tinnitus photography

when i was at Roadburn two years ago, on my way to the venue i saw Gira at a sidewalk table w/ a lithe lass. this was just a few days after the event, and i mentioned i'd seen a clip of the event (i didn't want to call it for what it actually was, which was a withering, hilarious dress-down rant) on youtube. he wasn't aware of that, but a few days later the clip disappeared. looks like someone recently uploaded just the audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SklCTLW60dw tonight, i am going to see DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist playing records from the actual collection of Afrika Bambaataa.

i was figuring that maybe Reprise was pushing for a 'Best Of' collection, but obviously Nonesuch would have to get involved (as well as Elektra, if any Mermaid material will be included). how's that all work, anyway?

wednesday night = suckitude.

oh, nice! were you at the infamous solo Gira show in Denver when he went on the tirade to shut up the talkers?

i regret not seeing The Sundays w/ Yo La Tengo in '90 or so at Citi.

Inside/Outside, thanks for that writeup.

Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away.

30 years, even.

part of the challenge is to take 30 less seconds in the shower.

Dave and I know what's what.

I'd go if there was a guarantee i'd hear "The Have Nots"

that's a cool space to see them, but $40... oof, that's too much.

magnificent!

both songs i never want to hear again.

Sleep. May I bask in Iommic riffage.

Lucky San Diegoans can see Drive Like Jehu play a free show coming up soon.

I pretty much left it as it was said.

part 1, anyway. http://bigtakeover.com/interviews/interview-with-mike-watt-punk-rock-legend-plaid-enthusiast-and-honorary-italian-part-1 This was the most enjoyable interview I've ever done...the man is a total ball of energy and so personable.
