Car Wheels on a Gravel Road--Lucinda Williams

followed by

Adore--Smashing Pumpkins

my buddy Derek(alot of folks met him @ my pigroast) got me copies of the Widespread Panic show I saw on the 15th of July @ the Chicago theatre, as well as the next 2 nights, beautiful soundboard recordings.

7/15/2010: great Wondering > Blackout Blues to kick off the first set, and a really nice/incredible transition from Flickr into Pleas in the second set.

I dont think there is a better band touring nowdays, and WSP is the only band Ill pay to see.

LAYLA... you got me on my knees... LAYLA...

I love WSP but for my money, there is no better touring band these days than Phish. People tend to either love them or loathe them. There are not too many folks in between. I'm psyched to be seeing them this Saturday and Sunday at Alpine Valley.

Phish and particularly Trey are good, some of their songs are just a little too "silly" for me. They sure can play though.

Alpine Valley is a great venue as well, have fun.

"Tacos are cheap, but pizza is expensive..."
Stuck in my head from years ago when a friend left it on my machine (he was at concert; I wasn't)
I guess it's a food song

I've been finding excellent stuff on Youtube, like this long-play version of "Smells like Teen Spirit," by Patti Smith:



Hey, I ever tell you about the time I had a burger with Patti in '71? Kalamazoo, Michigan. She was a frail little thing who spat a lot.

After I saw Dresden Dolls perform this at the Vic a few years ago, I dispatched The Wife to deliver a message to the Amanda Palmer (my daughter knows her, thus a connection): "My husband says you are a Venus Medusa." I am told she smiled as though she understood and liked that, and I imagine that reaction as I listen to/watch to this:

Thelonious Monk at Newport 7/3/64, from Wolfgang's Vault.

Saw Monk play in Old Town circa 1968 -- he kept wandering offstage, higher than Georgia pine, but it was a most memorable experience..for a matinee.

Blue by Joni Mitchell

She still sounded wonderful then before cigarettes have made her sound like a drag queen

Urbie Green and 21 trombones

This 1967 recording brought the then vibrant NYC studio recording industry to a standstill, when every first call trombonist in town showed up to record this classic album. DClose, an LTH'er and fine trombonist, please chime in.

I cant get this WSP show out of my cd player right now. Probably been in there for 2 straight weeks of daily listening. The first set "Stop Go" & the second set starter "All Time Low" have really become revelations not noticed live.

Jimmy Herrings Allman Brothers esque, day dream inducing guitar playing, Sonny's brilliant percussion, and JB's soulfull lyrics make for some great listening

Reverse Thread, the new album by jazz/world violinist Regina Carter. Wonderful.

She's now engaged to Neil Gaiman, which makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time.

I have a weakness for thin voices (cf. Chet Baker):



Also enjoying Sex Pistols version of "Not Your Stepping Stone."

Is that on an official release or some kind of bootleg?

It's an Amazon download. I think it was official...or as official as this band ever got.

It was on the Flogging a Dead Horse compilation, don't know if it was released in any other form.

IPod on shuffle

"Go Your Own Way"...Fleetwood Mac, who pulled off one of the great switcheroos of all time going from a 4-bar blues band to a pop-rock powerhouse. How does Lindsey Buckingham get those sounds from his geetar without a pick?

"I Don't Wanna Go Home"...Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, a great bar band from NJ with a full horn line. If you like Springsteen's really early stuff you'll like Southside Johnny Lyons.

"Cry, Cry, Cry"...Johnny Cash's first #1

"Surprise, Surprise"...The Rolling Stones, recorded in Chicago around 1964-65 at Chess studios on Michigan Avenue

"One's All The Law Will Allow"...The Planet Rockers featuring Eddie Angel, perfect rockabilly from a band that mostly performed in Europe

Symphony No. 3, Johannes Brahms
Chicago Symphony Orchestra led by Daniel Barenboim

The DVD, Conducting Mahler , directed by Frank Scheffer, documents the interpretations of Gustav Mahler's compositions by conductors Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti, Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle, who detail the special relationship they have with Mahler's work.
