I Belong with You/You Belong with Me

Here's another new band that me and the missus enjoy:



Yes, this was song has been sung to each other on a few occasions recently... pre and post-wedding... and we'll have another opportunity as The Lumineers play the Albany area on Monday, December 17... for free! Another Miller Light Concert show, so you know what that means... yes, WEQX rules.

How Soon Is... Now!

Spent the day working from home, doing more transcribing and formatting an article about Alex Ross, and waiting for the cable guy to hook us up. Pretty solitary day...

Tonight we're heading out on the town to see Morrissey in concert! Definitely one of my late high school/college favorites--especially the music he did with the Smiths. Looking forward to it... especially since we won second row seats last week from the great station WEQX-- an upgrade from tickets that were already pretty good! 

I won the tickets by guessing the DJ's favorite Moz track--it was "Ask" by the Smiths. Here's the song I think is my favorite by the gloomster... "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" (even considered having this played at our reception... heh, heh...):

Heavy/Light Show

We caught The Heavy last night in Albany. It was a special invite, so tickets were free... and the show was sponsored by Miller Light, so drinks were on the house too. On top of that... we got some Indian food before the show--Sarah had a Groupon, so the grand total for the bill was... $4.00! I swear, this was the cheapest night of quality entertainment I think I have ever had.

The show was alright. The band had a horn section which is always good, but I didn't know too many of the songs. It seemed a little lacking in energy at times, or maybe that was just us... I mean, we were catching this show when we typically head to bed on a work night. Glad we went though... the show was held at the Palace Theater, which is always nice. We'll be catching Morrissey there in just a month... can't wait for that one!

Oh, the show was sponsored by WEQX, which really is the best radio station in the Capital Region... heck, maybe the best I have heard anywhere... it's true, independent radio, with great taste. A couple years ago I was interviewed by The Berkshire Eagle on the occasion of the station's 25th anniversary (the article is archived here)... I was happy to share the love... they have introduced us to many great bands over the last seven years.
