Christmas Come & Gone
Posted on December 27, 2003 at 2:53 pm | No Comments
Spent the holiday up in Vermont, as usual, combining some relaxing family time with a couple days of work. Relaxation is just what I needed … been fighting an unrelenting illness that just won’t move on. Now that I’m back in Boston, it has settled squarely in my chest, and I’m coughing like a fiend. Brutal, but enough whining outta me. Not like I’m the only sickly one in the world. Hell, half of you reading this probably have infections to call your very own. I feel your pain.
If you were paying attention, you noticed I got a little festive with a couple of Christmasy mp3s on the songs page. Both come from the 1992 Velocity Girl / Tsunami “Season’s Greetings” split seven inch single on Simple Machines. Yeah, they’re kinda crackley, and are more novelties than great songs, but consider your curiousity satisified.
I’m in the middle of a full-on obsession with the Stills. We listened to their debut, “Logic Will Break Your Heart”, non-stop on our drive north, then returned home to find them performing live on Conan O’Brien last night. To cap off the coincidence, I just checked their website and they’ve got a Boston date scheduled on February 3rd at TTs. Aces all around.
There’s some other great stuff on tap for early ’04, including Rilo Kiley playing acoustic at the Middle East next month, and shortly after that tickets go on sale for Jon Stewart’s March appearance at the Orpheum. Check out the column on the right for more area events.
Alright, time to fend off another coughing fit, take some more Robitussin, and head back to the couch. DVD on deck: The Getaway.
p.s. Speaking of Rilo Kiley, go here to download one of their live shows from August in Austin, Texas. Thanks to Largehearted Boy for the link.
