So many concert announcements these last couple days with such precious time, but this one probably has excited me the most.  If you haven’t heard Noah and the Whale, you really, really need to begin.  The entire “indie” movement (whatever that is) has been missing genuine, honest-to-goodness pop songwriting elements.  Noah and the Whale get it.  They understand that the same melodic lines used by Buddy Holly and the Beatles in the 50′s and 60′s still work the best today.  I’m going to stop myself now before I begin a treatise on how this all dovetails into evolutionary psychology.  Instead, I’m going to sit back, put my legs up on the desk, fill my coffee cup, and listen to some Noah and the Whale.  You should too.
