~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FEATURES: April Concert Preview by Nick Meador - 4/2/08 So spring 2008 doesn't seem in any great hurry to start looking like spring. Boo hoo. In the meantime, live music is great psychic therapy. Though Michigan comes up dry in that department from time to time, April is quite the exception! Here are some highlights of shows across the state this month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Langerado 2008 Slideshow - photos by Pietro Truba, arranged by Nick Meador - 3/26/08 MusicEdge contributor Pietro Truba attended Langerado Music Festival 2008 in the Seminole Indian Reservation west of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Truba said, "Langerado was one of the last of the music festivals I wanted to attend but hadn't, and it had been four years since I was forced to abandon a vehicle in another state. I thought I should check both of those off the to-do list. Enjoy the pictures." Click the link above to see the full-size slideshow (click "captions" to see the name of the band in each picture).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ March Concert Preview by Nick Meador - 2/27/08 Need a spring break activity? Add some Gogol Bordello to your life. Those gypsy punks and others will be enlightening Michigan music fans throughout the month. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Digital DJing by Nick Meador - 2/6/08 Have hundreds of MP3s on your computer and don't know what to do with them besides plain old-fashioned listening? Try digital Djing. It's a ton of fun and easier than you might expect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pump Up The Truth: Christian Slater Plays A Cultural Prophet by Nick Meador - 1/30/08 At the turn of the 1990s, the Allen Moyle film Pump Up The Volume pushed the value of free speech via access to FM radio, inadvertently predicting today’s digital culture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MusicEdge Best of 2007 Special by Nick Meador - 1/16/08 Think of this as a celebration of the beautiful music created last year. It is only a guide, so feel free to disagree with us.

CONCERT REVIEWS: Anathallo, The Cotton Jones Basket Ride @ MSU Union Ballroom, 3/20/08 by Nick Meador - 3/26/08 Anathallo recently relocated from Mt. Pleasant to Chicago, but they played at the Union Ballroom as if the crowd were all longtime friends. This may be the only indie rock concert on campus this semester, making it all the more special.
Anathallo play new song “Noni’s Field.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jack's Mannequin @ Wharton Center Great Hall, 2/7/08 by Sarah Coakley - 2/11/08 MusicEdge was there to see Jack's Mannequin on February 7 at the Wharton Center Great Hall. Find out the details of the performance and why it was so great.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Girl Talk, Dan Deacon @ Metro (Chicago), 1/26/08 by Nick Meador - 2/6/08 People were on stage the whole time, pushing up against the band until they jumped to the other side of the table. Security guards had to hold the table from being thrust into the crowd. This is only one of the events Nick Meador encounters when attending Girl Talk.
