Soul Asylum "Summer of Drugs" live @ Tower Records

soul asylum – old-school labelmates with my favorites the replacements – played a set at tower records last night. it was a great mixture of old songs about drugs and being cool to new songs about having kids and wars and all that crap. in-stores are fun because you see the band in their full-on terminator dork mode and how can you not love a bunch of nerdfaces like this:

Dave: Whenever we play concerts – am I the only one who thinks this is weird? Kids hold up their cameras or cell phones when you’re playing a song and say “This is my favorite song!” But it could be any song in that picture! You know?
John: Um, Dave, I think they’re taking video.
Dave: …They can do that?

you can also watch them perform "lately" and "closer to the stars."
