Oil Can Boyd

Arlington representing! (And born and raised in Cambridge ...)

Someone told me that when you get a bad song stuck in your head, start singing Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. It usually works for me.

I was going to give the exact same answer. More than any other REM album it reminds me of a very specific time and place.

At Newbury Comics (in Boston) I got the CD, DVD, and two song single for $17.99.

Started this last night. It's pretty grim so far ...

But what a freakin' ending!

What? I never knew such a thing existed. I'll have to track it down ...

I am partial to Changing of the Guards.

That strikeout/pickoff double play in the first was pretty sweet.

Zen Arcade New Day Rising Flip Your Wig Candy Apple Grey Warehouse And those were all recorded within a three year period ...

Robyn Hitchcock - I Often Dream of Trains

For me it is every 2/13 ...

Dice-K - what's with all the freakin' walks?

That is the first version I heard and I was immediately a fan. I like other versions more (including the 1969 Live mentioned elsewhere) but I still love that one.

Good call. He was cruising for a while, then it got a little bumpy.

With Moving Targets opening!

The first and only time I have worn ear plugs was at their show a year or so ago. I probably should have worn them to some Husker Du/Bob Mould shows ...

I agree. I am happy about how much I like this album.

Amen ...

His wife ...

That would be correct.

One of my colleagues and I were grumbling about Wily Mo Pena yesterday afternoon. Guess that paid off ...

Monster Mash was my first favorite song. RIP

I was excited about that tour but when I heard it was at Agganis I decided not to go.
