Springsteen and Slo-Mo

Bruce Springsteen had a pretty good week this week, winning his dispute with Ticketmaster over the concert ticket behemoth's practice of directing buyers to their legalized-scalping TicketsNow site. Here's something else good that the guy who was singing live at the Super Bowl (while the E Street Band were on tape) did recently: Play Slo-Mo, the Philadelphia band led by lap steel mastermind Mike Brenner and rapper Mic Wrecka, during his second spot as a guest DJ on Sirius XM E Street Radio.

The Boss seemed pretty familiar with the Slo-Mo ouevre. "You say who is Slo-Mo? The folks in Philadelphia know, or some of the folks in Philadelphia know," he said before calling three songs, "Happy Gets Lucky," "Wicked Son" and "Another Mountain" from 2001's Novelty "great stuff," and then spinning the geographically specific "Shackamaxon" from 2005's My Buzz Comes Back. Also on the playlist: Jenny Lewis, Social Distortion, Against Me!, Nas and Olu Dara, and ex-Philadelphians Marah.

In other Springsteen news, it was announced that he is indeed headlining the Glastonbury Festival in England on June 28, the day after doing London's Hyde Park with Dave Matthews and Gaslight Anthem, one of the young bands featured in Pitchfork's ongoing cross-generational tribute to the Boss, which will feature Philadelphia's Valencia, who are currently touring Australia, in a future installment.
