An Update On Why I Haven't Been Updating

Here we are again, readers. Hopefully your thirst for my pointless ramblings has been quenched by my unwavering twitter obsession, if you've been following me. And I know that there are 85 people somewhere that clicked that little grey button by my user name (@shazmgee).

Anywho. I'm preparing for Summer Camp Music Festival as we speak. Or rather, I'm procrastinating preparing for it. One minute it was still winter and I couldn't go outside, and now I'm leaving for the first music event of the summer (or second, if you count The Dead). At any rate, I'm hurrying around trying to make sure my tent isn't missing any pieces, my sleeping bag is aired out and clean, and deciding what season mother nature will choose for Chillicothe, IL this weekend and how that will affect my wardrobe choices. And then there's the footwear decisions, the snack/sustenenence preparation, and all those other things I just know will come in handy. I've been making a lot of lists.

This past weekend, Tally Hall came to town! They played a great show (of mostly new material!) at the Subterranean, which is a small but homey venue. It also has a pretty cool downstairs bar making it possible to stay even after the show has ended. The best part was when they paused the tunes to sing me their version of happy birthday! What started off as an awesome show soon turned to bloodshed, however, when yellow tied guitarist, Rob Cantor was punched in the face on the street. Rest assured the attacker was reprimanded by local officials only minutes later. Chicago is a rough city.

I acquired a copy of the new Wilco album, Wilco (The Album), this weekend. It's pretty good. It really reminds me of the Sky Blue Sky feel and I love the Feist appearance, but I find myself thirsting for more. Sorry Jeff Tweedy, I still dig you (and the new album) way hard though. Everlasting, You and I, and Sunny Feeling are among my favorites.

I'll have lots of new music chit-chat for you coming soon, after Summer Camp, where I'll be seeing the musical stylings of Toubab Krewe, Lotus, Keller Williams, Willie Nelson, Girl Talk and many more. Now it's officially time to end the procrastination by wandering around the Bucktown Target checking items off my many lists. Huzzah!
