After a gig in my small Vermont town, the band Wussy stayed at my house. You might remember singer Chuck Cleaver from his days in the Ass Ponys. Great folks, super super nice. And a really killer band

I was starting to get worried for a minute there .... scored 3 for Montreal

I'm in the waiting room. That's a bad sign

After the New Haven CT show in 2006 Pat Sansone came into a little bar near the venue and the whole place started cheering.

Those 1988 Oxford ME shows were my first. Crazy crazy times

Brutal!

I'm pretty sure he recorded Gram Parson Archives Vol One : Live at the Avalon Ballroom when the Flying Burrito Brothers were opening for the Dead

Can : "Vitamin C"

Sonic Youth / Black Keys airing 1/22

Wussy.

Not a huge surprise as he'd been ill for years and retired from music in 1982, but still a bummer!

re : Beefheart He's got some great albums but Trout Mask Replica is just not one that I pop on too often. Shiny Beast, Doc at the Radar Station and Lick My Decals Off Baby are all much better albums IMHO. That being said, TMR is about the coolest album cover ever and when I finally stumbled across a t-shirt here I bought it.

Yo La Tengo.

Where does Suicide fit in?

They both have a psychedlic garage rock vibe to them, IMHO. I did discover them around the same time, so maybe that's influencing my opinion.
