*GLEE*

Wheehaaww!

So, I just found out that 2 of my most favoritest artists of the musicesque fashion are coming to town.

Bright Eyes - a fabulous dude whose latest studio album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning released in January of 2005 - with tracks featuring none other than the beautiful and ever so talented Emmylou Harris, is coming to town on June 4th, 2006 (unfortunately Ms. Harris will not be, she's on tour with Mark Knopfler).

So excited was I that I lurked around the ticketmaster website minutes before the tickets went on sale, and pounced like a sex starved nymphomaniac, snapping up 2 tix right at the 10.00am mark and hoping all to high heaven (or low hell... but hey. Who decided that heaven was up and hell was down... space is pretty hellish from the looks of it...), hoping, hoping, hoping - that the transaction is APPROVED. God what exhileration, the purchasing of things off the internet. I love it (Uh-oh).

Calexico - an effing fantabulous group whose music I was introduced to by my friend of Fort St. John. They collaborated with Iron & Wine, creating the ohmygoditslikecandy album In the Reins. They are coming to town on June 20th, 2006.

I would be lurking to buy tix, but I have to pay off some of the charges on my card first, and well, they don't go on sale until tomorrow. I may be a music fiend, but I am certainly not above basic social graces. Come now.

In other news:
I've been a blog lurker over the last little while, and I am so jealous of the fabulous fabulousness of these other folkes blogging pages. All pretty with pictures of flowers, pin-up girls and shoes - so sleek and well designed. Mine makes me feel like I am a grown woman stuck in her old bedroom at her parents house. Ick. I like the pig though.
So I might be doing some adjustments. Don't be frightened! Or maybe do be. Could be more exciting that way.

Roger Miller is the coolest dude. Wackadoo Wackadoo. You in a funk? Play Roger Miller.

Aside from spending money on tickets to shows, I am seriously in the market for more music. However it has come to be that I may need a new stereo soon. I have had mine now for nearly 10 years, and it has served me well. That little machine has seen some seriously crazy shit, played some seriously crazy shit, and now is functioning like seriously crazy shit. I am very much into the idea of a component system - but that would need to include a turn table and alas, there would be produced another grand addiction: VINYL.
