St. Patricks Pogues Show

[music | Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With The Night]

Pogues at Avalon. Perfect time of year to see a band I've wanted to see since I was old enough to care about decent music. Every 6 months there is another report about how Shane MacGowan should be deader than Keith Richards, and I always worried I'd never get my chance to see this.

Creepy Rock Lullabies

[music | Siouxsie & The Banshees - Peek-A-Boo]

Everyone should check out Baby Rock Records "Rockabye Baby!" instrumental re-interpretations of modern rock artists. We have the Tool one and just got the Nine Inch Nails one today. They're super creepy (especially the Tool CD). We don't have kids. I guess that makes us creepy too.

Some of these are really recent, some not, just stuff I've been meaning to post up. And a couple of photos of Natalie's latest fun project.

mc chris - Harpers Ferry

Well, I haven't felt like that big a dork in quite a while...

...and I'm a pretty big dork.

Show was about what I expected, music wise. It was way too treble heavy though, which kind of bugged me.

One thing I didn't expect was the crowd. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but it was the most polite, well behaved, tidy, obedient bunch of folks I've ever been around at a show. Maybe, maybe Rasputina, when they made us all sit on the floor so everyone could see, could even come close.

Hanzel und Gretyl photos

[music | Front 242 - Felines]

These actually came out really good. I attribute that to me being At. The. Stage and to the lighting being very photo-friendly, not to my camera phone which still sucks.

Primus + Rasputina

[music | Tweaker, Bauhaus, Voidoids, RevCo]

Dirty pothead hippies can be closeminded annoying drunken pricks as much as any jock. Thats the lesson taught by the crowd at Primus/Rasputina.

Alice in Chains - Lupo's

Tonight was Alice in Chains, obvious possible reservations there, but it was good, much better than I expected.

"I dunno, '0'?"

[music | New York Dolls - Looking For a Kiss]

An email I just sent to our internal team. I've finally grown tired of getting several calls a week looking for baseball player guy, or Cheri. Many times I'll strike up a convo with whoever is on the other end. They end up asking "do you play baseball? Do you know X?" What, seriously, are the odds that I would *KNOW* whoever used to have my phone number?
