I have been avoiding this blog for the last couple weeks. I haven't been feeling like a good musichead. But here's a little update on my attempts.
-Behind on mix-making again. Finished one this week. E Dub, yours is next.
-Finally sent Veronica Fever a CD I made her months ago.
-Joined last.fm. While this site seems suspiciously like social networking, in a constant search for new music, I think this is the next step.
-Favorite new artists:
1) James Husband (especially the song "Little Thrills")
2) Strange Boys
-It is the slow season for shows in Minnesota. Case in point: I've been going to free shows at a bowling alley on Monday nights. This week will be above average for concert-going though:
Monday: free show at Memory Lanes
Tuesday: nuthin'
Wednesday: free show at Sisters Camelot
Thursday: punk show in Iowa City
Friday: Low at The Varsity Theater
Saturday: maybe see a show in New York, maybe not
Sunday: see Saturday
Not bad for the slow season. The only thing missing is some Cedar shows. Soon to be resolved.

Whoa, Angel.
THROWBACK! You know I spent far too much time in my college days road tripping to Iowa City (from Cedar Falls) for punk shows. I'm sure all the bands I used to see are organic farmers or raising large families or both now.
Bummer about Low's cancellation. Presumably there was some other way to fill a Friday night in the 612 area code.
BTW...if you (or anyone you know) likes Nick Cave, or perhaps the 16 Horsepower/Wovenhand side of Americana...get thee to The Gilded Palace of Sin.
MamaE - We will have to trade notes. I would love to hear about the shows you saw.
Fever - Didn't find a replacement for Low, but thankfully they rescheduled. I will look into the Gilded Palace. Been on a Nick Cave kick, so that seems like a good fit.
