This weekend I stumbled upon two new obsessions.
1) Ra Ra Riot. I entered their sold-out show at Bowery Ballroom on Friday night a new listener and left a hardcore fan. The performance was incredible, the songs upbeat and catchy, and the band genuine. I found myself smiling the entire time, despite only hearing the songs for the first time.
2) Battlestar Galactica. Obsessed. Frooch and I watched the entire first season in about 72 hours. Before this weekend, and admittedly based on nothing but the name, I assumed Battlestar Galactica was some Star Trek-y, futuristic nerdfest. Now I realize that it is awesome. I find myself making an average of two Cylon jokes a day.
