A question

Did you ever try to take an hour nap, then get interrupted by so many BS calls it turned into a three hour nap broken into 10 small, completely frustrating segments of talking, trying to sleep, sleep for a minute, have the phone wake you up?
If so, did you feel completely wrecked after it?
Monday totally sucked.
(And I know that I didn't have the worst of it.)

Passing it on...

I think this might be like The Ring, where the only way to stop compulsively thinking about it is to force someone else to see it (which is why I'm not giving ganking credit to , cause I'm certain she just posted it to cleanse her own soul.)
Anyway - it's awesome.
Watch it once, dismiss it, then find yourself coming back again and again...



You're welcome.

Saw Lucinda Williams on Tuesday

(Normally I'd post a pic of the show here, but my camera and flickr have let me down - no decent shots of the concert I attended)

Caught Lucinda's West tour at the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts in the Poconos (about 25 min past the Gap from NJ). If you can visit, it's a real nice venue, with good sightlines and good sound from just about everywhere. And most show nights, either or I'm working the venue, making sure they all stay connected.
It was a fine show, though I was surprised by the number of covers she did. She's rather famous for her strong writing, and she probably did 5 or 6 covers in her 100 minute set. They were mostly blues songs (a couple Howlin Wolf, a Fats Domino), and they were a fun diversion from the norm.
Among her songs, Unsuffer Me (which came right about the midpoint of the show) was a highlight. It's quite possibly the sexiest thing I've ever heard live. And I wasn't the only one, as the two drunks a row in front of me did everything but screw during the song. (They'd been leading up to it for some time...)
If you get the chance, catch Lucinda when she hits your town. She's also doing a series of shows in LA and NYC later this year where she's playing all the songs off of her last 5 albums, an album a night. I might try and catch Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.

I heart McSweeney's

Saw Skye on Monday!

Skye used to sing with Morcheeba, she has the most awesome smooth voice, and she's just gorgeous. Caught her at joe's Pub on Monday - terrific.
Get her new album! Listen to her fantastic-ness. Listen to Morcheeba (particularly the ultra-moody Big Calm and the superior Charango).
That is all.
