Ok, I
am going to be pretty quick tonight as a bit of a work / life driven time
crunch has limited my blogging time. However, for those wondering where my
priorities lay blogging comes in behind forty minutes of yoga but ahead of
finishing the dishes. So I have found inner tranquility that will last until
someone notices that I haven’t finished the dishes and that is the one
housekeeping job that I am trusted with because I am utterly useless at everything
else to the point that even I now wonder how I survived on my own all those
years. But I am halfway through week four of the Advanced class of DDP Yoga so
I’m not going to complain just yet.
Wednesday Night Music Club: I’m going to keep with my plan of
using the Wednesday Night Music Club to continue to talk about music that has
been released in the last six months or so. But given that I have really fallen
out of the music scene compared to where I was before I am open to any and all
suggestions of what I should be listening to at the moment. Once you hit forty
you fall out of the target demographic (and the Wal-Mart demographic for that
matter) at popular music just goes whizzing by you as you wonder “So is Haim a
Corey Haim tribute band?”
Anyway,
one of my favorite bands released a new album last fall. The Polyphonic Spree
is less a band and more of a cult or at a minimum, three separate bands that
were apparently booked to play at the same time and decided to take the stage
together. It is the only band that I have seen that has had people playing harp
and theremin simultaneously with a nine person choir hanging out in the
background. Everyone wears matching robes and Tim Delaughter (formerly of
Tripping Daisy for those of you who are also fugitives from Alternative Nation)
leads the festivities. For as much of a cynic as I am seeing this band in
concert was some of the most fun that I have ever had at a show. It is
impossible to leave without feeling happy. I have no idea how these guys even
make enough money to tour but if you ever get a chance to see them you really
should take it.
