Project 2010: Day 15: Australia

I love Australia. OK, I've never been. But I do love the idea of Australia. Also, the song Australia. It just makes you want to yell "la la la la!"



Seeing the Shins play at McCarren Park Pool is one of my most memorable concert experiences. It's a gigantic Robert Moses era pool in Brooklyn that had not been used in years as a pool. Several years ago they started to have shows there with the bands playing on a stage at the edge of the pool and the audience standing in the drained pool. In my mind it's a idea ripe for Lincoln Park Pool in Albany except that the band would have to be in the middle.

Another reason I love Australia is Youth Group. Today I hit the "B's" which meant listening to "Babies In Your Dream." I really enjoy Toby Martin's vocals and the the music just takes me to a happy place. Of their albums, "Skeleton Jar" is my favorite. I think their music has the rare quality of being calm and melodic but still driven.





Oh, also- made it to the "B's"!
