Another year....

New Year's Resolutions…are always crap. You make all these silly promises to yourself on 12/31 and then comes the new year, which is just a Thursday like any other, and you don't follow through and then Bam!, you feel bad, which stresses you out, which leads to chest pain, which gives you a heart attack and then there you are dead before the first week of January is even over….Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but resolutions are still pretty bad and even BBC news agrees with me ;o) 

Having said all that (and by now you might be wondering what the hell this has to do with live music blogging), if I was going to have any New Year's resolutions, they would be pretty much wholly related to this blog, i.e. actually post on shows within a few days of seeing them, instead of waiting upwards of two months before finally getting around to writing up anything. And then the other closely following resolution would be to actually go to more shows. There was once a time that if I went to 3 shows a month I'd be disappointed. Heck, I sometimes went to 3 shows a week! I'm hoping that last year was an anomaly and that I'll be soon heading out to shows a few times a month once again.

But don't quote me on that ;o)

So, back to the music…

I have a few shows I never did post about and at least a whopping 2 or 3 readers that would like to read about them, so I'm going to do my best to catch up this week. Stay tuned for individual posts on British India - a young upstart band from Australia that kicks ass, We are Scientists show over at Irving Plaza (lalalalala, I refuse to call it by it's new name – Fillmore my ass!), and the wonderful Rhett Miller's set at Maxwell's.

p.s. British India and We are Scientists posts will probably show up on the blog before this one, so look backwards for them :o)
