RIP Jeff Healy, a GNYC/Eyeball records show and NIN

Just a real quick blog post for today. I just read that blind guitarist Jeff Healy passed away from cancer that plagued him ever since he was a kid and was the reason he was blind. He was 41. You've got to admit what he accomplished is really incredible. What's sad is that to some people he'll be forever known as that guy who sang that song that was played at every school dance and wedding in the early 90's "Angel Eyes". And to others he'll be known as Cody the blind musician in that Patrick Swazye film masterpiece "Road House" and not the proper musician he was. RIP Jeff Healy!

For all you NYC area music fans or those who will be in NYC this up and coming Tuesday 3/4/08 there is a GNYC/Eyeball Records showcase show at Crash Mansion. Among those on the bill are Kiss Kiss who played the MEANY Fest '07 finals show as special guests. The schedule is below and it's a ten dollar cover charge. Crash Mansion is located at 199 Bowery at Spring in Manhattan. The fun starts at 7:30 and it's a night that is not to be missed!

8:00 - Sleep Station
9:00 - Tiger Lou
10:00 - Baumer
11:00 - Kiss Kiss

I've been trying to download the latest Nine Inch Nails album "Ghosts i-iv" but I've been having some issues downloading it... something to do with a zip file! Since I'm technologically retarded and I don't what a zip file is and how to make my computer accept it...if anyone can help me with this zip file thing and to download the new NIN album properly that would be appreciated!

And one last thought for the day that Moldy Peaches song from "Juno" "Anyone else but you"...has the same melody as "The Macarena" anyone else notice that??
