Redefined and random babbling

I'm going to blog more. For real this time.
It might just be filler.
It might not be interesting.
But I'm going to do it more as an exercise than entertainment anyway.
So maybe this is more of a warning than advertisement.
If, within the first few sentences, it doens't sound like I'm about to say anything interesting.... it probably isnt' going to get much better.

I do have a plug for today though
(I have no career in sales what-so-ever, so I'm not sure if the soon to be mention target of said plug should be grateful or bothered)

There is an A Capella group from the UW Madison called Redefined.
I've never been much of a fan of A Capella. My feelings toward it have ranged from luke-warm to slightly sickish feeling.

When i first moved to Madison someone told me that I HAD to see the Mad Hatters. I'm always open to music suggestions. I freakin' love listening to new music, even when it's not in one of the genres that I normally like (I draw the line at country though, unless it's really old country then i'll still give it a chance). And if it's local music, that's even better.

I don't even remember where I first heard the Mad Hatters (crap, I'm digressing.... you might want to think about tuning out for a bit). I think it was at the Union. A free show I'm sure. And the lure of anything at the union tends to draw me more than if it was at someplace else. I think you could sell me on a some pretty absurd things if you throw in "and they'll be at the union. It's supposed to be nice out, and I'll buy you a beer".

One way or the other I saw the Mad Hatters, and I'm sorry to say. I just wasn't impressed. Somewhere less than luke warm but no where near the point where "I want to crawl up into my own ass and vomit. That's right, throw up in my own butt." (I stole that quote from Sheena Morris who, if you're looking for an good new artist is worth checking out. I've been trying to figure out a way to fit it into a conversation all day. I think i may hav failed).

Then... later in life.... We (me, wife, daughter) went to Duck Soup Cinema. ( thumbs up , in the family event category). And we caught a shortened version of a Redefined concert (http://www.uwredefined.com/). And by jorge, I found an A Capella group that I liked.

We've become sort of unofficial groupies (without the sexual undertones). We try to catch them whenever they do a show in Madison. If you see that they are perfoming, and you've got an open spot in your calendar that happens to coincide, I highly recommend giving them a chance.

Here are a couple youtube videos I found. They aren't perfect, but you'll get the idea.
