I suppose if you've made as much money as Microsoft you can afford to stream concerts for free.  Good news for Jack Johnson fans out there because you can watch his entire performance from this year's Kokua Festival here. 

This almost makes up for all those blue screens :)

Welcome to episode #28 where I am pleased to bring you a band that I wasn't sure I'd ever see on the LMP. When I saw that Cake was in the line-up for this year's Wakarusa festival I hoped there might be a chance that a taper would get their set. Fortunately for me Brian Price was able to pull off a great sounding recording and especially fortunate since I missed out on Wakarusa this year.

Cake's catchy guitar riffs, blazing trumpet solos, and off the wall lyrics all make them a great band, but I don't know if they've gotten a lot of live attention. I've seen them a couple times in the past and take if from me if you are fan you will enjoy the show. You can't really argue with the statistics, 9 out of 10 German tourist interviewed agree that their songs rock even though they miss the rising action a little bit. If you didn't get the reference check out the the video to Short Skirt, Long Jacket at about 3:30 in.

For those unfamiliar the Raconteurs they are a band of amazing musicians who’s lead singer also doubles as the front-man for a band called the White Stripes. On the music scene since 2005, I only recently became a big fan of theirs. A friend of mine lent me their latest album “Consolers of the Lonely” which I listened to almost exclusively for a solid couple of weeks. I followed that up with seeing their concert in Kansas City last April, which converted me into a devoted fan for life.

If you get a chance to get out and see them on their current tour please take it and you will not be disappointed. Here’s a recording of their October 28th, 2006 performance in Las Vegas, Nevada if you need some nudging to drop your hard earned cash on tickets.

Thanks to Carrington Crawford for the taping duties!
