Just picked up tickets to go see Joe Pernice on Wednesday night.
He is doing a solo tour where he both plays songs from his new album (which comes out tomorrow) and reads from his novel (which comes out Thursday).
i'll be @ the 2nd show, unless i find some cheap ticket for mccartney after i'm done shooting the 1st two songs.

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy
Windowlicker is quite good, too.

1. First Concert, when?
The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet... i was in jr high school and went w/ my brother...must have been around '79 or so.
2. First Concert you really wanted to go to and did?
probably the same answer as #1. or maybe Cheap Trick on the _Dream Police_ tour.
3. Favorite Band?
not possible to answer.
4. How Many Times have you seen them?
most times i've ever seen one individual band is either Neil Young, Sonic Youth, or Yo La Tengo...about a dozen or so times.
5. Worst concert you attended?
Soul Asylum and Agitpop @ Hampshire College...my friends and i were tripping our asses off and it was just a bad scene overall...we left before Agitpop ended.
6. Favorite?
not possible to answer definitively, but here are some contenders among many:
Mark Burgess last week
The Who/The Clash
the Jesus Lizard on the Goat tour
Verlaines, both times
Sun City Girls/Thinking Fellers Union Local 282
Neil Young+Crazy Horse, '86 or so
The Jazz Butcher/Blue Aeroplanes, '91 or so
Mudhoney/Superchunk
Urge Overkill/Tar/Unsane
Sonic Youth ('89 before _Goo_ came out, and the proper _Goo_ tour)
7. Band you have seen the most?
see #4
8. How many times?
see #4
9. Furthest you drove for a concert? How far?
i've driven down to NYC for a few shows...it's about a 4 hr drive. The Who/The Clash @ Shea, Giant Sand, Thee Headcoats, and most recently Throbbing Gristle
10. Furthest locale from home you have seen a concert?
i saw Brown Velvet Couch, Gate, and Alastair Galbraith @ the Empire in Dunedin NZ. it's the furthest i've ever been from home period.
11. How many concerts have you seen?
hundreds.
12. most you ever paid for a concert ticket?
$150 for Neil Young @ the Orpheum in late '07. taking into account inflation, the $125 i paid for front row tickets to Wilco in '02, and $60 in '82 for the Who/Clash show might also qualify.
13. Least amount of people at a concert by a major labeled artist.
are the Datsuns still on a major label? most of the club left after Future of the Left played last weekend.
14. Band you want to see the most who you haven't seen?
Wipers
Savage Republic
Einsturzende Neubaten
Current 93
15. Ever been backstage, on a tourbus..which?
not much of a scenester but i have been backstage w/ Har Mar Superstar drinking beers, and did a pre-gig shoot w/ Psychic TV backstage.
16. Longest show by one artist you ever saw?
not sure...probably either The Who, The Cure, or U2. i don't see many stadium or arena shows, and club shows don't tend to go over 2 hr for a given performer.
17. Shortest show by a headliner?
Blues Control last weekend...they played for 15 minutes before hitting a hard curfew and were shut down. poor set time management.
some ancillary questions which could be added:
18. Have you ever been at a show which has been recorded and released?
The Melvins - Pick Your Battles
No-Neck Blues Band - The Birth of Both Worlds
19. What's the biggest band you saw in the smallest club?
Smashing Pumpkins @ TT the Bears (~250 ppl capacity club), pre-Gish
Pavement @ the Middle East upstairs (~190 ppl capacity), pre-S&E
Phish @ the Paradise (~500 ppl) in '89 i think. they rented the club themselves.
20. Bands you wanted to see but for whatever reason didn't/couldn't
Elvis Costello @ the Springfield Civic Center, '83 or so (show canceled due to poor ticket sales; The Police played Hartford CC the same night)
Bruce Springsteen in Saratoga (parents wouldn't let me go since it was my step-sister's high school graduation)
Spacemen 3 @ The Rat, '89 (they were denied work visas due to prior drug offenses and broke up before ever playing the US)
-
with pop punkish flare
and you lost me right there
gave proof through the night
Billie Joe has MILF hair
brilliant.
-
not trying to be contentious, but the Buzzcocks were a better band than the Beatles, at least to me.
-
i saw them on the _only life_ tour in the early 90s, and then last year...they still sounded fantastic. i'm gonna catch their show @ ATP when they play the 1st record.
-
so i only saw two songs of the show on Monday but they were a highly polished entertainment machine...Gilman Street is a long ways away...

