The night's location? The Vic in Chicago, IL. I'd never been to the Vic before, but I could tell from the pics online that the place was tiny. I still wasn't prepared for exacly how small it was though. The main part of the floor is separated from a slightly elevated seating area (couches, etc.) by a brass rail. Between the brass rail and the front of the stage exists an area that might span 20 feet. The whole of the floor would easily fit into the area of my living ... MORE
I'm a fan of the Kaiser Chiefs, and I'm currently consuming their album Employment. It is getting a lot of play time with me because the video "Oh My God", covered by Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen, is currently being overplayed (in my opinion) in the UK. Backlash! I am so in love with the original, and I wanted to share them both for you. Please note - the 5 guys entering the "club" are the Kaiser Chiefs. Their appearance seems to represent a kind of nod t...

I tired drumming for the first time yesterday, it went very well...
May I heartily recommend the Kaiser Chiefs for drumming practise, especially 'I was born to be a Dancer' :-)

Sorry if you hate the movie reference but I'm trying to describe that satisfaction of introducing someone to something that you love, a song or artist that you can't wait to share. The look on my daughter's face when I load new songs on her MP3 or when we head out in the car and my husband says "Who is this singing?" There's got to be a major dose of seratonin sent to the brain from that "Don't you just love this song?!?" feeling. Does that make MOGgers some of the happie... MORE
During house cleaning I discovered that somehow I possess two copies of Employment by Kaiser Chiefs. I have no idea how this has come to be; I'm not even a huge fan. All I can say is that however it happened, it must have been legal. The principle that there can be too much of a good thing tells me to get rid of the extra copy. I'd like to donate it to one of my trusted moggers who help my bouts of procrastination with their smart and interesting posts. It would be an une... MORE
The Kaiser Chiefs are coming to the US but they're bringing the NME with them. Oh well. N. American dates finally confirmed including a SXSW showcase spot. God, I hope I can get in.

OK...maybe I am not psychic...but I have lived in Columbus, OH long enough to know that when Ohio State beat Texas on Saturday night there would be rioting! I was not dissapointed....reports of over 40 fires and hundreds of arrests....when frat boys start drinking at 9AM, only bad things can follow!!
