Continuing our Diary of a… series. Inspired by Harvard FML.
October 3, 2009: Damn it. My roommate came back while I was in the shower again. Singing. Loudly. No, I’m not in any of the a capella groups. WHY THE EFF IS PARTY IN THE U.S.A. SO DAMN CATCHY.

Wasn’t even a girl, couldn’t have played it off as the sensitive guy moment—like yes I do understand your soul and I would never be responsible for the teardrops on your guitar. It was some guy on the football team. He could take me with his pinky. He could take me out in one pinky slash.
Thanks Taylor Swift. At least my death will be swift.
October 23, 2009: On my run today “Nobody’s Perfect,” came on and I got caught at a light and couldn’t cross—and not realizing how loud it was playing and how much I was bobbing my head, a little girl, about the age of 12….yeah definitely 12, laughed at me.

Sad you missed Girl Talk last night? You probably should be. It was probably great. This blogger is a little disappointed himself for skipping it.
But don’t stay sad for long. November is full of great music in the city. Click on the date for ticket info, the band name for band website, and the venue name for venue website.
Beautiful Grace Potter will be rocking the House of Blues on 11/19.
11/3: Monsters of Folk, Orpheum Theatre:
This supergroup is made up of Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes), M. Ward, and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James. Those three have been doing the occasional show or recording together for years, but finally have an album out and an official tour.
11/4: Ray LaMontagne, Citi Performing Arts Center:
This raspy singer-songwriter from Maine is probably best known for his single, “You Are the Best Thing.”
11/5 & 11/6: Lotus, Paradise Rock Club:
Lotus is a quntessential jamtronica band, meaning that they fuse live instrumental jam rock with the sounds of dance and electronica. This show is sure to be a party.
11/7: Girls, Great Scott:
This Pitchfork darling will warm up this dark, intimate bar with its fresh sounds from San Francisco. Read the rest of this entry »
