My First Blog Post

I'm welcoming myself to the world of blogging with this entry. I've decided to create this blog as an outlet for myself to talk about what is going on in new music as well as what has gone on in music. I have an insatiable appetite for music, all the time, and wonder if there are others out there in the universe who feel the same way I do. (I'm sure I just nicked that from a Morrissey song) Ah, and that is a great way to begin my first blog by mentioning one of my all time favourite male artists, Morrissey. Just so happens I recently saw him here in San Diego on Dec 8th at our Symphony Hall. It was a stop on his "Swords" tour and it was glorious!!! The last 2 times he had been in San Diego he was HORRIBLE and BITCHY, but not this time. He even had the decency to comment and apologize about those 2 visits. Anyway, his voice was perfect and the set list was rather great as well. Not a typical Moz setlist which made the set even better.

Then the next evening I got to see another one of my all time favourite bands, Skinny Puppy. They put on another AMAZING show at the always horrible House of Blues (or House of Rules as Lucinda Williams likes to call it!). Since I've seen them many times over the past 26 years (!!!) I couldn't NOT go regardless of the venue. Ohgr and the band were top notch and the sound was actually pretty good for a change in that venue and people weren't talking throughout the entire show. Unfortunately, San Diego is known for that nasty habit. Anyway it was a 2 night extravaganza that I loved...

Since this is my first time doing an entry I'm going to keep it short here so I can check it out and see what it looks like. One of the things I'd like to do with my blog is share the music I am listening to and talk about upcoming releases and just released music as well as whomever artist may strike me at that moment to bring up and discuss. This is supposed to be fun, isn't it? And it is basically just for myself since I've not much of a clue how anyone else would find this and/or want to read it anyway.

I'm currently listening to (and enjoying) Efterklang & The Danish National Chamber Orchestra-"Performing Parades". It came with a DVD of the show as well which I have not yet looked at... Until next time remember, life is too short to listen to bad music!!!!!
