tunes to live by

so i was checking e-mail and doing my usual late night surfing around the web, checking out what was going on, with the plan being to screw around for a while then write a blog and hit the sack (still feeling a bit under the weather - it's some sore throat thing - ugh). so i'm reading my friend jens site, then cruise over to pitchfork, which is the most kick-ass site for music on the web, then over to patio pundit, and then cruised over to my friend willows site. i was going to write my blog about this band, 'the black keys,' that i've been groovin' to in a big way, and was pscyched to see that she had written a blog about it too!! i worked with willo briefly while freelancing for a company she works for, and we quickly discovered very similiar music tastes - it's always great to make new friends who are diggin' the same tunes you are!!

so anyway, the point of the story is, check out 'the black keys' - they are rockin' my world now - very bluesy and chill and hard at the same time.

well, i must get to bed and try to battle off this throat thing - i'm going to the giants game tomorrow and saturday, have plans to grab some drinks with a few folks at my local watering hole, the route 101, saturday night, then sunday is a party for my cousin in the afternoon and a show sunday night - whew - a lot to - must get better!!!!

on a side note, i was checking google a link to the route 101 bar, and the first thing that came up was info on the awesome mural that graces the back wall. what i didn't realize was that it was by a woman named gradiva who i used to work with at the same placed i worked at with willo - what a small world, actually, what a small city - i love it!!!
