Keane At The Paramount!

My latest band du jour is U.K. based Keane. I just found out this morning that they will be playing at the Paramount Theater in Downtown Seattle on Tuesday, January 30th. 2004's Hopes and Fears is one of my top 5 all time favorite albums and the show should be excellent, especially at the Paramount.

Tickets are $30 (not including the lame ticketmaster fees and can be purchased here. See you there!

Here are some of my favorite songs of theirs:

Everybody's Changing:

Somewhere Only We Know (you might have heard this on Gray's Anatomy):

And my absolute favorite, This Is The Last Time:

One of Those Days

4:12 AM: Sally wakes us up vomiting large amounts of blood all over the bed

4:51 AM: I try to go back to sleep but abandon the idea at 5:25 and got in the shower

6:10 AM: Arrive at work and find my new cube is not to my liking. It's fine and all but the location on the floor bugs me.

8:00 AM: Paid close to $10,000 to settle the medical bills from the pneumonia I had in 2005 (I had insurance but they claimed this was a pre-existing condition so they sued me. This was a settlement for quite a bit less than they had originally wanted).

11:30 AM: Go to Fred Meyer to get some headphones for work and take out $100 cash back at the self serve register to pay a friend back for concert tickets. I walked off without the cash.

1:31 PM: I write this post.

Nothing really that unusual, but for some reason, I have this nagging anxiety that I cannot pin to anything. I just feel really uneasy. About everything.

Reminds me of a line from Keane's Everybody's Changing:

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

This too shall pass, however.

Updates will be slow as the usual fall storms bring power outages to Fall City once again. I also had some problems upgrading my LAN to gigabit ethernet (100 mbps wasn't cutting it anymore- seriously) which required me to do some significant recabling and the installation of two new switches and one router.
