Dining Room Voodoo

Consulting a pencil and string for answers concerning how many kids one will have. That's what was going on in my apartment last night...and no it wasn't a bunch of shrunken head toting witch doctors doing it. It was my wife and her friends. What a world we live in when four giggly dancers resort to dark magic.

There's a respectable amount of activity today. The first show I want to talk about is from a indie musician from Colorado. Details below:

Graywhale Music
Jeremy Ashida
575 E University Pkwy (East Mall Entrance), Orem
7:00 PM--Free

Another mall show will be taking place inside Hot Topic at the Provo Towne Centre. Details Below:

Hot Topic Provo
The Rainman Suite
1200 Towne Centre Blvd, Provo
5:00 PM--Free

These two acts are very different. Ashida is a indie singer songwriter. Musically, he seems to be a bit more adept than The Rainman Suite, but the Suite is a fun (if not generic sounding) Pop Punk band. It really all lies with your personal tastes.

VELOUR VS MUSE

Velour is coming with the K.I.C. (Keeping it Clean) comedy tour. The only thing I could find on this was on Velour's website. It said it was various local comedians (red flag).

Muse is presenting jazz night featuring The Hepcats. Props to Muse for thinking outside the box with some jazz tunes but I can't find anything on these Hepcats...so I can't hardly pimp it. Right? Right?

Due to lack of information from both venues I give the edge to no one and award 0 points. So this weeks score remains Velour 1, Muse 0.

If you're not feeling live music tonight check out the Hale Center Theater. They have a production of Singin in the Rain running until August. The show starts at 7:30 PM and tickets range from $15.50-$17.50. Hale Theater is located at 225 W 400 N in Orem.

About the Song Du Jour: "Cold Shoulder" Adele

I saw this girl perform earlier this year and this was the song she opened with. The energy and jealousy and love and pain and soul packed into this track is absolutely breathtaking. Adele is just one of the many great musicians Britain has produced in the last few years. They get it over there and we so obviously don't. It's like they are just trying harder. Adele rocks...it's that simple.

That's the whole shebang today folks. Another busy day up for tomorrow...see you then!
