Shows

Saw Sharon Jones and the Daptones last night at The Knitting Factory - she's amazing! Check out the cover of "This Land is Your Land", and "My Man is a Mean Man". Soul music is back baby - big time! Also caught BoyGirl perform on Tuesday night @ Monroes which was good in a kitsch-pop sort of way - and Thievery Corporation last Friday which was amazing, despite the replacement of the lead vocalist who took her own life a short time ago. As for right now, it's Friday night and I've got a glass of red and am wearing my PJ's - what's better than that?

Coachella weekend

Back from Coachella! What a weekend. Saw lots of great acts, took in lots of beautiful scenery and sandy desert air. I have to say my favorite shows were The Futureheads, Bloc Party, MIA, and The Arcade Fire. Also really enjoyed The Kills, Wilco, Bloc Party, and New Order. Coldplay was good but we think Chris Martin had a few too many before hitting the stage. And a fight broke out during the show! Not exactly fight-inducing music, but whatever...the drummer from Bloc Party is my new hero!
