Happy Thanksgiving from Jersey!
November 28, 2008 – 11:01 pm
We’ve taken a short holiday from the blog to stuff ourselves till we popped.

Tonight we had the luck to see Eli “Paperboy” Reed in concert for the second time. Eli and the True Loves are the opening act for Duffy’s 4-week American tour, which started tonight in San Diego at Humphrey’s By the Bay. First, let me just say the Eli Reed was awesome as expected. His soulful [...]
