Eat some pie Anna Mae!

Sharon Jones is pretty cool.

The Dap Kings are pretty cool.

The Dap Tone record label is pretty cool.

I had the excellent pleasure of seeing Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings tonight. They were great. That makes a perfect 5 for 5 for legit shows I've seen since arriving in Portland.

She's like a cross between James Brown and Tina Turner, plus her band rocks. Totally worth the price of admission.

Some dude behind me said to his lady friend: "that's like James Brown or some shit" and his lady friend said " Yeah......but like.......that's a girl though."

Not Funny? Maybe you had to be there. But I laughed.

Soul and funk music appears to have some sort of revival going on. I think it's great. Check out any of the stuff off of DapTone. Even Stones Throw could turn you on to some cool stuff.

I'm a little drunk. I'm gonna go burn and play Halo.

YOu should only blog when your drunk...It relaxes your brain sphincter and lets you explore the depths of your subconscious chipotle sauce.
