i hope they do that Alan Parsons cover.

Damn straight. Jon was in the same freshman class as me in college.

tonight - Mastodon/Gojira/Kvelertak tmrw - Swans/Jenny Hval

Paul Rodgers couldn't find the rehearsal space.

yeah "Persia" was a highlight for sure. and listening to "Venus De Milo" really underscored how much the Talking Heads took from them.

rock music isn't for everyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eAHIlLX7Oc

i have a pretty good interview w/ Watt that i need to finish transcribing. the dude is a force of nature.

check out some of the records from the Sublime Frequencies label... they know their stuff.

Witch is another great one...i had a reissue copy of _Lazy Bones_ but there's since been a pretty nice multi-disc set released: http://www.amazon.com/We-Intend-To-Cause-Havoc/dp/B007IXEUN0

you've probably seen him around...that's Rich Gastwirt, photographer extraordinaire and dashing man about town (let's see if Google alerts gets him over here).

this record is totally amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo7jnGJNx7w

stretching the term 'rock star,' but...

not sure if you are being serious or not, but i couldn't help myself.

there may have been the threat of a Bob Weir visit. you can never be too prepared.

maybe if you're lucky, you can touch it like my friend did

right on, thanks.

jff, just curious as to what band you were playing in. Wurster is hilarious. his facebook/twitter feed is consistently awesome.

i gotta say though that The Paradise sucks as a room when it's sold out. i suppose that is true of most any venue, but once you are in there is no moving. show was solid, though. much better than the Bruins.

the way i learned that Page was coming to Boston was via Haflin's facebook page.

not that i go to a lot of arena shows, but they are the one band that can connect w/ the audience despite the massive size.

well, not sure i'd label him as a hero, but he's certainly got a body of work and access that speaks for itself. i think the only famous photographer i've ever met was Bob Gruen...ran into him during the Stooges set at ATP a few years ago.

Jimmy Page stopped by the In Your Ear shop while he was in town getting an honorary degree. pretty awesome! i took a photo of Mudhoney in that place after I interviewed Mark and Steve last year.

a great paean to another acid-damaged compatriot. the first time i ever saw them (unfortunately, it was after Kathleen had left the band) was one of the most fucked up shows i think i'd ever seen. they really opened my eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa5cRNypJsw
