ms. yvon

thanks, rich! i've been hearing his name around but had no idea what his music was like.

AWESOME, JULES!! will be a booty-shakin' good time! i keep wondering if going to just one day of coachella to see them is worth it...yes yes yes!

ok, had a bit of scheduling luck: although jr's residency is the SAME WEEK as the largo-coronet is opening (godDAMMIT!), the helio sequence is playing the week AFTER. man, caught a break on that one. i was starting to develop a cramp.

and tommy! some of the best moments of their shows are watching tommy working with jojo... *sigh*

BRILLIANT!! 2nd request: Having a Party with back to back sam cooke you've got no complaints!

sounds GREAT allison! for the record: playing off the cpu -> stereo 1/4"->mackie 16 ch -> big fat event speakers in my edit bay boy, the joy is just pouring out of this!! and mart's voice when he sings the word "pioneers" just slays!

knowing this neighborhood, there may not be a starbucks, but there will be a kosher market. also: NO SOCKS! (california in june, and all )

i recommend starting with the late 80's rounder records lps: -having a party with jonathan richman and the modern lovers -modern lovers 88 -i, jonathan -jonathan goes country or: -jonathan sings -rockin and romance i adore this man's music. have seen him countless times and danced my socks off and had my heart touched at every show. this quote may be overstating it...from a seattle reporter: "there are two types of people in the world: jonathan richman fans, and those who don't know yet that they are jonathan richman fans." am due to pick it up today! the last time i saw hi

June 4-7 at the Mint in los angeles Jonathan for FOUR NIGHTS!! in a tiny tiny place!! well, i am just about as happy as can be.

CONGRATULATIONS, Q23!! what a doll! as far as names go, i've always been a fan of "willie mays" for boys.

glad you can make it!! my plans for the kentucky show: ! i'll send you a pm. wendy is also making the trip!

darn mid-week show!!

dude, after the show you attended, just about everything is going to seem a little pale. also: just got a sunday coachella ticket. oooooooh man. i don't want to miss even 40 min of mmj. "hello, my name is ms. yvon..."

worth pointing out

she is the proper ambassodor!

which way?

don't know how this came to be, but april 19 is independent record store day! stop in to your local and show your peeps some love! remember to wear a cool t-shirt and bring your own bag! *note to self: saturday is a perfect day for independent record store/beer crawl. fuck yes!*

last time i saw it, you'd left it next to the transmogrifier.

5.4 is no small quake. oof. the last quake we had in los angeles woke me up. i jumped out of bed, stood there in my pjs and thought, "i am so not prepared for this." also: in chicago last weekend as i was talking with the mccormicks/ramones about chicago winters vs. california's issues, trish said, "give me an earthquake any day." so, you can thank her.

"niche market" thanks everyone for the enthusiastic response to these! i was a little worried that they wouldn't go over so well. who knew?! perfect!

"missing out"
