I think a lot of folks had that same reaction. As the promos for NBC’s 30 Rock played this past week, there was that feeling of familiarity. When I checked my email this morning, my friend Kim Ware of Eskimo Kiss Records filled me in.

Las Vandelays @ Elysian Cafe

The Elysian Cafe in Hoboken has a most interesting, new-age-like feel to it's decor. White sculpted walls with blue neon lights shining upwards contrasted by the orange of the glass and metal chandeliers.

During a recent showcase at The Goldhawk in Hoboken, folks were treated to an impromptu reworking of the song into an acoustic piece.

Daniel Knepp Memorial Benefit
Rockin' for a cause at Maxwell's
A very decent crowd for a cold Sunday night at Maxwell's. Especially with it being last day of a long holiday weekend. Considering the reason for the show—as well as the performers—I cannot say I'm all that surprised.

A night of great music for a great cause
The Coffin Daggers, Billy Pilgrim (or whatever they decide to call themselves) and WJ and the Sweet Sacrifice. Sorry, I was too late to get any pictures of comedienne Melissa Surach.
