Well, this weekend marks the Chicago stop for the Dave Matthews Band Caravan tour. If you’ve not heard of this monstrosity, it is a 3 day festival complete with a lineup of jam bands, alt-country and a host of other artists of a wide variety. It’s part hippie fest and part frat kid celebration, even if it does boast a few artists that I legitimately like. If you’re going, I hope you have fun. If you’re not going, I think you’ve spared yourself some cash and can probably find a better, more enjoyable use for it. Part of me hopes that the DMB tour bus has another “incident” in which a bus driver “accidentally” dumps human waste onto a boat of passing tourists. It’s been a few years since the last time DMB did that, so doing it again might help to keep things fresh. Just a suggestion. If you want to discover some great new music you won’t hear at the Dave Matthews Band Caravan, look no further than Pick Your Poison for today. Highlights include tracks from Dog Day, Fair Ohs, Go Rydell, Las Kellies and Young Circles. In the Soundcloud section you’ll also find Toro y Moi’s remix of Cut Copy, which is fantastic.
