just wanted to go home. Which I did. I hope that you guys went out to some shows. What did I miss? Should I be living in regret? Let me know either way. Oh, and here are some shows that look...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Sunday, October 17th
Hello Dear Readers,Last night I did not go to a show. But I did hang out with a lot of musicians (note: I don't have any real friends, just people who play music with or shared bills with). There was a birthday party at Bunk Bar. Then I went to Eric's house (he is my "friend" and also plays accordion in Y La Bamba) and he had two baby ducks. They...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Saturday, October 16th
Hello Dear Readers,I went to a show last night! After what seems forever (in actuality about a week) It felt good. I went to Doug Fir and caught The Angry Orts, Jared Mees and The Grown Children, and The Ascetic Junkies. The Angry Orts started the night, but saved their best stuff for the end of their set. Their guitar player can really play. He...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Friday, October 15th
Hello Dear Readers,Every year when it starts to get a little colder at night I have a mini freak out. It is during this temperature change that I find myself going to less and less shows. Then I have a conversation with myself that goes like this, "Why don't you want to go to the show? I bet is because you are getting old...Gramps!". Then I reassure...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Thursday, October 14th
Hello Dear Readers,Okay, I need to be honest. Lately I have not been motivated to see shows. I think the change of weather has gotten to me. I need to buck up. I need to see live music. Yesterday I was going to go out to something but then ended up not. Also I heard that I did not notice that there was some sort of music that the Hawthorne Food...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Wednesday, October 13th
Hello Dear Readers,Nothing to make you want to not want to see a show like practicing music for hours. Or at least sometimes that happens to me. I am not saying that it happened to me last night, but that happened to me last night. Did you guys make it out to any shows? Which ones? Did you see what is happening tonight? This is what is happening:Holocene...

Ben Meyercord's Live Music Picks for Tuesday, October 12th
Hello Dear Readers,Last night, I will admit, I was just exhausted. I have been kept with my current trend of staying in. Which in retrospect I regret a bit. My room mates went to go see We're From Japan! at Tube. I didn't go because of my case of the sleepies, but the guys were home before they had completely taken me over. I should have gone. Oh well....
