Are you alright, all of a sudden you went away...

G, in from Brooklyn for the weekend, brings:

Super Hits (Janis Joplin)

Costello Music (The Fratellis)

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Modest Mouse)

Eye to the Telescope (KT Tunstall)

JFK in Beantown to see Lucinda, trumping us by a day.....we (Sharie, Keith, Trish, George, The Reet and I) will be venturing north to Northampton to the Calvin Theatre... we will be dining at the Northampton Brewery for some pre-concert libation and witty reparte (here's hoping Lu doesn't overdue her pre-concert libation)

Those who can't make the Lucinda Williams' gig on Sunday night should get themselves down to Cafe Nine for Ruthie Foster.

The more I listen, the more I like Ray Davies' latest album, Other People's Lives. Not a rocker by any means and hampered by Davies' deteriorating voice (not as bad as Bob's), it is nonetheless quite engaging with its intelligent lyrics and catchy melodies.
