No Beaks: The End?

Tranquilize

Rarely do  I ever enter into the realm of music critiquing...  However, is anyone else looking forward to the new Killers album that is dropping today?

With the extra money I have these days after quitting smoking, I am buying more and more music from iTunes.  Recently, I came across the Killers because Domb was always talking about them.  Bought a few songs and the new single Tranquilize with Lou Reed singing.  I really like it! 

Anyway...  you could pre-order the album from iTunes which comes out today.  I'm not sure how that works or why you could pre-order it.  I'm kind of new to the iPod/Tunes thing...  Will the price go up since I didn't pre-order it?

I'm going to buy it irregardless...

If that isn't a ringing endorsement...  I don't know what is!

Remembering

I'd like to take this time to remember a music legend...  Robert Goulet who succumbed yesterday to lung disease. 

Besides his wonderful crooning, he is also remembered for being the inspiration for this Will Ferrell SNL bit:

RIP Goulet...  RIP.

BNL or BL... you decide

Took in the Barenaked (which we must remind you is ONE word) Ladies last night at the Charter One Pavilion on Northerly Island, which is one hell of a venue.  You can see it has a wonderful view of the city from the picture.

The Squad, Good Doc, KBaas and I all convened at the Billy Goat in honor of the Rooster where we discussed the days news.  In fact, a bit of a cosmotology or meterology, depending on how many beers the Squad has had, broke out.  At one point, I on the Northside experienced a simple shower, wile KBaas downtown was in the sunshine, the Good Doc on the Southside was traveling in a downpour and the Squad was out West in a thunderstorm.  Needless to say, it ended up raining at the concert, bad.  But it cleared up right when BNL went on stage, good!

As for the concert...  they played some classics:  Apartment, Brian Wilson and If I Had a Million Dollars.  They also put on quite a show for the fans.  For a first timer like myself...  I'd give it a 3 beaks, where the music was lacking, the entertainment was there!

That's all folks!
