Happy Monday, all! I had great plans for getting some album reviews written up over the weekend, but instead I spent my time feeling miserable and sick and sleeping on the couch while watching Dirty Jobs reruns. What a life.
It’s a pretty low-key week for music here. If you’ve got the time on Sunday, go check out Chris O’Brien and David Berkeley at Uncommon Ground. I’m not too familar with O’Brien’s music, but I’m a fan of David Berkeley, who reminds me of Damien Rice vocally. If I can ever string together useful sentences again (thanks, cold medications), I’ll have a review of Berkeley’s latest album, Strange Light, up this week.
