Stoked on going to some good shows

What with living in the country and the arrival of our second kid, my wife and I didn't get out to many live shows last year. I saw Killing Time in August, we both saw Sinead O'Connor in October...aaaaand that was it.

This year we're making a point of getting out, and here's what's on the agenda...

January - Ladysmith Black Mambazo
February - Foo Fighters
March - Pogues
March - Starkweather
April - Etta James

(Can you guess which one I'm going to solo?)

Mambazo was on Sunday, but I didn't go. New kid was too sick to leave with a babysitter, so my wife went with her best friend and our three year old.

Better be The Pogues.

why? cause you're afraid i'll make such a drunkin' mess outta myself that my wife will leave me?

ok, that's a valid concern.

Think I may be heading up to Boston for one or 2 of the Darkbuster Hometown Throw Up shows in Febuaury. Saw them in Baltimore an it was awsome so I'm guessing they'll be even better to see in their hometown.
