Some choices are obvious, but that doesn't make them bad. Some are not obvious, but that doesn't make them good. This is where I stand right now, but I am open to suggestions, even horrible ones.

Everyone up for some girl action next Thursday?

I'm skipping town this weekend. I'm expecting some delightful music club picks to greet me on my return on Tuesday.

Crocodile Cafe

I saw The Moondoggies Saturday at the vastly improved Crocodile Cafe. Gone are the skanky bathrooms and muffled acoustics! Larry, thanks for the recommendation. They are a great live show!

For the kids who think "King of America" is Elvis Costello's best album

Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane , the latest release by Elvis Costello, is dominated by acoustic music, heralding a return to the musical style of his 1986 album, King Of America . Ever the storyteller, Costello's lyrics feature musings on Hans Christian Anderson, P.T. Barnum, and the abolitionist movement. Costello also offers his second collaboration with Loretta Lynn on track "I Felt The Chill."
