Labor Day Weekend in St. Louis: Lil Wayne, Ratatat, East Loop Block Par-tay
I am on such a high right now. Not only did the Post-Rockist endorsed presidential candidate Barack Obama deliver a glorious knock-out acceptance speech last night, but I’m looking forward to a three day weekend filled with good music.

It probably helps that he’s one of rock music’s biggest stars, but seeing him last night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis he looked as genuinely excited to be there as everyone else in the stadium. The show started [...]

Brooooose!
I’m going to see Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band tomorrow night, and I haven’t been this excited for something since that time when I got an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle for Christmas a few years back.
