Matahari, Chinese Man, Jolly Joker and Magma Hotel . . . hopefully, you’ve all enjoyed my Prague series.   I saw Static of the Gods at the Silverlake Lounge.  The lead singer has a voice from the heavens.  I’m not sure there is a Myspace or Facebook page for Boxcar Drifters, but since the lead singer used to front Present Tense I figured I’d note one of the songs from that former band.  The Cigarette Bums took over the Blue Star, totally great set.  And the Dollyrots recently had their CD release party.  SO MUCH FUN.

I just started up a twitter account.  Feel free to add me at www.twitter.com/notesfromvivace.
