Well, the Pixies show was sold out before I even heard of it, so what's a feller to do? Anyway, Al Green in Seattle July 1st. It will be our honeymoon.

[V-Adore]

Huzzah!

I had tickets to a Reel Big giraffe/Eve 6 show here last night and didn't go, because I was the walking dead. Even having heard that it wasn't very good, I still feel like an ingrate.

Lewis Black: Rules of Enragement.

The Tabernacle, Atlanta.

11 June.

Oh, yes.

[slink]

Tweaker - 2am Wake Up Call - Damned fine! Tops 'The Attraction to All Things Uncertain' for sure, and is just such a phenomenally well put together album (Chris Vrenna - old drummer for NIN for those who haven't come across Tweaker).

Wonderful Days - Korean anime, not music, but looks stunning - best limited edition packaging ever!

More Trigun DVD's and Witch Hunter Robin.

Far Cry.

And got some more Think Of One and The Back Horn albums too.

Slink, I love you like a brother, but I meant things sort of along the lines of concert tix and such. The other would go in that long thread a little ways down on the page (New Purchases).

Nutsacks. Yea. I was stoned, tired, not paying attention and thinking it was the new buys topic. Boneheadalicious!

And two and a half hours later you are back on top of things - you have impressive powers of recuperation, my friend.

Well, shucks, thanks for the compliment squire, but I fear...
Having just made it through an 80 minute mix for a friends birthday tomorrow, which took about 2 hours after numerous restarts, it now being 11.30, and still having to pack, shave, shower and spend 5 hours on a train...

Yea.

Cheers though!

Hells yeah- listen to this line-up:

Saturday- Paul Westerburg, Patti Smith and Sonic Youth. God bless public radio, who makes this possible for $20.

June- Bonnaroo, where I'm going to try to see all of the following:
Neko Case, Wilco, Calexico (should I see them? I don't really know much about them), Nellie McKay (I like one of her tracks, that "David" song, but she seems too "cute" to really take seriously. Fer chrissake, the back of her CD says, "Nellie McKay is a proud member of P.E.T.A."), Yo La Tengo, Mike Doughty (thanks Jough), Gillian Welch, Danger penis, Los Lobos, Grandaddy, Beth Orton, My Morning Jacket (for the umpteenth time- HOME TOWN REPRESENT!), Sam Bush Band, DOC MOTHERLOVING WATSON, Ween, Burning Spear, Taj Mahal, Femi Kuti, David Byrne.
Okay, here's what pisses me off about Bonnaroo- at about half of these shows, I'm going to have to cut out early or leave late, because there are a bunch of other awesome bands playing at the same time. But at f-in' 8:30 every day, every stage but one shuts down so we can all hear Dave Matthews & Friends, The Dead, or Trey "SOMEBODY fuck*ng SHOOT ME NOW, RIGHT NOW, IN THE MIDDLE OF MY 40-MINUTE GUITAR WANK" Anastasio. EVERY STAGE. Why does Neko Case and Wilco overlap, when there's like 9 hours of SUCK you could move them into? Hey, Bonnaroo-organizing dicks, maybe not EVERYONE coming to Bonnaroo LIKES jam bands? Perchance some people equate them with a circle of hell? Anyway...

August- Lollapalooza, New York City, where I'll be seeing (well, these are the people I'm excited about seeing):
sweet baby jesus MORRISSEY, Sonic Youth (for the third time), Le Tigre, Modest penis, the Von Bondies, the Walkmen (who actually came in to my work the other day, with the French Kicks, the Flaming Lips, the Coup...
AND THE MOTHER LOVING PIXIES.

Dang, man....this is going to be a hell of a summer.

[andalucia]

Ha Ha, I am seeing every great band in the world.

I barely even know how to respond to this.  If those great mixes you made hadn't proved yourself to be worthy of those upcoming concert experiences, I'd probably knife ya or something.

[Nabubrush]

Ha Ha, I am seeing every great band in the world.

I don't hope you die. I don't hope you die. I don't.

And you can tell that I really don't, because this is my 500th post.

Down here in Texas we have an expression, it goes like this:  You'd bitch if you was hung with a new rope.  Which should mean I think, that you've got bigger problems than how that rope is chaffing, but actually means you shouldn't bitch about something trivial when you've got it so good.

Man that Bonaroo sounds like one hell of a good time.  I actually considered heading over that way, but decided against it.  All of those bands are great, but I would rather see them in more intimate [read comfortable] settings.  The festival scene is just too tiring at my age.

Now it's my turn.  Just announced, two nights of Bonnie "Prince" Billy.  As if that weren't enough, it's gonna be held at The Orange Show

Life is good sometimes.

Ha, point taken. Have fun at Bonnie Prince Billy, man. I live in his TOWN and I've never seen him, except for at a Sonic Youth concert where he sat at the bar, his back to the band, drinking all night.

Oh, and: Andalucia is gonna kill me for this, but...
The show line-up tonight was Paul Westerburg (awesome), Sonic Youth (awesome), Patti Smith (notable only in how lame it was, and how she turned a nonsensical statement about flossing into a ham-handed political aside) and Polyphonic Spree (didn't stay). However, in between Sonic Youth and Patti Smith, this dude comes out and is like, we've got a little suprise for you guys tonight...ladies and gentlemen, MR. JOHN CALE.

Needless to say, a little pee came out.

Jesus FUCK.  
Making eye contact with David Bowie may have made me scream, but I am nigh on positive that I would faint if I saw John Cale.  I have been in love with the man for about 5 years which is not that long until you consider that it's almost a third of my life.
I take it all back, I hate you I hate you I hate you.
It does, however, depress me how lame Patti Smith has become.  Another former idol of mine... but she'd have to burn down several orphanages or something to overshadow the amazingness that is Land.

[jough]

I was always partial to Easter.

But yeah, she's been lame for at least a decade.

Pity.

Oh, and I think you missed the boat on Polyphonic Spree.  They're not so good, but they're a LOT of fun live.  There's about a thousand of them, so just seeing them all take a small stage is worth the price of admission.
