Quick Things
Welcome Mark!
First and foremost, I would like to welcome my brother Mark to the fold. He unleashed one of his riffs on me in one of the comment sections earlier today. Just imagine him delivering that uninterrupted with a straight face, and you will know why I can’t stop laughing when he is around. Although my mom just gets angry because I encourage him.
OneLine Drawing
On saturday, February 1, I will be going to the
Grog Shop in Coventry to see OneLineDrawing. This is a one-guy band type of deal. Just one guy and a guitar, sometimes playing with a drum beat and sometimes with a music backing, but always with the sound effects from his 1 foot high replica toy of R2D2. I saw OneLineDrawing open up for Thursday at the Agora, and the songs are beautiful. Jonah, the guy in OLD, is really fun to watch and has a great singing voice. So, make sure if you live in the Cleveland area, you do NOT miss this show. I will see you there.
The Used
More music. I CANNOT stop listening to the eponymous debut byThe Used. For those of you who watch the Osbournes on MTV, the lead singer is that scuzzy looking dude named Bert, who is dating Kelly on a couple of the shows. Their album is absolutely infectious. It is melodic, abrasive, and beautiful at different points. I am going to see them on February 13th at the Agora in Cleveland. Originally, I just wanted to see another band called Finch, but now I am more excited to see The Used. For those of you who want to check out a couple songs by The Used, make sure you listen to, “On My Own” and/or “Poetic Tragedy.” I think you will fall in love.
Anyone else going to these shows?

I saw OneLineDrawing a couple years ago, opening for someone, maybe the Stratford4 (?). Apparently Jonah is a pal of my brother in Phoenix. Anyway, it was a good show, you should enjoy it.
