The Year in Review

So I am finally inspired again to give this blog this thing another shot. Here are a few of the highlights of 2008. Travelling, it is good for the soul. I visited Chicago, Miami, Naples (FL, not the cool one), New York City and Austin. Other than spending too much money at the strip club in Miami (oh those hot Latinas know how to work me good) all of these visits were absolute successes. I would have to say Austin is now number one on my list of places to move, what a happening city. Concerts. I made an effort this year to only go to shows of bands that I have never seen. There was some duplication, but overall I it was fairly effective. Saw some amazing shows by some of my all time favorites: Roky Erickson @ ACL, the Pogues, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Band of Horses, Toots and the Maytals, Erykah Badu, The Pharcyde, Tribe, etc... Good stuff. Recorded music. Most of what I listen to is older, but here are a few of the new records I really dig. Bon Iver- For Emma, Nick Cave- Dig, Lazurus, Dig, Erykah Baduh- New America, Q-Tip- cant remember its name. Not many, but these all have my stamp of approval. Other misc. stuff. The Caps are good again. The Steelers are still good. I have a job today. My daughters still rule. That's all for now.
