Its true- I'm a concert virgin. I don't listen to a lot of new-ish music; Broadcast is my favorite group from the last ten years. My friends are better versed with new stuff. For example, one of my best friends is obsessed with Jens Lekman and saw him preform in Northampton last year.
Sadly, I missed Broadcast- my mom visited from California to see me. What a coincidence.
I'd love new music recomendations esp. contemporary classical.
My dear, your voodoo failed..........but I just noticed you're seeing a concert by Pants Yell! and am thinking that pants should dance, not yell. Hmmm.......maybe I'm old fashioned. And you're headed to a bbq show.......oh, swell tunes and some tasty bbq ribs or chicken to grub on. Philly concerts sound awesome. Hey, all that aside hope you're blessed and doing well. :-)
If the Phillies wind up beating the Dodgers again and winning another world series, it's gonna be all your fault! After all, what had the Phillies ever won before you graced the city with your presence? BOO! :p
And btw I never tried Elmore James but after you mentioned I got my hands on a vinyl copy of Dust My broom and its great and stirring and everything! Adore it!
