Oil Can Boyd

I got balcony tickets for the show in Boston. At first I was bummed but now I feel fortunate. There are already 47 people on eBay selling tickets for the show, and some are going for pretty steep prices.

DJ RIP

I think you answered your own question ...

I wouldn't exactly call the EP version "slow ass" but I totally agree with the statement above. However they play it, it is a great song.

This is one of my favorite books ever:

I always think of Mountain Jam as the Dark Star equivalent.

Me too.

I heard the Violent Femmes in a Wendy's commercial last night.

As my son used to say, "are you true?" I like Bonnie Prince Billy but I can't imagine he has sold 500,000 copies of anything ...

My wife and I met at the Brattle Theater (seeing Casablanca).

Then maybe I'll give it another try. Hasn't done much for me so far ...

The Hype Machine: Hype Machine

That is my favorite Stones' song.

They are definitely a couple but I didn't know they were married. If you see the DVD of their last tour (Tell Me Do You Miss Me), you see them living together.

I'd give Nixon a listen before you give up on them.

I love that book ...

Although in retrospect it looks like a big freakin' overreaction, it's a tough position for the authorities. If it turns out to be nothing they look stupid, and if they ignore it and it turns out to be real, they look stupid. I have heard (and read) a number of people say "the police are stupid for reacting the way they did. But I'm glad they took it seriously."

Not to be too picky but Brighton is part of Boston. The Agganis and Paradise are just across the street from the Brookline town line ...

I almost put the 2/13/70 Dark Star ...

My favorite song is Tangeld Up In Blue. There. I said it.

Wow. That is quite a spike. If my daughter (Betsey, born in 1998) had been a boy she was probably going to be named Owen.
