Musical Interludes
It's been pretty much a musical drought for me this year for attending concerts. Bands I like aren't touring, or don't come near here, or other things get in the way. Considering how much of my life used to revolve around music, not going to shows is a bit sad for me. But this week it was a different story. On Tuesday, I went to see They Might Be Giants at the Southgate House. It had been years since I'd seen them and I had been looking forward to the show. It was a great one...sold out, and smoke free! I didn't come home smelling like a chimney. And I came home with the vinyl of their new album....ah, how I love new vinyl. I also stopped in upstairs at the Southgate to see Scott, who is running a weekly karaoke night. Not only did I get to see him hard at work, but he also did a song while I was there, and that was a treat, never having heard him sing.
Thursday night brought me back to the Southgate for Robyn Hitchcock. I had never seen him live before, so it was a treat. Love the stories he tells between songs, and of course, he's a great musician. Met up with MissKitty2 and cockneyrebel for the show, saw lots of other Woxy and Randomville boarders, which was a treat. Also ran into many more co-workers than I ever thought I would. And it was yet another smoke-free show, which was an added bonus.
