Everywhere At Once

Another long pause between posts...my apologies to you faithful readers. Pretty hectic month, with an overload of work and personal obligations, so much in fact that it caused me to miss the Springsteen show near Chicago a few nights ago. Yikes. On the plus side, my daughter graduated with honors from middle school. Bruce will be back.

One of my favorite bands from the 80's has regrouped and played at a Irish pub in Chicago last night (missed that too). The Plimsouls are forever linked to the immortal movie Valley Girl, but the truth is they were a fantastic band, full of raw energy and more power pop hooks than they knew what to do with. Singer/leader Peter Case went on to pursue a solo career that explored his interest in folk and blues (I highly recommend his record Sings Like Hell). The Plimsouls studio records blistered with live energy; Everywhere At Once almost sounds like a live recording. The title song pretty much sums it up for me right now: Graduation ceremony? Springsteen show? Little league game?
Soccer game? Dance recital? Health club? Office? Home???

Listen:Everywhere At Once
