Some photos from last weekend’s Newport Folk Festival, from a roundup that I did for my main gig.
I was stunned to find out you can’t embed Flickr galleries. Pictobuilder was by far the easiest widget I found. Thanks to Diego for creating it! You have to hover over “notes” in order to see captions.

sometime last week i woke up with james’ “out to get you” playing in my head. i hadnt listened to laid in probably 5 years or so, but of course i then had to revisit it. cant remember off the top of my head when it came out but i know it was in the early 90’s, but it still sounds really fuckin good. maybe later on today i will whip out the hard drive to find a few tracks from it.
i have come to the decision to start breaking out posts in two categories. the two being shows and new/older stuff. so, when i post a show i wont talk about anything else and when i talk about new and older stuff i wont be posting a show. got it? just thought i’d let ya know. not that it really makes much of a difference, it will just make it easier on me.
any who, here is a lovely recording of rick danko at nightstages in cambridge, mass on 5.14.88. “it makes no difference” is awesome, btw.

as you may or may not have noticed a lot of files arent available at the moment. i am working on uploading them at this time for i have changed hosting providers yet again. i got issues i know. i think, though, that i have finally found a home that will suit this place. i will be uploading tons of stuff today so just check back later tonite. if its older than 2 - 3 months it may not be uploaded but if you want it just contact me and i will attempt to locate it for you.
i often find myself pondering over many musical situations. one of them being, “if i could go back in time who would i go and see live?” i go back and forth, of course, but i always go back to wanting to see the band for some reason. sure, i love their music but its not like i am the hugest fan. i think its cause i find them and their place in musical history quite fascinating on many levels.
here they are playing on 8.16.76 @ the carter baron amphitheatre in washington, dc. its a lovely soundboard recording.

in other news, i am on a serious sarah silverman kick as of late. her show is so freakin wrong but i havent laughed so hard and so frequently in a long ass while - even if i feel kinda bad laughing at things like “i wish the retarded were re-smarted.”
im doing shit, maybe
