The Mighty Mozzer turns 48 today.

[MP3] Morrissey | You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side

[MP3] Morrissey | That's Entertainment

Also tonight is the NBA Draft Lottery (looking at this just makes me shudder) and the *sniff* series finale of Veronica Best. I'll be DVRing the latter, however, as I'll be at the Rock n' Roll Hotel taking in locals Le Loup (just signed to Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art) and The Rosebuds.

Also, let me be the latest person to congratulate D.C.'s own Georgie James for signing with Saddle Creek Records. That's huge! New record later this year. Can't wait!

I get all jump-up-and-down happy whenever I think about the very real chance of doing this in two months. I just hope that he 1) keeps "Disappointed" and "National Front Disco" in the set and that he 2) doesn't play either of them in the first three songs of the set because I would rather not be working when I spontaneously combust with joy.

Yes, I am filled with anticipation, and it is most delicious.

PS - the new slideshow interface on Flickr is pretty cool, but it's running real slow for me so far.

PPS - I just realized he played "You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side" last night. Holy Fucking Shit.

Spaced on the Baltimore pre-sale. Anyone have any luck?

Looks like I have to try again on Saturday.

PS - Tickets are $65! Jeezy Creezy.

W00t!

Consider me jump-up-and-down happy.

I see at least a NYC->Vienna->Baltimore road trip in my future. Grambo, get ready.

Here's a photo of me meeting the Mozzer.

Full details won't be released until next week, but since Morrissey's US tour starts in California on April 27th, it looks like I won't be in danger of missing him while I'm in Europe April 24-May 5. Whew! This means I can drink German beer and eat Danish pastries without having this on my conscience. Best.

I am missing the Arcade Fire show, but I can live with that. I bet they'll play Lollapalooza this year and I can see them there.
