The National w/ The Antlers@ Royal Music Theater

National in Royal Oak
Instead of casting my vote for the Michigan primary or drowning myself in Arcade Fire's new album that was released yesterday, I was hanging out in Royal Oak with The Antlers, The National and about 1700 neighbors, and can I just say what an amazing show it was. Out of the 21 songs The National played, only 6 were from their latest album, High Violet , so this was much more than just a sales push. Even though this is one of my favorite bands, all bias aside, if they're coming to your town - go to [...]

The joys of moving

The joys of moving As though it weren't obvious, my blogging duties have fallen severly beyond the wayside. My apologies to you all. It's been a hectic couple of months. Hopefully, after next week things shall return to the norm once the moving is done and the unpacking begins. I haven't decided which is more of a headache - packing all that stuff and wondering why in world I spent money on it, or unpacking and figuring out how to put things back together since the directions went M.I.A. I shall return when I get the internet connected [...]

The next month or so for me is going to consist of working and packing. Posts here will be kind of lacking till I get settled into the new home.

Fanfarlo w/ Freelance Whales, Majestic Cafe 12/14/09 Going to the Fanfarlo concert was somewhat of a last minute decision, but so very glad I went. If there were any US shows left, I'd highly recommend seeing them live. Unfortunately, the US leg of their tour with newcomers Freelance Whales is over. On the plus side, if you want to check out this new pop band, they're resuming the tour in January. Their debut album, Weathervanes , is scheduled to be released [...]

Time for the obligatory end of year lists; decisions, decisions

Time for the obligatory end of year lists; decisions, decisions If you're anything like me, you read blog after blog after blog with lists that seem to mirror each other just a little bit too much. And then you ask yourself "Why?" Why do bloggers come up with these lists? Why are so many of them so much alike? Answer: I have no idea - but I'm going to do one anyways. This year wasn't exactly a stellar year, in my opinion, but there were some really good albums that came out that deserve noting again. Maybe they slipped under the radar with all the hype [...]

Lykke Li - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
I'm one of those who feel that the philosophy of "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it" can be applied to music. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of most covers. For me to even listen to one is a feat in and of itself. So, when I was going through the other blogs I read and noticed that Swedish singer, Lykke Li was giving away a free download of her take on The Shirelles hit, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" I thought it would [...]

34 and counting For as far back as I can remember, the dreaded "S" word won't be joining us in the Detroit area for my birthday. Not that it got an invite. Though I had to spend my day at work and later at home doing homework, it was a really good one. Good food, lots of laughs, and just an all-around great day; exactly as a birthday should be - nice and simple. With that said, there's an Australian band that I'd been reading about on various blogs and what-not, but wasn't able to find any tunes available [...]
