well, new orleans officially kicked my ass. my will is strong but the beer flows too easily and apparently pretty cheaply, too. met some cool people, and saw some interesting shit. i rolled into town at about 6 pm which was about 3 hours later than i had hoped too. i was fuckin tired and really didnt expect to see 8 pm, but the wife talked me into venturing further into the night. wrong move, dear. although, i spent most of the night at this joint the copper monkey which was pretty cool and just so happens to local hangout for strippers or as they like to be refered to, “dancers.” the bartender mel, was a delight and oh so adorable. i got into some random conversations with these ladies that looked much, much older than their years. i had some broad ask me if i was gay, which was completely out of nowhere then proceeded to show me some pictures of her eye that she took with her cell phone. very random, indeed. saving you the rest of the of gory details, all i know is that at sometime in the wee hours of the morning i arrived back at my hotel with a steak, the spins, and a dire need to vomit. the next morning was not so much fun. nor, was the 7 hour drive that proceeded me.

hola, gaywads! hope everyone is enjoying their respective weekends. my 4 days off are coming to an abrupt end, with another 11 day stretch ahead of me. yeah.. hey mr. drunkard has the new my morning jacket “evil urges” available for your listening/downloading pleasure, here. i was, honestly, unimpressed with my first go around with it, but after a few more listens i am definitely diggin it - sounds almost like mmj fronted by prince. admittedly, i am still getting used to the more groove-centric mmj, as z did nothing for me the first 20 or so listens.

i am really liking this bowerbirds record, hymns for a dark horse. they remind me of early iron and wine, andrew bird and a more cohesive devendra banhart. check em out!

i am surprised i never heard of the pedaljets during their “hey day” of the late 80’s - they called it quits in 1990. they apparently opened for the likes of the replacements, husker du, flaming lips, meat puppets, etc and even had a video on heavy rotation on the late, great mtv classic 120 minutes. i think that actually still runs, but i am sure its as inconsequential as it has been for the last 15+ years. anyway, when their self-titled record was released back in 89, the band was none to happy with its production. fastforward, 17 years and they band got back together and decided to re-do the record with the original masters. they even re-recruited my man archer prewitt(sea and cake, the coctails) to do the cover artwork - he did the original cover art back in 89. it’s being re-released via oxblood on 5.6.

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.

1. the future

2. aint no cure for love

3. bird on the wire

4. everybody knows

5. first we take manhattan

6. avalanche

7. suzanne

8. tower of song

9. i cant forget

10. so long, marianne

11. sisters of mercy

12. dance me to the end love
