(Jon Foreman and Drew Shirley from Switchfoot)
- Sun Kil Moon plays the biting "Track Number 8" backstage at Fallon.
- Who says rock music cannot have a great message? Not these California surfers. The D Man and Rip hit the Switchfoot show this week. The San Diego band played a fun and inspiring set, swelling with the accessible dare-you-to-move anthems they do so well. After eight albums, Jon Foreman's lead vocals could not sound better, and his bandmates could not sound tighter. It was refreshing to see a regular-looking crowd, too, complete with college and high school kids, suburban dads, and a sprinkling of skaters and punks. The overwrought hipsters and less-showered were noticeably absent. Highlights included big hits "Stars," "Meant to Live," and "Dare You to Move." Lesser known tracks "Needle and Haystack Life" and "Restless" really struck a chord with me, too.
- Check out Natasha Khan in the ballad "Laura" from The Haunted Man.
- Check out the video for "Chained" from the xx.
- The D Man has been obsessed with this song and this song the past couple weeks. It invariably happens this time of year.
