Maybe I should try a career in the music biz. I am a drummer, but as the joke implies, that doesn't mean I'm a musician. But I spend as much time listening to and thinking about music as I do on my other two favorite activities, sleep and... well anyway, a great deal of my distractions at work have to do with finding new music and keeping up to date on live shows.
I spend more money on live music than I do on beer, and that's amazing. But this is why I'm able to brag about things like what happened last weekend.
I went to see Black Francis, as he is once again known. If you don't know who that is, stop reading this.
I expected it to be a good show, but it was astoundingly awesome. Just a big sweaty man with a guitar and a bottle of pinot noir, and it was great.
As it happens, his wife was right behind us and long story short, my girlfriend ended up talking to her quite a bit. She even offered to put us on the guest list when their band Grand Duchy comes back for their tour.
And then I ended up doing an R2D2 impersonation for Jane Weidlin. Yes, the Go Go. That's a different story.
After that night, I got more excited about the upcoming Breeders show.
And then today I find out that the Pixies are in fact touring the US later this year, playing all of Doolittle and its b-sides. I think I peed a little when I read that.

So yeah, music is huge in my life. Any ideas?
