The Damien Rice show was pretty good, however it was different than what I expected. His CD is mellow and full of solo singer songwriter type songs. I figured that this would be how the show was as well. I’ve even heard people complain about the radio version of Cannonball (his single), since it has drums and other instrumentation. All of these expectations were shot down from the start though. He plays with a drummer, bass, cello, and sometimes keys, electric guitar, etc. Distortion is another thing that was really shocking to hear. He even has 2 mics, the first is normal, but the second is a totally distorted mic that he often yells into. This gave the show an almost Radiohead like feel. Some songs had the mellow feel that I was expecting, but more than half were the other songs that I wasn’t expecting. Much more rockin’ that what I was thinking it would be, but still a good show. Hopefully I’ll get another chance to see him…

I forgot to mention before, but the gap coverage for my car came through. I don’t owe anything more on the loan, and to make it even better the gap coverage was for more than needed. Just over $500 was put into my saving account at the credit union. Kim is making me keep it there for now, I was thinking I would just gamble it all. :b

I may be going to Cincinnati the weekend of May 14 & 15. Kim is going to be working in Cincy the week before, so I’m considering flying out for the weekend. I’m sure it would be a good one, especially since it is Jammin’ On Main weekend! I’ll let you all know…
