C'est chaud

Next week is concert week, so I should probably blog about that.


Jay Brannan (7/16/08 at Highline Ballroom in NYC)


I first saw him in John Cameron Mitchells "Shortbus" playing Ceth. I usually don't like too much acoustic music, but he is definately a wonderful singer. His lyrics are real, and he has something many people do not: talent. Not to mention he is easy on the eyes.

Chris Garneau (7/18/08 at Joe's Pub in NYC)





I am in love with this man. He is by far the saddest person I have ever heard. He is an openly gay singer who barely gets above a whisper on each song. I am so excited for this concert, the videos I have seen of him live are fantastic. Not to mention he speaks french which gives him a lot of points in my book.

Santogold (7/20/08 Central Park in NYC)



This is more my usual pace. Every blog in the internetz has talked about Santogold, so I am pretty late in the game. I first saw her at M.I.A.'s show in Philly last december, and she blew the crowd away. I have never seen an artist mix so many elements together. Her cd "Santogold" has about 9 different genres of music on it.  Her voice is real clashy and her beats will make you either want to dance A LOT or relax A LOT.  Her concert is free, and she is playing with DIPLO, another of my favorites.  Elle est un fille pour mon coeur. Yes yes yes.

Pictures of the concerts will be uploaded the day after each of them.  (as long as I am not dead, drunk, dizzy, working, lost, lazy, or any combination of those)
