I had the bestest evening going to The Birchmere in Alexandria to see The Roches, whose harmonies were just fabulous to hear live. Suzzy's stories are very amusing, as you would expect, very much in a Tommy Smothers sort of style. Highlights were their rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus, Want Not, Anyway (one of their new ones), and their last encore which I didn't know the title of Yakketty-Yak, maybe?--very fun.
It's been several years since I've gone to the Birchmere--they were in a smaller place then, but it's still a wonderfully relaxing venue for a concert since you get to sit at tables and have food and drink brought to you during the concert--a proper hobbity way to enjoy music. I was so glad to get in as I wasn't able to get an advanced ticket.
And I found at their shop that Kate Bush's new cd is out that I've been looking forward to--I nabbed the only copy there. So woooot! And I also bought a cd of Steeleye Span's--who I saw many years ago in Chapel Hill--I only have one other of their albums on cd. So a veeeery musically satisfying evening for me--first I've had in a long time.
And sometime this weekend I'll go to see Narnia--I know Tilda Swinton is going to be wonderful, and many of you, my flist-mates, are raving about the film already, so I'm looking forward to it--what a treatful weekend!
In other news, fafblog is wonderful as ever with a fine explanation of Bushonomics.

Which CD did you buy? I have lots of Steeleye Span on vinyl - but I'm in the process of trying to convert most of my vinyl to CD. It's no eary task, and will likely never be completed (I do not expect to ever find, for instance, a CD version of my vinyl album titled Traditional Music of the Shetland Islands by a group called How to Change a flat Tire.)

I got Gone to Australia. I just had Sails of Silver and Allison Gross on vinyl--if I'm remembering the titles correctly. And yeah, I'm currently in the middle of that process too. I've actually been surprised what I have been able to find on cd without even searching very hard yet, especially what's turned up for under $2 at my thrift shop--I scored a copy of Steely Span's Time cd there.
