Double Whammy of Awesome

 

Accompanied by Mr. Mike last night I bussed over to The Abbey Pub to see the always delightful Calvin Marty and the Sunken Ship, followed by Big Time. Mike enjoyed Calvin as I thought he would but then had to depart as it was a school night. I stuck around for Big Time  - a cover band that can only be described as  Tom Waits sings the eighties. Oh my god it was fantastic..you can see Calvin's pictures here and Big Time's here.

On an unrelated note. You can't even imagine my complete and utter distress when I was watching the telly and getting ready to go out last night when I was assaulted by a Taco Hell commercial featuring not just a Joe Jackson tune (which would be bad enough) but one of my FAVOURITE Joe Jackson songs of all time - "One More Time". All I can say is SHAME ON YOU JOE!! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!  When I met up with Mr. Mike at the Bus stop I was relating my horror, to which he responded that he'd seen it and thought of emailing me but then hoped maybe I just wouldn't see it. Joe is coming to Chicago in April and of course I'll go (I'm gonna try and wrangle a photo pass but that might just be a pipe dream) but I won't deny there will be a small part of me wanting to pelt him with gorditas.
