Despite the fact that dance music and hip hop make up the two biggest slices of my music-listening pie chart, the third-biggest sliver is a genre I like to call Quiet Times Music. It's what I listen to at night while washing dishes, when I know Crookers will get me too hopped up to sleep, or on the train home when the workday has worn me thin. Devendra Banhart, Elliot Smith, Neko Case: QTM.Speaking of Neko, she used to bartend at The Hideout, which is one of my favorite places here in Chicago. A few weeks ago I saw her play their Block Party (she played again the next day with the New Pornographers), which was amazing. Sunday night I found myself there yet again to see Salt Lake City's Band of Annuals, and their beautiful performance has put them on my QTM playlist. They're on tour until the end of November, so if you're a fan of alt-country, or music that sounds like sitting in a field on a warm fall day, or just watching someone play the pedal steel guitar, go see them.
