Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday NightI didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it.
I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight.
