Colors

I’ve posted my December mix online for CDMOM. If you are interested in downloading it, leave a comment and I’ll send you the info. I had the mix done a couple of weeks ago but I didn’t have a cover design in mind. I finally settled on a picture I took of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center last year while I was temping at Health magazine.

Well, I don’t have any Ryan Adams shirts to drape Sienna in so this ticket will have to do. I went with Joy to the show last night. First we met up at Mandoo, a yummy Korean dumpling place. The kimchi dumplings were fantastic!! We were pigs, besides the kimchi dumplings, we also got the pork and vegatable mandoos and bibimbob. And I was burping it up all night during the show but Joy didn’t smell it. HA.

Out of the many times I’ve seen Ryan, I have to say this isn’t one of my favorites. True that he played for close to 3 hours with a 20 minute break in between and no opener but it was too mellow for me. There was energy but not the energy I was looking for in a show. He went from one song into another and didn’t have any banter in between. He jammed but I just wasn’t feeling it. I was a little disappointed. I was waiting for him to rock out! Here is the set list as I got it from Music Slut

[Set 1] Peaceful Valley. Blue Hotel. Mockingbird. Beautiful Sorta. The Rescue Blues. The Sun Also Sets. When The Stars Go Blue. Goodnight Rose. Cold Roses. Freeway To The Canyon. Off Broadway. Please Do Not Let Me Go. [Set 2] Bartering Lines. A Kiss Before I Go. The End. Dear John. Nightbirds. Wild Flowers. Shakedown On 9th Street. Everybody Knows. Why Do They Leave. Two. Halloween Head. Goodnight Hollywood Blvd. I See Monsters. [Encore] Let It Ride. Down In A Hole. What Sin Replaces Love.

Me and Joy left during the last song of the encore. My feet hurt!

Crash into my arms

I went to see Morrissey last night at Hammerstein. I can’t believe I almost didn’t go! Brenda had extra tickets so me, Robyn, Alison, Francis and his wife snatched them up. I met Alison and Robyn earlier for dinner at The Dish in Chelsea and then got to the venue a little after 8. I didn’t care much for the opener, Kristeen Young. Moz came on at 9 and played for an hour and 40 minutes!! Here’s the setlist I got via brooklynvegan:

Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before
Billy Budd
All You Need Is Me
Irish Blood, English Heart
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Human Being
I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris
Tomorrow
That’s How People Grow Up
Jack The Ripper
One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
The Loop
Sister, I’m A Poet
Stretch Out And Wait
The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores
Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
Why Don’t You Find Out For Yourself?
Death Of A Disco Dancer
Disappointed
Dear God, Please Help Me
How Soon Is Now?

Encore:
First Of The Gang To Die

I was so excited that he played Sister I’m a poet and Why Don’t You Find Out For Yourself? 2 of my fave Moz songs. The show was awesome! I didn’t bother trying to sneak a camera in so I thought I’d mark the event by taking a picture of Sienna in my old concert shirts. I wasn’t crazy about the shirts last night plus they were $35!!

Sienna-fest!

We finally got an umbrella stroller and I put it to use last week and went on the subway! woohoo! Those who know me know that riding the subway with Sienna is not my favorite thing. It’s part laziness (all the stuff to bring!) and part anxiousness (what if something happens and it’s just me and her!) But just like driving, the more I do it with her, the easier it will be. And this stroller makes it so easy because it is soooo light!! So we went to meet Diana and Dakota at Union Square last Thursday, had a Thai lunch and hung out in the park.

Sienna likes to reach for things and grab whatever she can get her hands on nowadays, including my necklace, my hair, Yves’ chest hair and glasses. We’re trying to teach her how to pet Skippy. It’s still a work in progress!

Over the weekend, we went into the city (yes, again! Can you believe it?) to Madison Square Park. They were having some kind of autumn celebration for kids. We mostly just hung out on the bench and listened to the kid’s band play.

And check it out! 2 of Yves’ pictures of Kagero made it onto a local magazine website and one on the cover of the actual mag! woohoo! The magazine is called 24 Seven. Click on the featured story “Asian fusion for the ear: Kagero rocks Brooklyn’s Bar 4” to see the other picture.
