How rude of me

I realized that my decision to start this blog was to share the things I do; the concerts I see, the places I've been and the people we meet along the way. The underlying theme is the idea of strangers; how they are apart of us everyday if only for a fleeting second. I have always had a fascination with strangers and sometimes I get this overwhelming feeling that I will never know them or their story. It's fascinating, daunting, and at times depressing (however I promise not to dwell ever on the philosophical sense of how small we all really are- such bullshit if i've ever heard any).

I don't plan on turning this into a sociological theory or a photo diary of people I pass on the street. My intentions are to chronicle my past and present; to laugh at ourselves and to remember the moments in our lives that deserve more then a passing thought. Hopefully I remember a camera once or twice..moments get pretty boring when all I do is write about them.

After all those words... I realized how rude it is of me not to introduce myself! There is a story behind every picture-some of them I will surely bring up, others are just important pieces of my life that make it into something worth telling.

and today

upcoming musiks

Upcoming shows in and around Boston that I, myself and my drunken self (well not alone..I do have friends) will be at in the following months..and you should be there too. Prepare for some trouble eh? Also..for all those concerts that I dropped the ball and forgot to get tixs AND/OR could not shell out the money..i spill my beers on strangers in your honor (mainly Galactic and Mogwai..head hung in shame).

September:
Bass Drum of Death 9/13 @ the Middle East
GroupLove  9/13 @ Brighton Music Hall
 (Don't know how i'm magically gonna see two shows at once..)
Unknown Mortal Orchestra 9/16 @ Paradise
Lotus 9/22  @ Paradise
Tapes N' Tapes 9/23 @ Brighton Music Hall

October:
 RJD2 10/10 @ the 'Dise
Iration 10/19 Brighton Music Hall
We Were Promised Jet packs w/ Royal Bangs 10/28 @... I won't even be around Boston for this concert..which I am highly dissapointed in.  WWPJ is tomfoolery awesome scots and Royal Bangs just fell into my lap and are on constant replay..sound in and out wildly like a few bands I know meshed together..can you place it?

November:
WU LYF 11/3 @ The Middle East (this show will probably be moved to a larger venue..watch me be right)

If you need to edit down the list (which I probably will come Sept 1st and my hugely increasing Somerville rent falls upon me) then please just see the following: Bass Drum of Death; WU LYF; and I don't give a shit what else just do it and let me know how it goes

Cheers

LYF in NYC

I've been waiting almost 4 months waiting to go to New York City this past weekend to see WU LYF in concert. World United Lucifer Youth Foundation. 4 guys, fucking dirty and awesome. One of those bands that you know is going to dig their heels into the ground to keep themselves low and under the radar..but to no avail. They will be in Boston come November 10th- I wanted to buy tickets today (day they came on sale) but I need to contain myself and wait at least til the weekend..aka tomorrow ha

After a weekend in new york city all i want to do is go crazy here in Boston. I want to continuously meet more people and stay out til 5am. Boston doesn't give you that same feeling..for now I will be like a stranded fish on land.. flopping every which way trying to get my full of muzik (air..duh).  I'm not sure where the fish comparison came from..all I had to eat today was a salad and I'm literally going nutzo looking for my hidden stash of chocolate bars.

we shall see eh?
Cheers
