i heard Jesus etc at Phoenix Landing last night.

tonight it's the supergroup Rangda along with Major Stars...psyched for this! the tour a couple of years ago missed Boston (Providence and Easthampton instead), so i am pumped up for this one...Major Stars wreaks all sorts of heavy, in-the-red psych action, whereas Rangda is better know for it's parts (Rick Bishop of Sun City Girls and solo work; Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance (and other countless projects...Comets On Fire, 200 Years, August Born, Badgerlore, Current 93, Basalt Fingers, etc); Chris Corsano, drummer extraordinaire who has worked with Bjork among others).

yeah...for me, the best period is their mid period...they outgrew the simple punkier sound, and Weller hadn't morphed into a Motown wanna be either. Setting Sons, Sound Affects, and All Mod Cons are top-notch.

i need to add Robyn Hitchcock to my list.

only if you like The Wall, i suppose. pretty much any other PF record (aside from The Final Cut) would be a better choice....

oh yeah, i am gonna see M Ward, and i forgot about The Feelies too.

ATP does the best festivals...i've been to 5 so far, with another two scheduled in for this year.

i've been pretty quiet lately...got nixed for The Black Keys...i have Rangda and Major Stars next week (hell yeah, will be awesome), and Van Halen after that...march picks up with Wedding Present, Swervedriver, and Wild Flag. also Joy Formidable.

yeah they were bringing it. 4 songs in 3 days, and i was only in the lodge for lunch and in the morning, putting boots on.

cock rock, it could be argued.

Nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(Again) was today's selection that I heard at Loon.

i am pretty psyched that i'll be shooting the Boston show.

Walken today at the lodge

had a dream where i was shooting a Wilco concert...they were playing in some weird sort of venue where there was an elevated portion where the stage was, and the main audience was below. us photographers got to hang out up on higher level for our songs, which was cool. but as we were waiting for the band to get on, a steady stream of VIPs came in and started clogging up the area, so i had to figure out my shooting plan. got to a decent position as the band started played and then realized that not only didn't i bring two cameras like always, but my main camera was malfunctioning...the lens mou

pretty freakin' good for having such a crappy snow season this year.

Went skiing at Loon today and the base lodge at the gondola played Dawned On Me in the morning and I'm Always In Love in the afternoon.

i think i'll try to catch that Boston show.

:lol

that old white dude is getting his Skillrex on

^^^^ lol

hardcore post-mid80s seems like an anachronism to me...

thanks for posting that Spencer stuff. he's a good writer.

my friends and i used to laugh about the line in "Thunder Road" where he goes "Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk" and then he proceeds to play the equivalent of Chopsticks on the piano
