Terrible and predictable list. Tom Waits is the safe critics pick and he tours about as often as new popes get picked. One (1!) metal band and it's Metallica. The only two dinosaur acts that belong in the top 50 are Neil and Iggy. Give me a fucking break.

if the publicist had let me know in time, i would have seen New Order tonight.

2014 will see King Diamond as a headliner.

damn that's a freaking ripoff...$40 for parking. parking is always cheaper at The Paradise...except for that one time I parked unknowingly in a tow zone in Brookline. got out of the Wild Flag show only to find a tow truck moving one car, and mine was already gone. that was fun...$40 cab ride to Brookline PD, waited at least an hour for the paper work to come through, then another $60 cab ride to Watertown to get my car. why the hell can't Brookline just use a Brighton or Brookline tow service? i got home about 3AM.

Last year was my first time at Fort Adams, and I only took in Friday and Saturday (and Friday only had Wilco, Blitzen Trapper and Megafaun), so this was a much larger dose. good times, and my cameras survived Friday's rain. http://www.gigwise.com/photos/83256/25-exclusive-photos-from-the-newport-folk-festival some photos not included in that slideshow:

Is that standard parking or some VIP bullshit? btw, Melvins ruled last night. one band that never gets old for me.

five.

for a musician, what's the threshold for considered wealthy these days?

A man, a plan, a canal - enema!

how could they possibly lose artistic credibility with that article? if anything, they would gain it by taking control of their business and not being beholden to others.

in retrospect i kinda regret missing this show, but couldn't find anyone to go with...was traffic a nightmare because of Bon Jovi playing at Foxboro that night?

aye, sporadically. sometimes just hitting refresh works, other times it doesn't

yeah that was a good read. interesting to hear of the band agreement and then how it fell apart. i guess Stirratt had to get bought of that original contract too?

anyone else immediately think of this guy? hint

yeah, it's OM and they did a show at the Temple of Dendur exhibit. rather awesome evening.

disclaimer - it was last night.

just enamored of manhood types. do you know any?

ok

there's been a lot of fucked tour pairings, but i gotta say that Live and Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 has to be near the top.

thanks, I know who J is (and Mark, for that matter....I've got a copy of _The Backyard_ and saw Miracle Legion back in the day; Deep Wound, too for that matter...about the only benefit of growing up in Western MA).

manhood. i bet. caution - the above link contains images of menhood.

but you know what this means, right?
