Reading about the Rock Show: The next best thing to being there (and sometimes better)

Just doing a bit of a blog-pimp here . . .

For some intelligent, insightful, winsome, and often humorous reviews of live shows here in Columbus, be sure to take a look at my friend Joel’s blog, Just Standing There. He contributes to the local “alt-weekly” paper here (and is pretty much the only reason I pick up said alt-weekly on lunchtime trips to Chipotle. Well . . . him and the “Other Variations” personal ads in the back. Those are disturbingly hilarious at times.)

Check it out . . . even if you don’t live here. Joel will tell you if your favorite band is worth seeing live when they come to your town or if you should just stick with hearing them on your iPod.
