Eleanor Friedberger just released her best album yet. Check out her track “Stare at the Sun” and catch her this Thursday at U Street Music Hall.

What happens when you take a cult classic TV show and adapt it for a national tour of music halls? You get Portlandia, which arrived at the 9:30 Club last night. Was watching it live any better than on TV? Not really.

Eleanor Friedberger, best known as being one half of the Fiery Furnaces, brough a set of rocking, classic pop-inspired gems to the Black Cat on Tuesday night.
