Project 2010: Starting the I's!

#1: I really like Muse. I'm not sure why. I think it's maybe because they are one of a very few bands that still make music that could still be called Rock and Roll. Maybe not. Maybe it's just because they're music is interesting, and you can belt it out in a car.



#2: In 1996 my friend Rachel wore a Live T-shirt a lot this one particular summer. Not all the time, but it was a distinctive shirt, and pretty cool. Whenever I hear Live I think of her.



#3: I have way too many favorite R.E.M. songs, but any song with Superman is a winner. Really.



#4: Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" has already become a classic in my head. I don't know what an aquarium drinker is, but I assume I am one.

#5: "I and Love and You" by The Avett Brothers. Find it. Listen to it. Love it.

Company of Thieves Show

Last night I went to see Company of Thieves perform in Troy, NY at Revolution Hall, which is a generally fun place to see a show. I had been listening to their album for a couple of weeks and had generally only warmed up to a couple of the songs on the album.

Quite honestly I was shocked at what a fun band they were live. Genevieve Schatz is just a ball of energy and has a really strong, interesting voice. I think their album doesn't do her justice, quite honestly. So, all in all it was a strong, engaging and interesting show. Here's a clip of them playing Oscar Wilde which has been their radio single on Carson Daly. I wish that it could be from something else, but it is what it is. Enjoi.
