I fell off my bike and broke my wrist a couple months ago, so I was out for a bit with that. Then I was lazy and had a big work month and big personal month. No more excuses though, I am back! I am re-committing myself to this blog. One reason is this fall is big for music. A week ago both Kid Cudi and Cee-Lo Green released new albums. Kanye has a new one slated for Tuesday. Jay-Z has a book coming out and a greatest hits album. The end of summer means the end of festivals and the return of the smaller more intimate concerts I prefer. Thought Lupe Fiasco, Damien Marely and Nas, and The Disco Biscuits were amazing at the North Coast Festival in Chicago in September. (That was a week or two before the tragic wrist debacle and surgery that followed.) Aloe Blacc is starting to breakout, along with Ninjasonik and Dan Black. I've just started Keith Richards Memoir, and 30 pages in I can already tell it's amazing. The Rolling Stones are nothing if not charming. I caught "Nowhere Boy" and loved it, and this Saturday PBS will be airing a documentary about John Lennon's time in NYC. All things John Lennon in celebration of what would have been his 70th brithday. I also need to figure out NYE plans. Last year is was Girl Talk, this year I'm leaning towards Yeasayer. The point is that there are tons of music related items to babble about and I am here to ramble about all them. Stay tuned.
