Oil Can Boyd

All the shows I saw were from '80-'86 and the only stuff I listen to anymore is '69-'72 ...

Tom Petty covering Friend of the Devil last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QiZtVyIYQ-w#!

Me too. So far, so good.

A highly messed up freaks coffee mug!?!? Nice ...

Spin's list of the "100 greatest drummers of alternative music": http://www.spin.com/articles/best-drummers-list-alternative-music/ Glenn's #30. Like any list, some good choices and some weird ones ...

Band on the Run slowed down mixed with Imagine sped up ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-exDVEEpuYM

I know Mould has been playing the Stratocaster for a while but I still expect to see the Flying V.

Not any more: http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1558326/flaming-lips-do-you-realize-no-longer-oklahoma-state-rock-song

Not sure which old hockey thread to dust off but what an amazing finish to the Bruins-Leafs game last night! Bruins score three goals in the last ten minutes - including two in the last 80 seconds - to tie the game and then score in OT to win. Craziness ...

He is all of those things but it occurred to me recently that what he really is is the ultimate troll. He's an internet troll only he does it via a print newspaper.

Buffalo Tom

The title track came up on shuffle this morning so I went back and listened to the whole thing. It's a good one.

Was supposed to go see the Feelies but it was postponed due to the ongoing manhunt ...

William Tyler - Impossible Truth Mentioned this elsewhere but saw him live last night and he blew me away. Layered guitar pieces with beautiful melodies.

Saw William Tyler last night (opening for a band in Boston) and he blew me away. What a talent. I bought both of his CDs and chatted with him a bit.

It's been a weird 12 hours in the Boston area. I was out in Central Square in Cambridge (about a half mile from where they shot the MIT police officer) seeing a friend's band last night and I started getting texts about a shooting near MIT. As I was getting ready to go home (about 12:30) there was a text about avoiding the MIT area. The drive home was a little crazy. As I got close to the Charles River there was a steady stream of police cars. I must have seen about 40 or 50 police vehicles all racing past with their sirens on. The guys had hijacked a car and I guess the driver escaped at

Ugh - Kinski on at 11:30 ...

I've got the Feelies Friday night so I'm hoping tonight isn't too late ...

Kinski!

Weird day in the Boston area. Hard to separate fact from fiction while it was happening. I'm a few miles away in Cambridge but there were still lots of sirens and a big police presence while I was leaving tonight.

Bill Janovitz (from Buffalo Tom) - Walt Whitman Mall

Apparently "Do You Realize" is no longer the official state rock song of Oklahoma: http://pitchfork.com/news/50300-the-flaming-lips-do-you-realize-no-longer-the-official-state-rock-song-of-oklahoma/

I am reading Rick Moody's novel Garden State and I had a funny realization last night. I have only seen the tail end of the Zach Braff movie called Garden State but I thought they were related. They are both about depressed, detached kids in suburban New Jersey who listen to music, take drugs, and try to figure out their lives. As I read the first half of the novel, I kept waiting for it to connect to the part of the movie that I had seen. I finally looked it up and realized that they have no connection ...

Pretty spotty list with some great stuff and also some big holes - but that's inevitable. I was only at one of the shows on his list (Augusta Maine 1984) and while it was a great show, I'm not even sure it was the best one I ever saw.

Yeah, it (Kinski's Cosy Moments) is really good. Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw a bunch of short songs but they fit in nicely. Looking forward to the show.
