This week rollcall

so Grizzly Bear was a snoozefest?


Bummer..two of my friends went..

They were a snoozefest back in 2009. People who saw them Thursday enjoyed it.


And go with Corin Tucker.

my thinking:

i don't know.. I've seen Corin Tucker at least five times with Sleater going back to their early shows at the Black Cat (97 or so)….

Never seen the Wallflowers… I loved the first two Wallflowers records but hated the third and stopped listening..so that was a very long time ago.. what do the Wallflowers have going for them.. well Jakob DYLAN..yeah, the son of my favorite musician..his voice kind of sounds a little like Bob's….. also Jack Irons, I think, on drums… no slouch.. .I could get him to sign my Vitalogy LP..its something..


On the other hand I've heard good things about corin tucker's new album.. her show costs less.. and I've missed her since I last saw Sleater

it will probably be a game time decision IF i decide to go based on whether tickets are still available..

I realize the Wallflowers are about as hip as macaroni and cheese but I don't care.

Corin Tucker Wednesday (Saw her last time too and she was great)

Orioles today, saturday, and sunday.

Loved the Dirty Three.  It'd been way too long since I saw them (1997 and 2003).  Also, they need to leave the keyboard at home.

Do they still have all the awesome intros to their songs?  Best between song banter ever.

Yes! Warren Ellis is a funny motherfucker.
Magik Markers were great, too. Weirdest possible setting in which to see them.
That was a fun and exhausting six nights.
Looking forward to sleeping a full two.


Native Cats Wednesday
Saint Vitus/Weedeater/Sourvein Thursday
Sonic Circuits early evening show Friday
Maybe Afghan Whigs or David J Friday night
Sonic Circuits day show Saturday and Sunday.
Possibly something else Saturday night.


Wish I could afford the Sonic Circuits nightcaps.

Grimes/Elite Gymnastics on Saturday at U St
Looking forward to being the official 'old man at the club'

Well, I like both Grimes and EG, I didn't pay for their albums, and both sets will be short so can't really lose. Plus, I did see a random Youtube of a Grimes show and it looked like a really fun freak show.

oh well if it is possible i will do it…..thanks..

I will look into it..

Comet usually run very late. Depending on how long the Afghan Whigs play, you might be able to hit both.

Morbid Angel tonight.
Mark Kozelek on Thursday.

I'll be rocking out to Saint Vitus on Thursday. Weedeater and Sourvein opening shall make for a filthy time!

I wish I liked St Vitus more– they're OK, but I saw them at Deathfest this year and on the Metalliance tour last year (opening for Helmet) and I just don't need to see them again so soon.

Seeing David J (bassist from Bauhaus and Love & Rockets) tomorrow in Richmond.
