Housekeeping With Amon Tobin

My head is frazzled.

I've just been cleaning for an hour or so listening to Amon Tobin on my personal CD player in a bid to try and keep my brain at least as occupied as it is when it is playing on the internet.
And damn, my brain is buzzing.

That's some music that is.

Speaking of music, and the considerable someness thereof, there is an important event coming up in the New York calendar.

Tomorrow night, at The C Note, the simply fabulous The Shivs are playing.

The bar is here, entrance is free, and the kids are on at 7pm, so it's the perfect way to kick-start one hell of an evening's festivities for the Feast of St. Patrick. A lack of snakes at the bar is practically guaranteed for exactly this purpose.

If you haven't already been over to have a prod around at theshivs.com, I'd recommend it. I know we bloggers are a loose community, but we have our regular reads, so you might like to know that the lead in The Shivs is none other than Shivery Timbers, ably assisted by DJRaindog in addition to the non-blogging musical titans that are Dom and Ben. Their site was even designed and the photos taken by none other than Jason, and the design is a cut above. It's awe-inspiring to see the effort, style and verve that these guys have come up with when they're really going for it, and believe me, the music is even better.

At the risk of sounding cliched (which no one wants), check it out.

And to be honest, I have no idea about the lack of snakes. I was on a roll, it seemed the right thing to say. If you happen to have a vial of antivenom knocking about the place, you know, feel free to bring some. You might not need it, but hey, it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?

Happy St. Patrick's Day, world.
