Well, I went to last night’s Lucinda Williams concert in Boston with the Mrs — had a fantastic dinner at Longhorn — the last time I went it was pretty bad but we gave them a second chance and glad we did — it was $72 with tip but we got an appetizer and dessert and had Mojitos, very enjoyable.
The seats at the concert were great but this was probably one of her worst concerts I’ve seen. It was very disappointing. Most of you probably know Lucinda Williams about as much as you know what a 4-4-2 is in soccer, but she penned the song “Passionate Kisses” which was a hit for (EDIT: Mary Chapin Carpenter — thanks Erik for the correction) and has a great voice — kinda like an alt/folk/country kinda thing. This is the first concert I’ve been really disappointed with, then again it’s happened with U2 as well…wish I could go to the Police at Fenway over the weekend but at $235 a ticket I’ll pass.
In other news, this week’s “This Week In Downloads” is now online which you can check out by clicking here.
I haven’t spent much time with Heavenly Sword yet, mainly because some hardass wants reviews of APF and NCAA for the PS3 yesterday. 
I do hope to get some game playing in this weekend though.

“Passionate Kisses” was a hit for Mary Chapin Carpenter, not ms. lang.
Sorry to hear Lucinda was having an off night. I’ve heard glowing reports form other shows on this tour.

You are correct, sir! I have updated the blog. This is what happens when you are tired.
Hey after being to 8 of her concerts it was due. It was over very quick (ended at 10:40 including the encore) and did very little from West — did do stuff from Car Wheels and even earlier than that.
I will say you never know what you are going to get when you go to her shows, and I like and respect that.
She did a new song called Honeybee which was rocking, but the lyrics need work. Loved the music though..

We have deadlines? Must be a staff thing.
