Passed away from brain cancer. He was a phenomenal keyboard player. He will be missed. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-pianist-conway-savage-dead-at-58-718568/

Saw the Foo Fighters last night & sadly wasn't too impressed. It had been a real long time since I'd seen them. It was the Dave & Taylor show. Rest of the band seemed a bit disengaged. As a guitar player, Dave is an excellent drummer. Krist Novoselic's new band was opener 1 & were horrible. A friend said it was what she imagines the Manson family would've sounded like if they had recorded an album in the 60s. Krist did come out with the Foos for a rousing version of "Molly's Lips". Highlight of the show for me. The second opener was the Joy Formidable. I liked them a real lot &

excellent

its really great. gets better with each listen a new Spiritualized is always a good thing!

this isn't precisely metal but close enough. the new alice in chains record is real, real good. i gave it a listen & am going to buy.

nice tribute to the queen of soul from patterson hood https://bittersoutherner.com/the-houses-aretha-built-patterson-hood

scored some good tix for Echo & the Bunnymen in November. have never seen them.

on the opposite end of the spectrum: at the Pearl Jam show Friday, Eddie Vedder came out solo for first encore & did "I Won't Back Down". Asked everyone to hold their phones up. All of Safeco Field was lit up by 40000 + phones. It looked awesome. Pretty sure there is video up youtube of it.

don't bring your phone, jack won't like it!

the man can definitely play

cool, stay in touch. i have a friend from vancouver who is coming down for both of those shows, too. i used to travel for shows but its tough nowadays. there's a few that i would do it for if i could.

bruce saves the heathen europeans....

what & miss "africa"!?!?!?!?!?

i'm resting up for pearl jam next friday & sub pop's spf 30 next saturday. very excited to see beach house @ spf 30!

Nice! I saw them last October & they were pretty good. Enjoy!

nice! bring your hearing protection. "you made me realize" is literally like standing next to running jet engine.

getting excited for this. in less than 2 weeks seeing pearl jam on friday night & then this on saturday:

seeing them early september. looking forward to it. this band is working hard!

Looking forward to night 2 @ Safeco Field. Only bummer is have to miss a free Afghan Whigs show as part of the Sub Pop 30th anniversary celebration. The day after is a huge free show at the beach with a bunch of cool bands (Beach House: yes!). Wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of Pearl Jam affiliated appearance there. The 25th anniversary, Soundgarden played unannounced.

so good to have a good news story for a change. RIP for the rescuer who died.

Indeed. Prayers up.

trent!

what can i say? buddy is still the man!

after much trouble i got first balcony tix for seattle. evidently bob seger tix went on sale at the same time & ticketbastard kept crashing. interesting, the venue is all seated but the show was GA by tier (floor, 1st balcony, 2nd balcony). luckily, they had a caveat about ADA seating. supposed to talk to the venue staff on arrival & they will seat me in a roped off section. should be ok. bad things going on with me & mobility & sadly i can't go to shows without ADA seating.
