So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Are You Mad?
We said we had tickets for Beirut. "Are you mad?" they asked No, we meant Beirut the band. We went, we saw, we loved. At times the sound went a bit awry. I guess the sound engineer is used to guitars and the like. There were moments when the feedback from the brass was sore on the ears, but overall they were magnificent. Its refreshing to see a bunch of young folks doing something as fresh and as exiciting as this. I just love the whole sound the whole ambience and young Zach Condon's voice. The Arches is an excellent venue to boot, we had a fabulous dinner in the upstairs cafe before the gig and an excellent vantage point for the show. thewife even had a personal cooling vent above her which helped enormously with her age related tropical moments. If you missed them, you can get a feel of them here.
All this and a holiday in Lanzarote in a week. Yowzah, Yowzah Yowzah!
