Being 5 years in the making, I\u2019m glad Jon is showing some other sides of his intimate song writing. Although due to a terrible billing at the Mercury Lounge, the second half of the set was drowned out by constant chatter. Jon left the stage 3 times and entered the crowd and asked them to be quiet. He then came back after about 10 minutes (surely after being at the bar to do a tequila shot) to play one more for a total of six songs. Blah.<\/p>\n<p>I blame the crowd on the Whigs who were on next. The crowd reminded me of a bad fraternity party filled with rowdy drunk college students. The boys seemed to just come off their corporate day jobs and the girls all hoochied up. I was amazed to see everyone singing along to their very catchy but quite predictable and uninspiring songs. The music and crowd ruined my night. Double Blah.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.jonauer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.jonauer.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.pattern25.com\/MP3s\/Jon_Auer_six_feet_under.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"><font size=-1>&#8220;Six Feet Under&#8221;<\/font><\/a> mp3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Jon Auer of The Posies has a new solo album titled \u201cSongs from the Year of Our Demise\u201d out and is going around touring.