I just returned home from the WORLD PREMIERE of "British Steel". Dudes, my ears are ringing - but I had such a fantastic time!
The Priest came right out and did the whole LP right at the start. Halford had the crowd eating out of his hand. Still a great frontman. The whole band appeared to be having a great time. And the crowd was as cranked up as any crowd I've ever seen - they knew seeing these guys in a 2000 seat theatre was a special treat.
After the LP they wasted no time - went right into a savage "Ripper". Other highlights for me were Victim Of Changes, and Diamonds And Rust. They ended with the obligatory Another Thing Comin' that blew the roof off. I didn't a Green Manalishi, but wtf - it still was an explosive 100 minutes.
I emphatically agree..here's my review and a few shots:
-
I am getting the audio
email me with a request and ill send out a batch link (dont wana post it here unless I'm told I can?!?)
I might just do rapidshare..... definitely one of the easiest

a torrent site, like dimeadozen, would be more efficient for distribution.

and another thing, Kotche's an amazing drummer.

I'm pretty sure he was giving him some picks to give to the kids in the front row. Very cool!
agreed! that is very nice of Jeff.
-
after the 3rd or so song Jeff knelt down at the edge of the stage (John's side) and it looked like he said something to one of the photographers. did anyone catch what he said? i was @ nel's side and didn't notice him until he was done talking.

Sunday was a pretty special show, featuring Yo La Tengo in their Condo F*cks alter ego persona, along w/ a rare appearance of Nick Saloman (aka The Bevis Frond) and a rejuvenated Sleepyhead, as part of a benefit for WMBR, MIT's radio station. they ended the evening w/ a all-bands-on-stage cover of their friend Chris Knox's "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" which was an inspired choice, given the recent turn of events.
here's a photo of James ducking down to see Ira standing on the bar in the other room during the Tall Dwarf's cover.

Nick did acoustic and electric:
he was joined on stage by Mary Lou Lord for (you guessed it) "Lights Are Changing"
into the crowd!
fantastic show. more photos can be accessed here:

While I'm at it, here are a few more photos from the Seattle show
very cool!

Excellent, you must have had a press pass, unlike my undercover shots from the 3rd row?
yeah, i got approved about 12 hr prior to the concert! they had strange shooting restrictions too; there were only 4 shooters who were broken into two groups; group 1 shot songs 4 and 5, and i was in the 2nd group which shot songs 9 and 10. weird. unfortunately, she was much more animated during 'taut' (song 6) and the new title track (song 11).
If Giovanni Ferrario isn't an alias for Howe Gelb, then he must be his long lost twin. Any thoughts on that? I really thought it was Howe, and he obviously has a connection with PJ.it's funny...i'd read that Howe was playing the NYC show, but didn't really see any shots from it. here's the best shot i got from 'Giovanni' and i'm not sold that it is Howe...but then again, i haven't seen him play boston since _Chore of Enchantment_ was just about out.

i saw it just under two weeks ago...fabulous stuff. here's the relevant scribblings and shutter actuation evidence:

even if you aren't a GBV fan i highly recommend watching this...one of the best rock documentaries i've ever seen.
-
i recorded this but haven't watched it yet. i know they were filming during the Boston performance i saw last year.
-
okay, so we have, doom metal, which is actually stoner rock. i find that interesting, since doom does not seem linked with getting high.
no, i would put stoner rock and doom into different categories.
doom is much slower...listen to early melvins for a taste of where that came from. stoner rock is definitely more 'rock' in its execution.
back on prog, i think i am gonna go see Van Der Graaf Generator this summer.

err, my mind went on me...nevermind.

A music legend in one of the most historic buildings baseball has to offer. perfect weather, too - the thunderstorms never appeared.
i only got to shoot 2 songs and then i got the bumrush out under the centerfield bleachers, but it was a cool experience. i hung outside for a bit to hear some more.
