this is a cool cover, and the first time i'd heard of the Groundhogs...excellent guest guitar work by none other than Nick Saloman (aka the Bevis Frond).

Lou Barlow

no mention of a true icon yet (at least in text):

that is a fantastic cover. also nice to see another Delgados fan. loved that band.

which reminded me of:

heard "Secret of the Sea" while at a post-ski restaurant in Farmington, Maine yesterday.

i would think that some of it has to do w/ the pretty small theaters he's playing...hell, last electric show i saw in an arena had GA tickets for about $75. that's still a lot, but i certainly didn't feel cheated after the show. another part might be trying to beat the scalpers...had he priced floor seats at $100, i bet you'd find a lot of them at stubhub...as it is, what's the markup for a $250 ticket gonna be? probably not many people willing to pay more than that.

wow, you pulled that today? damn. i think all the floor seats are $250 face, right?

i tried today, and got seats in row Z...what seats did you get?

that's what i am guessing, so i don't feel all that bad now.

i often thought that Peter Jefferies solo work echoed _Fear_ quite a bit.

i didn't take that many, as the light (fluorescent store lighting) was pretty bad, but i'll work on some tonight. i am kicking myself that i didn't get a shot w/ Kurt and the life-sized cardboard Bieber cut-out.

damn, didn't realize tickets already went on sale for Neil.

think about the amazing debut LPs that Cale produced (P Smith, Stooges, Modern Lovers).

Damn, Todd...that's mighty high praise. but, i will let you know that i'm just a bottom feeder (see quote most of the way down... )

she's not from that block.

Glenn Jones uses a partial capo on some songs, sometimes leaving the top two strings unaffected. i saw Kurt Vile play acoustic last week and he definitely used open tuning, and to a very good degree.

Motorhead + Clutch last week This would be my second time seeing the band, and I thought the 1st time was a bit better, but still one can't argue the greatness of Motörhead, can they? Though, i could go for a bit different set list...seemed like a lot of the same stuff they played last tour. and Clutch was definitely a half-trick pony...i swear every guitar solo was the exact same thing. here's a teaser, and more shots of the band can be seen here: http://www.prefixmag.com/photos/motorhead-clutch-house-of-blues-boston-pics/

pretty much the same as before reading this thread.

so the password was 'sucker'?

what was defective about them? first i've heard of it.

Tom Cora (cellist, played w/ Dutch punk band The Ex)

add Vince Welnick to the list too (saw him w/ the Tubes and the Dead)
