word tattoos are the worst, imo.

shit... i've seen thousands of shows. how am i supposed to limit that to ten? off the top of my head, i'll give it a shot. Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 @ The Midway, Boston 2011. pretty surreal for one of my favorite bands to do a hometown warmup show for a festival that would be across the Atlantic. and it was a reunion show... they hadn't played in years. thankfully their drummer lives in Boston and it was a convenient location, and they played twice as long as their festival set. Saw them plenty of times back in the day and they still sound utterly unique. Funny anecdote - someone

he's back in the lineup but played on a stool for pretty much the entire show, aside from standing up to play a sax on two songs.

i felt like a spring chicken at tonight's X show.

they were excellent a couple of weeks ago.

the indifference of the music press to the genius of Howe Gelb continues.

you must be a blast at parties.

it's not a surprise, and i wasn't questioning the DNC's non-support for Bernie. Maybe i'm wrong, but it seemed like all the superdelegate votes were counted right up front, regardless when their state primary happened.

that is true, but it's also true that many of the SDs pledged for Hillary just as the race was starting, and the totals made it look really lopsided in her favor, when in fact it wasn't. people like to hop on the winner's wagon, and i think that definitely had some effect.

i liked them at Newport. bluesy rock action, but different from Black Keys. less bombast.

camping is cheap, right?

plenty of ways to address that musical blind spot, wrt to these bands. some really great musicians here, albeit as bbop said, off the road and into the ditch.

the cover art of Schmilco is awesome.

this is probably better than the last couple of Solid Sound lineups.
