Today was officially Friday for me, and a short one at that. I’m leaving tomorrow to visit a friend in Florida for the weekend and will return on Monday afternoon. So if the blogs appear to be slim this weekend, that is why. It’s Mardi Gras weekend down here, and things have been rather quiet [...]

This was one of the best award shows I’ve seen in a long time. I didn’t realize how good of a year 2006 actually was for music. 2006 really just seemed to just fly by between Katrina recovery and my first year of grad school. But after tonight’s show, I see that it was [...]
