Finally Home and a New Album Review

Cold with a Cold

After about ten days straight of travel for business and pleasure, I'm back home in frigid New Jersey.  This cold that I acquired along the way is really dampening my happiness at being able to sleep in my own bed, but I'll deal with it like I always do:  whine and complain to CoolMom and to anyone else who will listen until it's gone.

I did manage to cobble together a review of the very first solo album by one of my guitar heroes, Johnny Marr, for Speak Into My Good Eye.  Check that out if you like.

I feel like I missed out on quite a bit while I was gone, but there are some interesting things happening this week.  If you're not like me and you're not planning to bury yourself under a pile made up of your family and your dog until the morning, you should go check out Sink Tapes at The Brighton Bar in Long Branch tonight.  They do a nice job of carrying on the tradition of VU-influenced New Jersey acts like The Feelies and Yo La Tengo.

Provided I'm sufficiently recovered, I'm trying to get CoolMom to join me on Friday for a free show at Asbury Park's Berkeley Bar featuring Accidental Seabirds and River City Extension sister band, Thanks.  If you make it to that one, come find me and I'll buy you a beverage.

Finally, I almost forgot that it was Kurt Cobain's birthday today.
