What a Way to End the Week

Basement Jaxx, MSTRKRFT, & Modeselecktor
Congress Theater
8:00pm
TOMORROW!!!!

This will officially be my first show at the Congress so I'm feeling like a teenage boy before my first date at this point...excited, nervous, curious, and hoping for the best. I'll let you know how it goes!

Happy Halloween!!!

Man, I really love this holiday. Enjoy the weekend and I'll do the same...in my rockin' Rainbow Brite costume. One more song before I hit the road...

Put this on Repeat

Separated, and negated, it seems fated, we have to find out more.
Do you want me? tell me properly, or just stop me. Its you that i adore.

i can't wait for another second minute or hour
i can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power
i can't wait for another second minute or hour
i can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power.

i lost my head when i found my heart
but now with neither i've fallen all apart
with this voice and chord i'll tell you from the start
she never wanted me,she never wanted me.

i act stupid, due to cupid, my love's rooted, you'll have to dig down deep,
mixed emotion, fixed devotion, your magic potion you sprinkle as i sleep.

i can't wait for another second minute or hour
i can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power
i can't wait for another second minute or hour
i can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power.

i lost my head when i found my heart
but now with neither i've fallen all apart
with this voice and chord i'll tell you from the start
she never wanted me,she never wanted me,she never wanted me.

with you i can't imagine being alone
without you i can see how much i've grown
coz you made me what i am today
have you gave me all that i can take

i lost my head when i found my heart
but now with neither i've fallen all apart
with this voice and chord i'll tell you from the start
she never wanted me,she never wanted me,she never wanted me,she never wanted me

I can't stress it enough...

...but if you are free on Saturday, November 28th (and in the Chicago area) you should most definitely head over to Logan Square Auditorium for the Company of Thieves show. You can go ahead and celebrate your Turkey Day, but then once the weekend rolls around you can work off the extra pounds you've (possibly) gained with a few hours of rowdy dancing. Not much has changed since I last saw the Company of Thieves play at Wicker Park Fest this past summer. I still love the energy that the entire band brings to each and every song and I still love Genevieve Schatz. Rumor has it that the band has plenty of unreleased material so the odds of catching a few new songs will be great. What a treat!

Erin Smith & The Throwdowns

Back in 2005 I used to hang out at Sansei Sushi in Kihei and listen to Erin Smith rock out at karaoke almost every Saturday night. I've clearly moved on since then and apparently so has she. Erin Smith & The Throwdowns combines her past back-up musicians and throws in (no pun intented) a bit of reggae rock. Fantastic stuff....enjoy!

Making the Best of Monday

After a full weekend of much needed sleep, I'm still in a daze that my daily chocolate fix can't even seem to shake. Since I can't stomach the thought of hard rock at this point, how about something a bit softer?
