Want more singer-songwriter in your life, without the inevitable side of snore-town? Of course you do. If you're anything like us, you need any "quiet" / non-pop music you take in to be served up fresh with a heaping helping of achy and/or haunted, preferably laden with the stuff that heartstring-tuggings are made of -- and that's exactly what you'll get if you take a listen to Downpilot. Are you listening to Downpilot? If you're not {or haven't in the past}, you really ought to. And if you're going to do it, why not do it live? Of course, you can take a listen to their internets over here -- but keep on reading, because if you're free tonight, you really should go check out their show!

But we all know it's the Old 97s, yes?
