OK, so it takes me a while.
I finally remembered to get around to downloading the latest Death Cab and Incubus releases, "Codes and Keys" and "If Not Now, When?", respectively. Almost done listening to DCFC and loving it, although nothing is as incredible as "I Will Possess Your Heart".
Incubus is next. I wasn't thrilled with the last one, but I previewed this one and liked it. I suspect that I'll still prefer the "old" Incubus stuff. "Wish You Were Here" and "Drive" still make me cry, and most of the tracks on "S.C.I.E.N.C.E." are brilliant.
DCFC will be here on August 6, and Incubus on August 31, both at Stage AE. I still fondly recall when Nancy and I went to see Incubus in Baltimore a few years ago, and the security people at the gate assumed that we were escorting kids. "No, we're here to SEE THE BAND!" The world's oldest groupies, I guess. Then there was the nice suburban family who were sitting in front of us in all their preppy finery...the wife turned around and said to us, "Oh, I just love them - they're sooooo spiritual." WTF?!
Time for some concerts, although I think Rammstein spoiled me back in May.
