Sunday Open House: June 13, 2010

I cut one of my typing fingers the other day, so I'll keep this short (like myself)

If you missed out on the action at Bonnaroo this year, you can catch the recap at Muzzle of Bees.

One of the artists I was fortunate enough to catch while staying dry at the Verge Music festival was She & Him, who put on a rousing performance Friday night. I particularly enjoyed M.Ward's rendition of "Roll Over Beethoven", which he rocked. They recently covered the classic tune "Fools Rush In" which you can nab for free here. Admittedly, the only other act I caught the entire weekend at Verge was Cold War Kids, who I stood in the cold rain for for an hour for just to see. We were so cold and wet (and sadly, old) that we left hours before Weezer even took the stage, since it would have been another soggy three hours before their set.

I haven't gotten my hands on the new Tokyo Police Club album yet, but in the meantime, I've really been enjoying this "Wait Up (Boots of Danger) (DOM Remix)" which you can snag here.

There's no way I would have found this track had it not been in my email and mentioned the name of my wife, Felicia. But if for no other reason than that, why don't you head over to Myspace and check out the track "Felicia" from The Constellations. My wife found it...interesting. I doubt we'll be catching their June 26 show at Summerfest, though.

Now, a few other notes...

Caught the Season 3 premiere of True Blood tonight. What a great show, although I felt the Season 3 premiere tonight was a little underwhelming. I'm real interested to see how the werewolves come into play this season. As long as there's no team vampire vs team werewolf like in the Twilight series I'll be happy. What did you think of the premiere?

The other night I found myself captivated by the shows Mall Cops: Mall of America and Police Women of Memphis. Not sure what point in my life I've reached to find shows like that satisfying, but hey, might as well embrace it.



Germany had a strong performance in their first World Cup game today, dominating the Aussies, which was nice to see. Was a little worried how well they would play without Ballack but they didn't seem to miss him. After the United States, they are my favorite team in the tournament.
