Logan Square Auditorium 1/27/6
This was my first time seeing His Name is Alive . They came across as much more bluesy than indie electropop oriented (which is for some reason what I had expected) The songs came more alive with the saxaphone, which complemented many of the tunes. As a strength, lead [...]

There aren’t enough things written about Death Vessel so I’ll add more to this vast array of electronic sense. JOEL THIBODEAU of String Builder is simply amazing. I had no idea what Death Vessel would sound like but when I saw the name of the band, I thought hmm maybe [...]

Say Hi To Your Mom is the ultimate in indie geek rock. Eric Elbogen actually wrote a song entitled “But She Beat My High Score” whose entire premise is that he had to break up with a girl because she beat his high score on a video game. I have not heard [...]
While at the Tomorrow Never Knows Festival, I spotted Thin Man and remembered I had forgotten to blog about seeing him at the Hothouse with Edith Frost before the holidays. It was one of those stretches of days I tried going to five shows in a row and therefore fell behind.
I’ve seen The Thin Man [...]
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which chronicles the life stories of a married couple from Calcutta who immigrate to the Eastern United States Boston area as well as the family that they create. It delves into a compromising of traditions with an emphasis on the strength of the family unit, the dedication of Ashima [...]

As you can see, I am feeling much better now. I’ve been on antibiotics for 48 hours and my throat appears to be less red. I’m definitely in a great deal less pain and am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after being bed ridden for the last few days. [...]
I have a tendency to blog more about bands even though I am always reading one or more books. If you would like to read a somewhat concise review of any of the following titles, click the title of the blog and scroll down ‘till you find what you are looking for.

It started Tuesday and it’s gotten progressively worse. I went to the dr and sat in a waiting room for at least an hour and a half. I couldn’t appreciate the fact that four different languages were being spoken because above it all was Bob Barker’s voice telling people to come on down [...]
Tomorrow Never Knows Music Festival
1/13/6 at Shubas
Manishevitz really surprised me, I must say. I only own one of their albums, released in 1999 and entitled Grammar Bell and the All Fall Down and it did not quite prepare me for seeing them live. On this album, they come off as the musical equivalent [...]
