🦋 Kinks
Ellen and I got our tickets today to see Ray Davies! He'll be playing at the end of the month in Montclair. Well I'm excited: The Kinks are a band I've always liked when I listen to their music, although I'm not very familiar with the span of their œuvre, I know a lot of their songs and love when they come on the radio -- as Ellen was saying earlier, the trouble with The Kinks is all their songs are just so catchy, you can't stop singing them when you hear one. I don't really know anything about Davies as a solo act, I understand he plays a lot of the old Kinks tracks and some new music as well. Everything I've been reading online over the past few years suggests it's going to be a great show. And what great timing! Holly of The Song In My Head Today has picked November as the month of The Kinks; every day she is posting reflections on a song of theirs, one song per album, in chronological order. So far:
- Stop Your Sobbing, from The Kinks.
- Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl, from Kinda Kinks.
- Where Have All the Good Times Gone, from The Kink Kontroversy.
- Too Much on My Mind, from Face to Face.

He's not even coming to the Northwest. Sigh.

He's got a new record which sounds pretty interesting, Kinks songs in choral arrangements. He and his choir are performing those in NYC only, the Montclair show is just going to be him.
