Ooo… so, if you’re in New York on February 26th, you should definitely check this show out — 17th Annual Carnegie Hall Benefit Concert.. Philip Glass, Sigur Ros, Debbie Harry, Ben Harper and Lou Reed are all playing, so I bet it will be a really cool show. That’s the Monday after my birthday weekend here in SF, so.. hmm.. maybe if I can somehow hop on the redeye Sunday night, I can make it, but I don’t think it’s in the cards, unfortunately… poop. But anyway, NYC peeps, go check it out.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Philip Glass lately, in particular, his Tirol Concerto (mp3 sample). So good. Also been really into Explosions in the Sky — a post-rock group out of Austin, Texas.. The track “Your Hand in Mine” (mp3) is rock solid. I actually was turned onto them due to my recent fascination with the show Friday Night Lights — whose fascination, in part, is due to my unexplainable fascination with West Texas, in which it’s set. Anyway, EitS has a new CD coming out on the 20th, which I’m looking forward to, and then is coming here to SF on May 1st, which I have yet to get tickets for. (hmm. crap, they’re already sold out online, I guess I’ll go to Slim’s and get tix. grr.)

Hmmm… I suppose I’ve been in a decidely mellow mood lately with my music tastes. Uh.. Hmmm. Yah.. so here’s a nice little electro track from Simian Mobile Disco to liven things up a bit.. It’s charmingly titled: Tit’s & Acid. And if you like that, def check out their video “Hustler”.. Yah, hottt.
