Monday, Bob Boilen - host of National Public Radio's All Songs Considered - joins us for a look at the top CDs of 2008. NPR listeners have been voting on their favorites, and Boilen says that a few debut artists have been doing very well despite some great music from the tried and true bands. We'll see who made the final cut and ask the opinion of some of Salt Lake's own critics. We hope you'll join us with your picks too.

What five CDs would you most recommend as holiday gifts, and why? 1) Andrew Bird, "Armchair Apocrypha." This album is beautiful and accessible. It is interesting enough for the music snob in your life and just plain lovely enough for the average listener. 2) Fleet Foxes, "Self Titled." This record is full of surreal vocal harmonies that will impress the hardest of souls. It is flawless and powerful. 3) Bon Iver, "For Emma, Forever Ago." On most people's Top 10 list of the year (including ours), this record is heart-melting. Filled with intense emotion and a beautiful hint of redemption. Good for any music lovers from beginners to experts. 4) Tolchock Trio, "Abalone Skeletone." One of our own homegrown releases, this record should be selling out in stores nationwide. It is that good. Full of catchy rock songs that are too good to be kept to ourselves, this will impress any out-of-state music lovers that think they have everything. 5) Kimya Dawson, "Alphabutt." Most people know her from the "Juno" soundtrack, and her latest album (for the kids) doesn't disappoint. It is adorable and hilarious and perfect for kids — and their parents!

thanks everyone!

Back to Salt Lake City, home of Brian's super artistic sister Leia, and hometown of the dearly missed Allan sisters, who of course were the OG weezer fanclubbers. Tonight's show at the E Center was one of the smaller gigs on the tour so far, but what it may have lacked in size, it more than made up for it in volume and enthusiasm! That place got LOUD and the spirit of the fans was thru the roof! Meanwhile Rivers was a step ahead on the road to congestion recovery and had an easier time holding down the fort on his vocals tonight. At this rate he should be right back in the saddle in a few days.
While the hootenannies have provided this tour with many "weezer firsts", such as "first Theremin ever played with weezer" etc, tonight a very special first happened right down in the pit - the first ever wheelchair crowdsurfing at a Weezer show! (see 1st picture for proof!) It was an amazing sight and so cool to see a dude who normally has to fight for a good sight line be lifted up to the best spot in the arena - and held there for quite some time!
Tonight Tokyo Police Club were unable to play due to a prior commitment (some sort of TV show taping), so the local band Tolchock Trio took their place and did a great job. I was hearing some almost Replacements-ish stuff. Or Jawbox, or something cool like that. Good Midwest feeling indie/punk styles with neat sounds. Thanks for coming on board for a night guys.
