Tuesday night blog

I should be playing hockey tonight, but I went instead to the Boys & Girls Clubs' "Kids Night Out" fundraiser featuring the star of Snow Dogs and Los Angeles Kings fan, Cuba Gooding Jr. I had to applaud when he started talking hockey. At least the NHL is back in action and I can watch the end of the late-night games while I add this.

A couple of cool shows in Kansas City tomorrow night. 90.9 The Bridge, which is pretty much the only station I listen to these days when I listen to the radio, is sponsoring Ben Taylor and Tristan Prettyman at recordBar. Muzzle of Bees recently featured a short "review" of Tristan's recent show in Madison and is holding a contest to award a copy to her new album, twenty three. I'd say your chances to win are pretty good if you enter.

Also Wednesday, Matisyahu is playing at the Beaumont Club. More on this tomorrow morning.

Earlier today, I added Out the Other to my Blog Roll on your right. I find myself going back to it pretty regularly and enjoy Janet's take on new bands. Half the time opening up to new music is all about its presentation; she's got it down. Besides, she hooked me up with my first link back to this site at the end of her post on Gomez.

Well, I don't have any music on this computer, but I did grab this and haven't even had a chance to listen to it yet.... from the engineer demos of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, you can hear early traces of the lyrics to "Radio Cure."
