Re: “Rodriguez w/Jenny O. at the Ryman, 5/13/13”
I don't know, man. I had a completely different takeaway on this show.
I'm posting this anonymously because I was graciously comped a ticket and don't want to come off to my provider as non-appreciative, but damn I thought this show sucked. Loved the film, loved the music in the film, but damn. Dude has some charisma but that backing band did absolutely nothing for me at all. The bass player did well enough try to reign in the other guys, but the drummer seemed like he was aimlessly switching grooves at all the wrong spots. Unfocused on the whole. Just insipid uninspired stuff. Rodriguez himself seemed most limber and "into it" on his clearly on-the-fly solo numbers. With the band, he seemed to play too much, but I guess it's hard to fall into a solid groove, tempo, what-have-you when there's not much back there to fall into. Again, I'm fortunate to have gone as a guest, but perhaps even more fortunate not to have paid $35.

"Bad Cop" was a lot better when it was called "turbo fruits".

Although I don't listen to old-timey music, this is very cool

Jack copied their colors, might as well copy their music.
Rufus!
Re: “Pere Ubu to Play Mercy Lounge Sept. 8”
Can't believe I sold my Pere Ubu box set of vinyl 7"s when I was hard-up for money. Dang!
Re: “Yes, Deerhunter Will Open for The Breeders Tomorrow Night at Cannery Ballroom”
I have a ticket to this show and have to go out of town tomorrow morning. So pissed to miss this show, been looking forward to it for months. I've tried to get rid of the ticket but can't find anyone and don't want it to go to waste.
$20 to the first person to email me - saves you $5 in fees.

Re: “T. Rust w/Shy Guy, The Switchblade Kid & Blank Range at The End 5/10/13”
Tobin,
I grew up a hippie. Everyone's doing their best in the reform effort.
Re: “T. Rust w/Shy Guy, The Switchblade Kid & Blank Range at The End 5/10/13”
I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a music reviewer who isn't familiar with Slowdive.
Re: “T. Rust w/Shy Guy, The Switchblade Kid & Blank Range at The End 5/10/13”
Irrelevant to this post, but was it common knowledge that Deerhunter is opening for the Breeders tomorrow night?!
Re: “Free Show Alert: Turbo Fruits, Ri¢hie, Tipper Whore, and Ben Spinks Supermelt on Saturday Night”
the whole "shtick" with richie is that he looks fucking funny, playing "sexy man chromeo esque "girl a can ya move ya feet uh OW" with guitars" nashville flavored cowboy hat rock (not a diss, i bump richie.) PLUS he is really tall, imagine him getting down to some funk music. its funny to think about sexy man richie just like "owe girl letmeseeya get down! ow!"
yeah, richie motherfucker. richie to the fucking moon and back and suck a old hard boiled egg is you don't think he's down to show ya'll a funky fucking time. last time i watched him i played i got layed 3 times, i came once in the b-room, once in the car with this chick named stacey, and once when he played.
GET DOWN!
(btw, i like richie.)
Re: “Kris Kristofferson explores the limits of authenticity on his latest, Feeling Mortal”
I think Feeling Mortal is brilliant. There are those the get Kristofferson, and appreciate the honesty and the spirit of his music. Then there are those who don't and you are one of those.......too bad, because you are really missing out. He's amazing!
Re: “Free Show Alert: Turbo Fruits, Ri¢hie, Tipper Whore, and Ben Spinks Supermelt on Saturday Night”
Brief update:
Late yesterday afternoon, Ben Weber reached out to us, mentioning that the home where the show will take place is, in fact, a working studio called OUR House. Appears that several forthcoming releases have been tracked there, so we'll be on the lookout for more from OUR House in the near future.
One more word of caution: as is often the case with house shows, the order is subject to change, so make sure to get there early to catch whoever you want to see. Be safe out there, wherever you fare, folks!
Re: “Kris Kristofferson explores the limits of authenticity on his latest, Feeling Mortal”
Kris' music has evolved and if anyone takes the time to listen to it for any length of time, they'd know that. He is a poet of the highest order and his songwriting is legendary. To each his own, of course, but I strongly disagree with nashvillescene's commentary. Still, I believe in freedom of speech, even if the words are hogwash.

Re: “Old Spice: Spice Girls in Spice World, This Weekend's Belcourt Midnight Movie”

Re: “Don't Miss Avant-Jazz Legend Matthew Shipp with Lambchop Saturday at VFW”
I was at that show in 2006. It was pretty mindblowing

Re: “Third Man Records to Release Sun Records Reissue Series, Beginning With Rufus Thomas, The Prisonaires and Johnny Cash”
