Sopranowitz Fever

Really happy about the new Soprano's episode this weekend, I am too

Friends, my readers, and internet users worldwide, it is I, Brad Evans. I know its been a bit, but truthfully between holiday observances and the "man" keeping me down, my time has been limited. I apologize, but I have many things for you today.


Lets begin in bullets:

• The Knicks season is in the tank, (let the Kevin Garnett rumors begin) I do not want to go there...., however a former Knick/Senator/former Presidential Candidate, Bill Bradley, has written a new book, The New American Story. The guy is brilliant, and is the sole reason I could not vote for the inconveient truth/oxymoron that is Al Gore in 2000.
  
• Sunday nights are back.....Sopranos, Entourage....bring it. Speaking of, its the final 9 for those Sopranos. Who dies first? Will Paulie take out Tony in a fit of Paulie-esque rage?, will Johns wife finally eat herself?, and most importantly will we see Meadow naked?
  
• In honor of Easter and this "good" friday - check out Aretha Franklin busting our Amazing Grace in an actual church
• In honor of Passover (which I spent part of in the lovely city of Cleveland), check our some hip hop versions of parts of the seder. Courtesy of DJ SoCalled, 2nd Cup of wine , Who Know's One and the 10 Plagues featuring Killah Priest
  
• Forbes magazine (yes that Forbes) present to you a slide show on the most exotic green you've ever seen

SUMMER MUSIC SEASON is almost here - here is an early glimpse:

• NYC River to River

• Newport Folk Festival (ain't so folky anymore) - looks amazing
  
• Summerstage 2008 the initial lineup
  
• Wilco Tour Dates
• And lastly Irving Plaza will be renamed The Fillmore East at Irving Plaza - lame....

"Everytime I go to a craft fair I see a jar of jelly beans that says 'Guess how many jelly beans are in the jar, and you win a prize?' C'mon man, let me just have some. I tell you what, you guess how many I want. If you said a handful, you are right." - Hedberg
