News

I hope everyone is having a nice autumn so far (unless of course you are on the other end of the world and it's spring, Hi Down Under!)

This month seems to have been a little slow in the review department. I have a bunch written, just not posted yet. So you'll see them next month. But luckily Anna Maria is still listening and writing a lot! I am looking forward to PJ Harvey's record that comes out tomorrow. Sounds like it's going to be faboooo. [check it out]

The Vienna Teng house concert has been a larger than life event and it doesn't even happen for another month. We sold out the first show in a matter of days. Vienna was nice enough to add a second show. That one is darn near sold out too. So it's been sort of a logisitcal headache getting everyone to the show they can attend. But it's going to be worth it.

We have Beth Amsel this coming weeeknd and I'm really excited. Now if I can just get the dog pee smell out of the carpets before Saturday.

I think that's about it for newsy stuff. You can still vote for us to win a Blogger's Choice Award for Best Entertainment Blog. I know they make you register, but they don't spam you, I promise. Vote Here

Here's what else is new…

Artist Spotlight of the Month

We are taking a break from the artist spotlights this month. It's my birthday month so I'm declaring Collected Sounds the artist of the month.

House Concerts

I've already mentioned above how excited I am about these shows. If you want to see Vienna act fast, I only have a few spots left open for the Thursday (first) show.

Upcoming Shows:

October 6, 2007 Beth Amsel
[For more info]

November 8-9, 2007 Vienna Teng
[For more info]

[Click here] to see a complete list of all shows. Note: I'm going be slowly phasing out that website and just putting all the shows on the main site. Too costly to run two sites.

Concert Reviews

One of my fellow Ecto-philes, Sander, saw Joanna Newsom in Amsterdam and was kind enough to let us post it. [read it here] I'm envious, it sounds like a great show.
