I've been sick for the past few days, and therefore I didn't want to do a lot of research on songs to place on here, or discuss why I chose the songs. Like most people, when I'm sick, I want to be comforted. People often have their favorite "comfort foods" for when they are sick, but I have compiled a list of what could be called my personal "comfort music." Some tracks are old favorites, while others are new tracks destined to become classics of mine. Beyond that, I have nothing else to say about these songs, which is good since I don't feel like writing much."Nothing This Beautiful", Pleasant Grove"Gravitate", Chomsky

"Just Wanna Try", Luna Matto"Suenos", Chasing the MuseFirst off, let me mention a couple of shows taking place tonight. Luna Matto opens for Kate Havenevik and Levi Waver at Prophet Bar. She will go on around 8:00 or so, and Luna Matto is quickly becoming one of my favorite acts in Dallas now. If you have yet to witness a show, you need to. I've yet to see Chasing the Muse, but like what I've heard of them so far. Thie song "Suenos" reminds me of Five Leaves Left period Nick Drake, and lead vocalist Aleah Dillard has a gorgeously haunting voice. If you feel like going out tonight, either show would be worth going

Last minute Rhett tickets
Congrats to the winners of this week's ticket giveaway. I know this is last minute, but I have one more pair of tickets to give out. Here's all you have to do: be the first person to send an email (ghostofblindlemon@gmail.com) with "Candyapple Corkscrew Hair" in the subject line and you win. I doubt Mr. Miller will be playing that track from Mythologies tonight; call it a hunch. Oh, and in the email, please include your cell phone number so I I can text you info on the tickets.

Rhett Miller Tickets
I've got two pairs of tickets to give away to see Rhett Miller this Saturday at Granada Theater. Salim Nourallah, The O's, and Shibboleth all open up. I usually have some sort of trivia question that I use to give away the tickets, but I'm in such a good mood that I'll make it easier on you.Why am I in such a good mood? One definite factor is Dallas' newest radio station, KXT. Being able to hear songs on the radio other than "Sweet Home Alabama" and that blasted Matchbox 20 song is such a relief. So to celebrate yesterday's debut of KXT, all you have to do to win the tickets is be one of the first two people to send me an ema

"Patricia Lynn", The Crash That Took MeLast night's TCTTM CD release show bordered on being a true force of nature. My props go out to Sons of Hermann Hall and whoever was doing sound that night, because every instrument could be heard by the audience member crystal clear. More importantly, super enormous props to Dylan Silvers and the rest of the band for putting on one of the most rocking shows I've seen all year; every member of the band is a first rate musician. If you haven't picked up Chlorine Colored Eyes, run, don't walk, to your nearest quality CD store and buy it; this is Mr. Silver's best work to date. I could rave on and on, but I'll shut
