When I Drive Past the Stop N' Shop With My Radio On, I Am Like A Roadrunner

Holy. Crap. Guess who I just bought tickets to go see on March 10th at the Grog Shop?

I assure you that this is a very big deal. It's sort of like seeing, I dunno, Elvis. Only cooler. And not dead, of course. Though that might be pretty awesome/hilarious: a Zombie Elvis concert? He shakes his hips and like, pieces start falling off and stuff? Funny! Would you go to a Zombie Elvis concert? I think I would. Heck, I know I would. And I don't even like Elvis.

The only way this could be cooler would be if David Byrne were playing with him. Or if it were a Modern Lovers show circa 1972.

But I will take what I can get.

Date With IKEA

I've made no secret that David Byrne is my hero, rock&roll or otherwise. I recently discovered his online journal, hosted over at his website. It you want a good dose of David Byrne awesome, check this recent post on his first trip it IKEA.

Dude is so my hero.

P.S.: Also, the Knee Plays, Byrne's score for an avant garde play, is being reissued. I purchased the LP (vinyl, baby!) while Candace and I honeymooned in San Francisco all those years ago and am pretty excited for a (relatively) new David Byrne album.

Quote For the Day

"You may think I look sad
But I am just sleeping
It's my facial expression
I'm probably dreaming."
