Patti Smith. OCB how about you?

saw Sarah Borges at a woefully under attended show at City Winery last night. fun show, i think people here would dig her music. kinda rockabilly/country rock with a great presentation. didn't realize Alex from Worshipper was playing guitar in her band now. the dude can rip!

Sleep

i work in biopharma, which is the reason i am over in ireland a lot these days (working on a new project facility design/build/qualify).

choices, choices...

well i actually didn't spend too much time there... drove out sat from dublin and got into town around 1:30... checked in to my hotel and grabbed a falafel from a street vendor for lunch and then drove down to Aillwee Cave and then Cliffs of Moher. i didn't get back into Galway until nearly 9:30 and then had dinner at a really good place called Dela. had a beer at Salt House which was cool. there was a tapas place called Cava Bodega which looked great but was booked solid. a dubliner recommended Tartare or Anier but Tartare was fancier than i was looking for and Anier closed at 10. i left G

bummed i am overseas and missing the Boston date, though the Milwaukee review was pretty savage. looks like a great set list (Childhood's End!) but curious as to why they didn't add Eugene??? seems like a big hole.

when i was in Galway a few days ago, i struck up a conversation with the guy at the bar next to me. Turns out he was an American/English semi-expat who stage manages The Underworld, which sounded like a cool venue.

why was normal american kids aborted?

apply for and get a job at Newbury Comics, but be sure to specify that you can only work at the Newbury location, and only on Saturday. until 1 or so.

granted NYC prices are different, but maybe our definition of 'club' is the issue here... in Boston anyways, i would say that a club is 1000 or less capacity, excepting House of Blues which is almost on par with T5. and 90% of shows at venues like The Paradise, Royale, Sinclair, even HoB are definitely under $50. There is no way Wilco would play a venue like HoB at this stage in their career; they are too big.

a club show for under $50? that's incredibly easy.

Budos Band - III

Major Stars and Dan Melchior.

in the early 90s i saw a set sale for this record in Goldmine, for $100. which was a lot of money in those days and i passed. I've never seen another copy come up for sale, and i doubt i ever will. i did get a copy of the bootleg that came out a few years ago. https://www.discogs.com/Jim-Shepard-Slit-and-Pre-Slit/release/7397745

he has not been there. watching Herndon and McEntire drum together is amazing. WAND is cool, too.

what do i win?
