I'm gearing up for what I already know will be a fantastic concert at Paradiso this Wednesday. One of the most unique, under-rated, and all around wonderful musicians on this earth, Joanna Newsom is playing. Her voice and her harp are simply incomparable to anything I've ever known in the world of music.

She was actually here over the summer but got sick and was forced to cancel her performance. Like many ticket holders I was pretty bummed to hear the news and wondered, when, if ever, I'd get a chance to use my ticket to see Joanna. Sure enough, patience pays off, she's back!

Naturally I'll do a post concert write up and most likely share some video with you as well. But for now I wanted to add another bit of useful info. Paradiso, Amsterdam's finest concert venue and former church, also runs a site called fabchannel. Fabchannel is indeed FAB because on that site you can watch the complete show of any concert that takes place at Paradiso. This basically means all your favorite artists, big or small, at some point come to Amsterdam and play at Paradiso. Thanks to Fabchannel, even if you couldn't be there, you can watch and enjoy. What a deal!

(Joanna NEwsom is sold out by the way, so no price and time info)
