Appreciation... New Camera Obscura album out today!

That's right, Camera Obscura's My Maudlin Career arrives in US record stores today! I gotta make the trip to Barnes and Noble if not today then soon! I love this new single so much!

Here's the video for "French Navy"

Anticipation... Upcoming Concert Calendar!

Since July of 2008 I have kind of slowing been getting back into the thrill of enjoying live music and getting out to see shows. I get frustrated that living in Central PA there's not a lot of cool stuff to do sometimes, but we are within driving distance of all kinds of big cities! Once upon a time, I took advantage of this a lot and roamed to Philly and Baltimore and NYC for shows, but as things go in life, I gave it up. I can't even think of a reason why... maybe just how things go with your attention span as you grow up, etc, etc. But I have really been enjoying going to shows again and seeing the bands I adore live and having someone to share my adoration for these bands has done the most to inspire this renaissance of activity in my life! And quite fortunately I have a number of cool events coming up I can report that I'll will be attending in the weeks ahead!

First up... April 14th @ Sonar in Baltimore, Lexi and I are seeing Of Montreal!



Next, we have tickets to see Franz Ferdinand with an opening act I am very excited about, Born Ruffians, on May 6th @ The Electric Factory!



Then for Lexi's birthday on May 16th, I have got us tickets to see The Shins in Philadelphia again @ The Electric Factory!



And the last show immediately on our horizon is the Camera Obscura show @ The Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia! They're touring in support of their new album that hits store on April 20th!



So that'll give me some stuff to blog about in the weeks ahead!

Good times, good times...
