echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
i think this has been the craziest year for concerts i have ever had - maybe i’m just more aware because i’ve cataloged it thoroughly. i’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of bands in the past (particularly for when i worked at soma and house of blues 2004-2007) that i’ve lost track and don’t remember some of the shows until the band is brought up in conversation.
a lot of people enjoyed my best of 2009 concerts list but i am worried that arranging one this year is going to be impossible.
