I Don't Know

This is Lisa Hannigan on youtube - thanks to Chuck for posting the link on Facebook - it's absolutely lovely.

An Upcoming Show

... is Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Byham Theater in Pittsburgh. March 3rd, I think. I'm psyched to have tickets and just heard this news from Al:

"You are seriously in luck! I just found out the Alex Skolnick Trio is the opening act, with Alex sitting in with RYG."

Time for some serious preview listening!

After the Hiatus

For 4 months I've been silent, but have not been living in silence...

some highlights of my endless commuting have been:

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Hanuman, found for free on Amazon, led me to listen obsessively to the entire album - it's amazing. To quote a friend of Al's, they're badasses.

Sean Paul - where the heck have I been for the past decade?? I'm thoroughly enjoying Trinity, especially Yardie Bone and Eye Deh a Mi Knee, though I have a soft spot for the version of Give It Up To Me with Keyshia Cole.

Queen Ifrica - love this Yad to the East, can't wait to listen to the rest of Montego Bay!

Radiohead - got a bunch of music from a friend and really want to listen, but I keep getting stuck replaying Packd Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box. Moves straight into Pyramid Song so nicely.
