its only about 5 minutes in and i already had to turn off the irish and michigan game. my irish not lookin so good. in fact, downright embarrassing. then to add insult to injury i turn on the red sox/yankees game and jeter knocks one out off josh beckett. i hate, nay, loathe derek jeter.
for those in the atlanta area, mark your google calendars for 10.5 for my man adam franklin, formerly of swervedriver, is coming to town for a show at the earl and an instore at criminal earlier in the evening. his new record, bolts of melody, is quite grand.
he’s got a shitload of other dates coming up. so, check his site or myspace for dates.
if you were to write out a top 20 list of your favorite bands and if this list includes the likes of echo and the bunnymen, joy division, roxy music, and maybe the cure then the men of boston’s junius just may be your thang. their new self titled record is out on 10.9.
in 1990 mother love bone’s apple was like manna from heaven to these 16 year old ears. the strange thing about recalling memories is that its easy to describe what you were feeling but more difficult to explain why you were feeling it. such is the case with apple. i remember being absolutely enamored by it, but dont really remember why. so, to get to the bottom of this, i pulled it out the other day and tried to recall, only this time with 33 year old ears. to say the experiment was a failure would do apple a grave injustice, but for the life of me i really cant pinpoint what i loved about it so. it’s still a great record, even if it time has not been overly kind to it, but you just have to put the time and place it was recorded all into perspective.
here they are performing in seattle on 1.3.90 @ the vogue
