That Was The Week Of July 28th, 2014, That Was

Hip Pip

Live: It is not every day a live performance changes instantaneously from a non believer to a fan, and it is not that I think Hurray For The Riff Raff were actually that great, they weren’t bad but not that great, but the songs revealed their stickiness and suddenly you could hear just how strong the riffs in the riff raff were. Blake Shelton was a blast.

Recorded: Not a great week, though both Eric Clapton and Jenny Lewis were better than predicted.

Sports: Will the New York Yankees please win more games or what?

International Politics: Long after you and I are dead, they will still be killing each other over Jerusalem.

Movies: I was disappointed in “Get On Up”… except for the musical sides.

Next week: I am looking forward to the Modest Mouse – Brand New gig at Forest Hills Stadium, not least because it is all of three stops away from where I  live. The new Spoon is really great buy the way.
