Nyheat - It's a cruise that has now become an annual thing with the Barenaked Ladies. I missed the first one called Ships and Dip. The second one, called Ships and Dip III (they skipped II) was the one I went on, and what a cruise... not your "normal" cruise that's for sure. Next years, Ships and Dip V (they are skipping IV - if you know the Barenaked Ladies this is kind of their style to not do things traditionally) is on February 1st - 6th, 2009 out of Miami... and one I won't miss! Though the bands were mostly Canadian, two bands I'd never heard of Gaelic Storm and Carbon Leaf (both from the States) were incredibly awesome! John Mayer was the cruise that followed this one and apparently he had full security and you couldn't really "mix and mingle" with him (so I heard). The Barenaked Ladies were everywhere. Mostly Ed, but all of the bands were very friendly and approachable. ETA - "The Barenaked Ladies were everywhere" - I know that sounds funny... but you know what I mean LOL

Sounds fun! Wink, you know how I love me some Jon Bon Jovi! I'm listening and watching Sara Evans and Maroon 5 on Crossroads.

Elvis Costello's Greatest Hits. Going to see The Police and him tonight. Even though I like The Police, I've actually always been a bigger fan of Costello. "Alison" is one of my favorite all-time songs. That song can always make me swoon. <Sigh>

Nysheat rofl at the bleating goat. I went and listened and I really like them even tho my tastes run more to acoustic. I googled them and noticed they've played at a lot of the same places the Brood boys have.

Me too Kc...it's also my real name! Elvis C. is one of the greats. Glad you gave them a listen, Wink. It's one of those inexplicable whims of good music, when off-pitch vocals sound awesome! I also like a lot of the bands listed on your sons mySpace as touring buddies; I am very impressed with the Canadian music scene. I got a new 'puter and have my audio back--am obviously enjoying myself

Oh Nyheat, when Elvis sang "Alison" near the end of his set...Sting came out and joined him on it. Pure heaven!

That is so awesome, Kc. I know just how you feel about missing going to live shows. I miss it too, and have no excuse being in New York. There is plenty free or low cost here--often the best shows are sold out though. I started up my XM membership again. Found this in Chill out-Electronica. Very chill for a Sunday morning. Relax and listen to the tunes... Bahramji featuring Mashti: Indusufi

I'll post these three because I won't have time to youtube around this week. Vampire Weekend...been in my head all day. A-Punk Here's a cute short of Eminem freestyling with Proof; I usually don't like Eminem because of the nasty lyrics about Kim and his mom, but a talented guy nonetheless. Proof and Eminem Freestyle I found a song by Prince that has been in my head since I was 13, not kidding. I found the youtube--the only time it aired was during Live Aid, and is the only acoustic version. Try not to get distracted by Wendy's (or is that Lisa?) sunglasses. 4 the Tears in Your Eyes

Today it rained and rained and rained. So this is what I listened to, rainy day music. Low: Dinosaur Act Silversun Pickups: All the Go In Betweens ps if you like this type of music, the genre is called slowcore.
