Randomness: Adrien, Gigs, and Movies
Sometimes I like to run through a whole bunch of topics at once. Adrien’s gig last night, upstairs at World Cafe Live’s “Bard Sessions,” was fun. I only recognized two of the songs she played, so she must have been writing a lot since the last time I saw her. This was my first trip…

Show Recap @ The Eleven East Cafe
The show last Friday went ok. I played a longer set than I planned while waiting for the Stand In to get there. They showed up and played about 5 songs and were pretty good, although their sound was clearly too big for the room. He was nice enough to thank us for not going…

Live 8
You may have heard about a concert here last week called Live 8 to indirectly benefit starving Africans and directly benefit sellers of cheese fries. We got there as the Black Eyed Peas were playing and actually got a decent spot near the stage. I couldn’t actually see the performers, but I think my taller…

Get In Front of me Jesus
I’ve been trying to write a review of the new White Stripes album for a month and I’m about to give up. I still can’t tell if I like it and I’m willing to bet that if it’s taking me this long, I don’t.

Alec Ounsworth @ the Kensington South Forum
Friday night Jeanne and I headed out to see CYHSY lead singer Alec Ounsworth perform at the Kensington South Forum in north philly. We had a hell of a time finding the place and drove past it about three times. We found it eventually and paid the $5 cover. The neighborhood was a little run…
