There is a lot of bad things in the world. We should never ignore that fact, but I also believe it is important not to let those bad things define our lives. One can be aware and engaged and still be able to see the beauty in the moment. For me, music has always been a way to stay grounded in the moment and even to temporarily escape from the sometimes harsh realities of the world. So, while I am trying to stay aware of what is going on right now, and I am sending thoughts of peace out into the universe - I am also grateful for the music that makes my life better.
Last night, a great non-Americana/country/folk kind of night at The 5 Spot - with alternative/post punk/new wave night with Slark Moan and Palm Ghosts playing the Swill TV show early, and Slump Test, Bad Bad Cats, and Ghost Town Remedy playing punk music at the Decline of Southern Civilization with Shakes opening with a comedy routine and a great DJ spinning punk songs.
