rosebuds/teenage fanclub

i know, i know--where are all the posts about books? isn't this supposed to be a blog about books??/ well hey, look at the description up in the corner there. note the "local-music-loving" and then perhaps my latest posts will be put into context.

actually, i did start reading a book yesterday, but it turned out to be a series of vignettes (not quite short stories) about all different characters, and dammit i thought it was going to be a novel, so screw that.

the point is to let all six of my dedicated readers know that you should see the rosebuds and teenage fanclub when they come to your town--the rosebuds are playing a ton of new material, which is REALLY good--kelly even sings on one song!! actually, i'm listening to that song now (their new album is also REALLY good!) b/c it is just so awesome. reid from schooner is playing with them now, which makes them rock even harder. go rosebuds!!!

and teenage fanclub was totally adorable and full of poppy toe-tappin' goodness. i may have mentioned my dislike of encores here, but i even stayed to hear theirs (possibly b/c they revealed the whole thing is a pretense, much to my amusement). anyway, this tour looks totally awesome, so don't miss it when it comes to your town!

today i am going to the library (and possibly a used bookstore) in an attempt to find actual novels, so the book blogging should return to full force soon.
