I'M OFF TO SEE ALICIA KEYS!

UPDATE! oh my goodness...i just got back from attending the church of alicia keys and she totally blew me away! although the bass was a bit overpowering at times - i thought she did an exceptional job - when she was playing piano i was in heaven - she did a few songs w/o the piano but she shines best with her trusty piano at her fingertips - i'm so freakin' glad i decided to go - she's the total real deal! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

hey hey! although i don't really feel like heading out on a monday night - it is 'cinco de mayo' AND alicia keys is playing downtown at staples center - so how could i resist?!? i've been a huge fan of ms. keys for a few years now so it'll be a treat to finally hear & see her play live (plus i have a very decent seat) i'm sure she'll be putting on a kick-ass show (jordin sparks and ne-yo are opening for her) i'll try and update this post with a few quick thoughts when i get home later this evening - popbytes over & out for now...xxoo (btw i have been trying to cut down on my use of exclamation points - i was getting out of control with 'em and they can be kind annoying especially when used all the time)

PORTISHEAD - THIRD

good morning everybody! oh i can't bear today being monday - i had so much fun all weekend long playing grand theft auto 4 (hence the lack of weekend posts) it's an amazing game - i completed a bunch of 'missions' (equaling about 12% of the game) and i'm already looking forward to next weekend for more game time (during the week there's just not enough time - boo hoo!) right now i've got five copies of the brand new portishead album - their third studio release - simply titled third to toss out here on popbytes - the first five people to email me at mk@popbytes.com will win! (please make sure to include your mailing address)

i've loved the 'trip-hop' band from bristol ever since their 1994 debut album dummy - and just a few weeks ago i got to catch them rehearsing for their appearance at this year's coachella music festival (i'm pictured below along with my pal CK) i was totally blown away - lead singer beth gibbons is fucking amazing - her live vocals were absolutely chillingly gorgeous and stunning! you can check out some of the band's new material below - there's three tracks posted for your listening pleasure! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
