Aside from sweating it out in the recent heatwave that has been oppressing citizens of the NorthEast, I've seen a few notable live music shows over the past few weeks.

A friend of mine was able to scoop up some spare tickets to see The Eagles perform in NJ at one of the big arenas (I think that the Devils are using the Prudential Center as their home rink).  I  will admit that those old guys can still play! However, their live performance didn't really stir up any energy in me, and another friend who came with us actually fell asleep during the second half of their set. Personally, I'd rather watch a young band jumping around on stage than see a "heritage" act sit through some classic tunes. (You probably gathered that already based upon the type of music that I release through Endless Recordings)

On the other side of the musical spectrum, I was very happy to be able to finally catch  a U.K. retro-soul/funk/DJ-type, named Jamie Lidell, create his very impressive sounds  in the live setting. With a 4-piece band in tow, he ran through songs that sounded straight out of 1964 but with the freshness, and creativity of today. Live video programming that was projected on stage really put his performance over the top.

In other news, I am thinking of a beach destination, and am open for suggestions: Puerto Rico, SoCal, South America? Let me know!
