Another distraction:

Last year, I bought tickets for my dear friend Jared and me to go see Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. I admit I was not very familiar with him, but I was completely blown away by his last cd and concert. In fact, I believe that is the most moving show I have ever seen. Brilliant musicians all of them. I was so impressed that I told my girlfriend, who was visiting a friend in Seattle that if at all possible she should change her flight home- get tickets for Nick Cave and get a flight out the next day.
She did, and was grateful.

Listening to Nocturama I wish I could transport myself back to that seat in the concert hall with my friend beside me.
