tinnitus photography

i was representing for Sleep and Mogwai

i should be up in NH, on vacation lakeside w/ my family...but, i spent all of today going through not only the 2500 photos i took over the weekend, but clearing the backlog of photos from the last two weeks of other shows, and writing reviews. that's done, but not my SSF review. that can wait a bit, i suppose. for now, here are some assorted photos of the weekend for yr viewing pleasure... day 2 and 3 photos coming soon to a Via Chicago website near you.

at first i was convinced it was the dude from Gogol Bordello.

the interview didn't quite work but i give 'em props for trying something new. here's my review and photos http://www.prefixmag.com/photos/dinosaur-jr-henry-rollins-off-the-paradise-boston-/ dino photos up on my site in a bit.

they definitely didn't bring enough 22oz bottles of WTF to Solid Sound, and the stuff ended up selling out within the 1st hour or so of days 1 and 2, and there was none for day 3. they even sold out of the IPA on day 3, and even Goose Island had no more IPA left. at least i got a couple of free pints of WTF when i was in the lounge area doing a couple of band interviews.

absolutely! i put up some unedited shots in this thread and i just got home to start looking at the rest of them. i have a lot! thank god for cheap hard drives.

Syl's set was really fun but got cut by 20 min. I was kinda hoping they would have him play on Sunday since there is no opener before levon and let wilco have their whole time slot. But it worked out well anyway.

some very quick (ie, no edits) photos from yesterday...cameras are still working, so that's a plus. i was worried, to be honest. heaviest rain i've shot in by far photos of day 1

excellent. Steve MacDonald rocked out last night w/ OFF!

the scuttlebutt is that someone pulled a permit for a 3 day stretch at Fenway for a concert, and pearl jam is the prime suspect.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

get in touch if you need one extra.

I'll be @ the Dinosaur Jr. + OFF! show.

John needs more flashy bass solos.

it was 227 and a half. there's also something to be said against inbreeding.

and a hotbed of excitement, too.

i guess that makes total sense as Darin's playing solo anyway.

Loose Fur = in need of immediate laundry service.

Loose Fur = in need of immediate laundry service.

well, that's an interesting situation for Bruce to ponder...for one, i think it'd be a bit sacrilegious to hire another sax player and still call it the E Street Band...

that makes the most sense to me. i'll definitely be catching Purling Hiss' set.

ah, good eye!

i met that guy @ SSF last year...he had Glenn (and i think others) sign one

same thing w/ these guys

amazing. i can't believe the B's have won. that Bergeron shorthanded goal was the dagger through the ribs. Marchand...what more can you say? Just like Linesman, he'll irritate the hell of you if he's on another team, but when he's on your team, you love him. Seguin got all the print for being a rookie, but Marchand delivered.
