According to about 15 different MySpace bulletins in the past 10 minutes I have read, it seems as if Travis Barker (Blink-182 & Plus 44 drummer) is dead. He is one of the greatest drummers in history.
Here is the Bulletin
Turn Speakers up!!!!….
Last night on November 13th famous drummer Travis Barker was found dead in his garage. “He was found in his garage coming home from a dinner/award ceremony .”said reporter Tom Burry.
Investigators are not sure of how Former +44 drummer yet died or they are not telling the public the full truth yet.
Travis’s wifes exact words “everyone one in the world has someone special who has died in there life. Maybe it hasnt happen yet but please pray for Travis and my family. i would appericate it and who ever did this to Travis is a sick! man”

So, last night I went and saw Vanessa Carlton live, with Graham Colton.
What a performance!
Sadly, most performers tend to sell-out, or not be as interactive with their fans.
Graham Colton played a cover of “I won’t back down” by Tom Petty, and half way through the song he cracked up laughing, and the audience cheered and laughed with him. He joked around about how his ex girlfriend was a “bitch” and he joked about how everyone needed to buy a C.D.
Now if he was not playing at The Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, which is a small venue, then more than likely he would not have been as unserious.
But luckily small venues still exist.
Here is ‘Here Right Now’ by Graham Colton, the entire album up for download for free :

Vanessa Carlton was stunning. She opened with ‘Nolita Fairytale’ off of her new album, but also played such songs as ‘White Houses, Thousand Miles, and Heroes & Thieves” She had a good 70 minute performance at the minimum, and was such an entertainer. I thought she was mainstream, but performing in front of say, eh, 400 people at a small cafe doesn’t seem very mainstream to me. She stopped playing mid way through a song, because the pedal was too squeaky. She must have said the ‘F’ word 20 times, and this was an all ages show, so little kids were there, but she apologized. I love how she was open with her life and her opinions.
It was a great show.
