Miles Fisher- Live At The Key Club 1/9

Actor/singer/Harvard grad/Tom Cruise lookalike Miles Fisher is playing at The Key Club (is that place still open?) this Saturday, January 9th. I'm expecting some big things from this guy in 2010 after having some mild success last year with his cover of Talking Heads "This Must Be The Place."

Tix are only $10 and can be purchased on Want Tickets site.

This Must Be The Place


Don't Let Go

Vampire Weekend- Contra

Fun new record from everybody's favorite prepsters, Vampire Weekend. Nowhere near as excellent as their self titled 2008 debut, yet some good jams nonetheless.

Come on 2010, you can do better than this, bring me something GREAT!
