finally something of worth in the pollstar listings!
damien rice, st. andrews, 4-25-03
they might be giants, some summer festival appearance in ann arbor, 7-3-04
damien rice won the shortlist music prize this year (beat out the likes of bright eyes, sigur ros, interpol, the streets, the black keys and so on) and hes an irish singer/songwriter. ive read comparisons to david gray and jeff buckley, which arent completely wrong, but arent exactly right either. its just really pretty music. really really pretty music about love and loss and the like. and theres this girl who sings with him and someone who plays the chello in some of the songs...its very melancholy, romantic, dreamy. i always love the addition of strings to the modern tunes. and the harmonica too for that matter (when done properly of course) i dont own his album 'o' but i have downloaded most of the songs and well...im excited to go and see him live in april.
and july is far away, but they might be giants put on a fun show. chris' favorite band. if were still living here at that point well surely be heading to ann arbor for some shopping food and they might be giants goodness.
man that seems to be so far away.
probably because it is.
went and saw elf yesterday. not quite what i expected. much more of a kids 'feel-good' kinda story than i had anticipated, but still rather enjoyable. nice way to get into the holiday spirit.
one week till christmas! one week till christmas!
im done with my shopping. all of it. and most of my wrapping too.
maybe i should work on the website a little. ive been neglecting it, mostly because chris hogs the computer and i dont really have time. hopefully there'll be some updates soon. and on a more regular basis.
and just 2 weeks to the big new years show!!! hope jack white doesnt jump off the stage and start beating random people up!
does anybody watch ed anymore? dont. its awful. its like theyre making it up as they go along.
abc's line of fire has yet to dissapoint. ditto for my new haircut.
