I: A challenge..
Well, that was a very long and unintentional hiatus from blogging... Filled with travels to Ireland and beyond, all-too-short time spent with friends, some FFOs (finally finished objects), and other work-in-progress. Lots to blog about then! So my challenge for the next week is to post every day. Can I do it?
I'll start with an easy one...tonight two great friends treated us to Midsummer Night Swing at the Lincoln Center. The music was great, and the dancing unbelievably impressive... And in the insufferable New York summer heat, the fountain at the Lincoln Center seemed like the best spot in the entire city.

Roderigo y Gabriella
Simon used to go see them every Wednesday Monday in the pub around the corner across the road. Last night we saw them at a packed Radio City Music Hall. They were amazing, of course!
[Update 5/1/10]: Edited to correct factual errors regarding the day and location that Simon used to go see Roderigo y Gabriella in Rathmines. Also, I forgot to mention that we were very lucky to have received guest list tickets for the gig - big thanks to Kris and Emma! I've never been on a guest list before and it was very special - we were practically in the front row! I hope we can return the favour sometime.

Yeasayer
On Tuesday night we went to see Yeasayer in the Music Hall of Williamsburg.
They were simply amazing.
I've been listening to Yeasayer for about 2-3 years now - ever since our friend Ian introduced us to their first album (All Hour Cymbals), and we saw them open at Central Park Summerstage, for The National, another favorite.
If you were to give me their new album, Odd Blood, and it was the first that I had ever heard of the band, I don't know if I would like it... In fact, I don't think I liked their first album the first time I heard it. But, given time - a couple of listens - their brilliance becomes clear: the complex layering of instruments and effects, the unique voices and harmonies, the opaque, mind-bending lyrics. There's just nothing else like them at the moment.
I think of them as being carrolesque, if that makes sense... which brings me to something else I am very, very excited about...
Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum? Pure genius!
