- What begins as a concert review of The Academy Is… quickly turns into a rant about spoiled teenagers and a lament about what happens when one of your favorite bands becomes popular. (Observations and Musings of a Confused College Student and Wannabe Musician)

- “If you ever wanted to see a band with two lead singers and three more singing backup, a volley of instruments such as mandolins, accordions, banjos, tin whistle, acoustic and electric guitars and the ever famous bagpipes, Drop Kick Murphys are the band. It was also one of the loudest shows I’ve seen. It took me three days to get my hearing back.” (Club Kingsnake)

- “Throughout Iron & Wine’s set, one guy kept yelling out, asking Sam to play ‘Jezebel.’ Before the last song, Sam said, “We’ll play one more tune — it probably won’t be ‘Jezebel,’ though.’ It ended up being ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth,’ the last track of his most recent album, but when he came back for an encore, he played ‘Jezebel’ acoustically — just about the most gorgeous version of the song I’ve ever heard.” (LiveJournal)

- “Went to the Big D and the Kids Table concert last night. … The opening bands were Brain Failure, from China, and Whole Wheat Bread, from Florida. Talk about exotic! … WWB played a punk version of [that song where Lil' Jon sings,] ‘From the window to the wall,’ and ‘Gettin Krunk,’ then they did the Soulja Boy. I’m a fan.” (I van the Starving Artist)
