Slow down for Snow Covered Roads
Part PSA, part self promotion, a new song from the Formal Age.
Part PSA, part self promotion, a new song from the Formal Age.
The Formal Age are a local indie rock band reminiscent of the Cars or the Hold Steady. They are “new” band, but the members are all veteran players who have been a part of the scene since the late 90s. They debuted at Homegrown under the name “A Team / B Team”.
Matt Ray and Those Damn Horses is a 6 piece “string band” that specializes in high-energy, modernized versions of old songs taken from Americana and Roots music along with a healthy dose of original music.
It should be a great show with lots of variety.

My wife and I found this cat in a parking lot along (ironically) Garfield Ave last night. I just brought him to the animal shelter. He was super-friendly and had been de-clawed and neutered. He’s mostly black, with a white chin and “socks” on all four feet. Figured I’d post because I know if I’d lost one of my cats I’d want someone to do the same. At the very least I hope he’s re-adopted.
Does anybody out there own (or know somebody with) a high-quality metal detector? I lost my wedding ring digging in the garden yesterday (should have removed it, I know…) I already rented a cheapo one and tried it out but it wasn’t much help (too many false readings). I’m looking for somebody with a high-end detector and the know-how to discern all the crazy noises it makes. I’d pay you for your time.
