October was sort of a blur for me, really. I spent a large portion of the month listening to nothing but Andrew Bird. This isn't a bad thing, it's just a thing, because Andrew Bird's music makes everything better. Guess that tells you the kind of month that I had. Here's a little mix of what I was listening to this past month, including Mr. Bird.

This is basically the worst week in the world for concerts. And by worst, I mean full of too many choices. I'll be at the Brandi Carlile show at SPACE on Wednesday, and at DeVotchKa at Lincoln Hall on Saturday. The rest of the week is up in the air. I'll probably be sobbing under my desk rather than making any real decisions.
