Two Album Reviews at SIMGE: Bleeding Rainbow, Billy Bragg

SIMGE Update

I know you know this already because you're a loyal site visitor who clicks regularly on the Speak Into My Good Eye link to see if there have been any new CoolDad Music postings at that site. Just in case that's not you, though, I'm here to let you know about my last two album reviews.

Last week, I reviewed one I've been meaning to get to for a while: Yeah Right by Philadelphia's Bleeding Rainbow. It's shoegazey, poppy, and kind of psychedelic at the same time; and I definitely felt a connection with the album's outlook on life.

Today, my review of Billy Bragg's latest, Tooth & Nail went up; and I was able to reflect a bit on what a big part Billy's music has played in my life over the years. I also really like the record.

Head over there and check those out, along with all of the other great content those guys provide, if that's what you feel like doing.

And don't forget. Trivia at The Downtown has moved to Tuesdays, which would be tonight.

Wednesday Night Trivia at The Downtown Tonight

Come Join a Team with Me

I've been meaning to do this for a long time now -- even while my friend Jim (who was instrumental in my meeting Bob Mould, Jon Wurster, et al.) was running it down in Asbury Park. Now that it's moved to Red Bank, I really have no excuses anymore.

A general reticence over meeting new people and competing at things which I'm likely to lose have been my main excuses lately, but tonight I'll be throwing caution to the wind and heading over to The Downtown to sign up by 7:15. My current events knowledge has decreased a bit as I've grown more cynical with the world and watched less news, but I'm still pretty good at baseball trivia and anything that requires one to have watched a great deal of TV from the 70s until the late 90s.

If you think you can round out our team on the other categories listed on the awesome poster, then come join me.

Same offer as always:  I'll buy you a beverage.

Poster says 1/6, but that's just when it started. There is most definitely trivia tonight at The Downtown.
