it had been a while since I've seen Ms Annie Clark on stage, and back in 2008 or so I had no idea what to expect. man was i blown away by her guitar playing. so physical, abrasive, creative. blending parts of Carlos Alomar and Robert Fripp like i've never heard. unfortunately i didn't get a chance to see a lot of this show but the bits I did see were excellent. more here: http://photos.tinnitus-photography.com/p183196431

the guitar line towards the end of "Waking LIght" is my favorite bit of the record so far.

thank you for that link. it's quite excellent. love that llne

good luck finding *any* new 7" for $5.

they did it all for the money

ska really is a terrible genre... so few bands did it well, and the creative territory to explore is minimal. The Specials and The Selecter had it all mapped out decades ago.

man i had so much fun at the Jicks show (aside from the ex-frat bros behind me who kept shouting out for "Church On White" the entire night....if Steve ignores your existence the first 20 times, it's probably a good hint to shut the fuck up). st vincent tonight.

TD is way above Homeland, but not in front of Breaking Bad. at least for me. still, totally enjoyable, well-made show. can't wait to see how it concludes.

they are touring w/ Chelsea Wolfe, which is a bit strange.

they roofied me, man. details are sketchy.

since someone date raped me at a Sublime show.

the only thing i know about Sublime is that Santeria song. which is about on the same level of enjoyment as herpes. sorry, "Seed" isn't doing any better.

he is notoriously anti-camera as well....doesn't approve any photo passes.

the matter of John Doe's 60th birthday made me go down a burrow in my brain's memory and i remembered this movie about some college radio station that Doe was in. i remember buying the CD single of the Giant Sand song (which, strangely, was on soundtrack CD but not mentioned in the IMBD details). anyway, UT is listed as having "Factory Belt" in the movie, but "Won't Forget" on the soundtrack: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100122/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd http://www.discogs.com/Various-A-Matter-Of-Degrees-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/1824652

i once saw Jeff "monoman" Connolly dump a big bowl of potato salad on Bob Pollard's ass. or maybe it was the other way around. everyone was pretty drunk at the time.

I've seen Mikael assault his keyboards with pillows. Does that count?

i haven't shot George since 2008...forgot about that upcoming show, maybe i'll put in for it.

sorry that you thought it was snark. it's a poorly written article if a qualifier that negates the headline is in the 2nd sentence.

Please correct your topic title "The most influential non-hip-hop record of the early '90s "

If I had a teleportation device, I would be seeing OM in Brooklyn.

Yeah he's gonna be at the HardRock here in Boston. Figure it might be Rollins extra lite In other news, Spirit Caravan is back together for a tour. \m/

Devo is an amazing band, one that pushed so many boundaries and it's sad that most people who know them is just for "Whip It". Rip Bob.

yeah it turned out to be this

I am not too enthused about the new record but am really pumped for the upcoming show.

did you see his european set lists? holy christ. the covers (both non-Pavement and Pavement) were epic.
