I've been lurking lately, but I thought I'd pop my head out for a bit
and pipe in on a few things:

********

Mike Viola is in the middle of a 2 month residency at The Living Room
in NYC.  The shows are Monday nights at 9pm, so check mikeviola.com
for the exact dates (there are a few mondays that he isn't playing, so
check the dates first!)

********

IPO NYC is happening and though I haven't gone to any shows, I'm
thinking of stopping by The Baggot Inn tomorrow night to catch a few
sets before going to Mike Viola's show.  Full schedule here:

A few new musical discoveries:

Andrea Echeverri - I liken her to a Spanish Ivy.  Ethereal, dreamy
pop, but with latin rhythms.  Really really good.

The new Eric Matthews album - rekindled my love of his music.

The 88 have their second album out.  It is amazing!  Still got the
same modern day beatles sound, but with more of a Spacehog type feel

Lorenzo Goetz - some people call them a moden beatles sound, and I
don't get that.  They influences range from reggae to indie pop to hip
hop to latin, but it comes together in this really cool way.

*********

And finally, some other cool and in some cases new music can also be
heard on my podcast.  Episode #3 is available at stacyinthecity.com
and it features:

Mark Bacino
Jonathan Coulton

the matthew show

So, check it out and tell your friends.

Stacy
