2010 is going to be a good year for live music

I have recently bought tickets to 3 more live shows. I'm going kind of nuts, but there are so many acts coming that I have wanted to see for a long time. I was lucky enough to see Patti Smith a few weeks ago and she lived up to every expectation I had. Now I have purchased tickets to Beach House, Cyndi Lauper and She and Him. Beach House is a new obscession for me. Their Teen Dream album really won me over and I hear they give a great show even though their music is melodic and moody. I have been a fan of Cyndi Lauper since childhood. If you grew up in the eighties, chances are, you love Cyndi. I had a chance to see her do a small set a couple years ago and was amazed at her energy, love of her fans and how much she really gave to the crowd! This will be the first time I have seen her on her own. She and Him is indie rocker M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel. They have an AM Gold, alt country, 70's vibe to them, and I love it. It is wonderful, lazy summer music.

Here are the dates, venues and a live clip of each act.
