Tuesday June 14th, 2011

Hey er'body, sorry for the long silence. Lots to talk about, but two-a-days have started and I literally only have a couple minutes here and there.

    A couple of weekends ago, I saw the Tom Tom Club in Pittsburgh at the Point State Park. There was an Art Festival going on throughout Downtown and The Tom Toms happened to be part of it. They were so so so so good. Even though they are from the early 80s, their music did not seem dated or out of place at all. They were definitely older looking up there, but hey, the music was great, and it had the acoustic maturity of an experienced bunch of musicians. Not too loud, just enough volume to let you really feel it in your bones, you know? They played that great song Genius of Love:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkdV6qSm4sY&feature=related
Also, Wordy Rappinghood, Sexy Thang, and their version of Psycho Killer, first produced by the Talking Heads, I think. So many more songs were good too. It was just awesome. Not too many people were there - enough too make it a real concert, but few enough that the lawn was open enough to just lay down and rest while enjoying some awesome music. I will write more soon. I have to go to sleep now.
