of all the shows i have been witness to, none really compare to the almost religious experience that was a 16 horsepower show. david eugene edwards was akin to a snake handling preacher when he was onstage - you can kind of get a sense his fervor by the above photo.
here they are on some radio station in amsterdam on 1.26.00.
hola amigos! time for nighty nighty for yours truly. so whilst i am laying my head, dig on this very cool ween show from the enmore theatre in sydney on 3.1.08 - its a fm broadcast, btw.
thanks everyone for the well wishes and such. so, last night at about 2.30 am lily marie was born. everyone is doing just fine. its amazing how much you forget between child one and child two. both of us were acting like we have never done this shit before, but mac was born 3.5 years ago and its all such a blur now. until later…
mogwai seems kind of appropriate for tonight. so, here is a 3.11.98 fm broadcast.
i dont believe i have ever heard heard a les savy fav song and i am not sure why. have always heard great things about em, but we have yet to meet up until now. are they really indie rock’s best live band? i only ask cause that’s what the press release proclaims. anyway, the only real reason i even ventured forward was cause attached to said email/press release was a cover of superchunk’s “precision auto,” which i of course i had to check out. i can say that it sounds like “precision auto” but nothing special to be honest. i digress, on 4.29 les savy fav is releasing a digital only copy of their new years eve show from the bowery which they have entitled after the ball drops. they do a bunch of cool covers, i must admit, which include pixies’ “debaser,” nirvana’s “sliver,” misfit’s “astro zombies,” and a couple more. should be worth checkin out, even for a non fan like myself. here be a few live performances from the archives. for you fans out there where would one start with in regards to the les savy fav catalogue?
i was at this pearl jam show which took place at the metro all the way back on 3.28.92. i was but a wee lad, all of 18, and was under the influence of mushrooms, which just so happened to be my first time indulging in such an activity. i wasn’t that fond of it, to be honest, and i only took shrooms one other time. i really didnt want to the second time but it was a matter of getting laid or going home alone - i chose the former. what i remember of that night is that we walked from what used to be the damen, on the corner of damen and roscoe, to her apartment on lake and around ashland - which is a pretty decent walk @ 3 am especially 12 years ago when some of those areas of chicago weren’t what they are today. forgive my reminiscing, this is the xrt broadcast of said show, but not the entire show.
note to self: next time you purchase a dresser from ikea plan on investing close to 4 hours putting it together and need a nap afterwards.
anyone know what happened to rbally yet again?
here be spoon on 1.23.08 @ the enmore theatre, in newtown, sydney, australia. it’s a fm broadcast, fyi. btw, they have a new remix ep of “dont you evah” which features remixes by ted leo, matthew dear and a few other choice artists. btw part II, it looks as if merge has a new download store, which looks awesome/not good for my budget. anyway, check out the spoon store here. btw, part III the rosebuds are offering up a free remixed version of their night of the furies via the merge store. dont think i ever listened to the rosebuds, but i guess now is my chance.
hey if you are in atlanta, mike doughty of soul coughing fame is playing at criminal this fine evening @ 7 pm.
leonard cohen is one of my main dudes. although i havent really talked about him up until now, my love remains unwavering. not much can really be said about him that hasnt been more eloquently stated thousands of times before. so, in lieu of doing him and his craft a grave disjustice, i’ll just leave you with this show from oslow, norway recorded on 5.1.93. its an fm broadcast, and thus probably not the entire show.
****if you are frequenter to this here joint you know it has issues dealing with safari. i think i may have solved that issue. so, if you are using safari, or have safari handy, please try and download something and let me know what happens. just leave a comment, if you could be so kind******
sup, go-tards? while your here make sure to check out the new sera cahoone and alan sparhawk, ex-low and now retribution gospel choir, stuff i posted over the week ends.
huh? what? pavement reunion? you gotta be kidding me? love how malkmus says he wants a one off and ibold wants to get back on that train. what the hell is ibold doing now anyway? still a ways off, 2009, but hopefully more info will unfurl by the summer.
back in 93 i was all over the gin blossoms’ new miserable experience. even to this day i pull out from time to time and dig on it. its simply just a great little pop/rock record, nothing more, nothing less. if you are around my age, 33, and deny ever singing along to “allison road” or “found out about you,” your a god damn liar.
here they are at shooters on 4.26.92, i think shooters maybe in cleveland cause they mention the flats. sorry i didnt do any research as to the venue, and i should note that its a fm broadcast. if you know where shooters is, let a brotha know.
