Favorite Quote or Motto:

Well maybe not the best band ever, but I am not afraid to say best band in the past 20 years.   The band, Vampire Weekend.  The reason, find me two albums from the same artist that you can listen to on repeat for two days straight and maybe then that group will top these guys.  After their appearance last weekend on SNL downloaded their latest album.  I am a little late to the party on this one, they have been around for several years and currently selling out show after show around the globe.    They will be at the Riverside Theater on March 23 and the show is sold out.   I am upset I didn’t add them to my itunes library sooner, because I wish I had tickets to the show.   For $9.99 “Contra” is a must buy.
