Happiness For Blessing

I mentioned this before, but U2 released their album today. It's available from the Amazon MP3 Store for $3.99. The band is playing on The Late Show with David Letterman all week long. Here is the video from last night's performance:



In other late night news, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon debuted last night. Here is the funniest segment, in my opinion:

You may have guessed from reading the subheader that I am a Caedmon's Call fan, and you would be right. I love the complexity that they bring to the table, both lyrically and musically. I could go on about exactly why they're my all-time favorite music group, but I don't think we've really been acquainted long enough for me to show you the level of my nerdiness on this matter.

I was content just having the tickets, but when we got in, she grabbed my hand and led me up to the second row, front and center. I don't have to tell you that this was a memorable experience for me. They played several of my favorite songs, though not all of them, and some that I think are okay. One of those was "Hold the Light." For some reason, it really resonated with me.
