The Upstate Life has finally returned, albeit a little tanner, rounder, and bitter (the latter specifically relating to the Terps who Munson'ed the game on Saturday against Clemson). And what better way to welcome back TUL then some good old fashioned music news that's of course been reported elsewhere? Alright, then let's get started! Pitchfork has reported that the upcoming White Stripes/Shins show at Merriweather on Tuesday, September 27 will be streamed live on NPR's All Songs Considered. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this will be the first show NPR has done at the Columbia amphitheater. This is great news for TUL since this will be much easier to put on the iPod rather than consume three months time trying to find someone to B&P with in order to obtain a copy of the Ryan Adams show all the way back from May. Then again, he did supply front and back album art.
