Music to my ears.

Oh hello.

I know I've been away for a minute but it's for quite the valid reason. Again, I've been exploring the playground known as my neighborhood and am trying to store up lots of yummy stories to share with you boys and girls.

With that being said, I've gone back to my roots and begun to attend my fair share of musical events otherwise known as 'concerts.' A couple of weeks ago, I joined PS in a glorious Saturday of puddle and concert hopping alike. The L Magazine hosted the 'Northside Festival' giving local musicians, restaurants and boutiques a platform to spotlight their many talents. Between a delicious Croque Monsieur and a plethora of taco consumption, we enjoyed the tunes of Darlings and Drink Up Buttercup. See the full line up here (http://www.northsidefestival.com/schedule/) and be a little jealous that I was there and you weren't.

The following weekend (last Friday), I attended the Secret Machines show at Santos Party House. Knowing Santos is infamous for its sound system, I was oh so eager to hear one of my favs play at a better venue than the Annex, which was at best a defunct performance. The trio more than made up for it expanding on their already lengthy serenades from their newest album 'Atomic Heels.'

I feel jazzy just re-capping it.
