neon trees

i'm sitting here, freshly home from florida and an excruciating trip to disney with the children. if they didn't love it, it would have been a total disaster, but since they had such a great time, it was all worth it. but now, i'm home and spending alil alone time on the couch with my pup and watching conan, and the neon trees performed. i don't have anything against them. when they come on the radio i don't immediately change the station. they have a reasonably good sound, proficient song writing with good hooks, but I was surprised to see them. I don't really know what I was expecting, but they have a total throwback 80's style. their stage presence was superb. they won't make my ipod, but a fun band all in all

what to listen to tonight

Well, Christmas is over. All of the hard work and anticipation led up to a very brief whirlwind of wrapping paper, crying and drunk relatives, and now it's the day after and there is a blizzard. I have a fire in the fireplace, Monk and Coltrane at Carnegie Hall on the turntable and bourbon on the rocks in my glass. I think that all in all, the holiday was a great success but I'm relieved that it's over and done with, now it's on to new years, and the ringing in of 2011 which can only be better than 2010. I'll toast in the new year dreaming of what music will be exciting me at this time next year.

ipad

I have been so concerned about the fact that I couldn't just post to my blog from my ipad. not that it was that big of a deal getting on the computer to do anything, but it was frustrating that the convenience of the ipad was not translating to things like my blog. However, today i got a keyboard dock for the ipad, which I love and am so happy about, so I looked into a way to be able to post from my ipad. i will let you know what i think of this app.
