So, I’ve been to two shows this week and will be going to a third one tonight. I’d say that makes for a very successful week. Kristian and I went and saw The English Beat<\/a> on Tuesday night. And I saw my friend Anais Mitchell<\/a> last night. Tonight Kristian and I are going to see Billy Bragg<\/a>. I’m almost overwhelmed with how much good music that is.<\/p>\n

Seeing the English Beat was a blast and a half. I love going to shows to see a band that hasn’t toured in a long ass time. There were people there who clearly haven’t been to a show since the 80’s. And they were loving<\/i> it. I love seeing older people getting into the music, dancing up a storm, putting us whippersnappers to shame. The band was all into it as well. I love it when musician are clearly ecstatic to be playing. It was awesome.<\/p>\n

Anais was pretty great too. She writes the most amazing songs, the songs that I wish that I could write. At times her voice becomes almost transcendent, it’s just so breathtaking in its beauty. I found myself getting caught up in the music. Before I knew it, the show was over. Her hourlong set was just way too short. For anyone who has a chance to, I would highly recommend that they go and see her. Or get her cd, which is equally amazing.<\/p>\n

Tonight we’re going to see Billy Bragg. From everything that I’ve heard, he’s supposed to be amazing in concert. I’ll let y’all know tomorrow. Or whenever I get around to talking about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
