New additions this week include a new Eels, Rancid, and Diane Birch (who, depending on who is talking about her, sounds like Carole King/Stevie Nicks/Norah Jones/Amy Winehouse/Duffy/Patsy Cline and every other female singer of the past fifty years. I hear some Laura Nyro and definitely Carole King. Whatever. Well worth the price of admission). Also new this week is some old New Pornographers, Golden Smog, Beck, and Paul Weller.

No current threats of Creed playing San Diego, but Ticketmaster sent me an email saying Nickleback is coming to town.

Thanks, Ticketmaster.

Yes. The keyboards and style are reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s original Woodstock.
