if you are in atlanta, you will be able to find me at the warm in the wake show tonight at the star bar this fine evening. so, if you see me say hey or whatever and if you dont know what i look like, i will be a white sox hat of some variety. i wrote about em a few months ago if you want to check em out.
speaking of the sox. i would have given just about anything to be at comiskey this week when buehrle pitched his no-no. in case you missed it here are the 27 batters he faced on his way to a place in the record books.
in other news, what the hell has happened to jennings and rbally? has anyone sent out a search party or been in contact with him lately?
this past week i have been a huge uncle tupelo kick, which happens with great frequency. i have been particularly mesmerized by the recording of their final performance which happened on 5.1.94 in st louis at mississippi nights. for those of you in attendance, i am of course jealous cause it must have been a magical evening.
thank goodness for wgn! i was about to subject myself to watching some bad fear.net movie on comcast when i noticed that my sox were playin the cubs. perfect television for a particularly chilly/lazy sunday afternoon here in atlanta. i will say this, the cubs have bought themself a pretty fine team this year, and if they dont make it to the playoffs, i dont think they ever will again. as for my boys, they have an outstanding team too, i just hope they can win 95+ games this year. hopefully that will be good enough to get them back to the playoffs. frankly, i think the twins and the tigers were flukes last year.
in other news, the new wilco, sky blue sky, is an interesting listen. i dont know what i was expecting but it definitely wasn’t the songs that make up said record. so, my first listen was not one of pure enjoyment, in fact i think i wasnt very psyched at all. the second listen definitely unfurled a few gems, most notably the latter half of the record including “hate it here,” “walken” and “what light.” there is this weird grateful dead and steely dan vibe that is kinda hard to get past, but also makes the recording kinda endearing.
todays offering is a killer bleach era performance recorded live @ the bling pig in ann arbor, michigan. its not the greatest sound quality, but the energy is pretty spectacular.
