if i was in UK, i would not miss it. can't make it to their sole US show in Chicago this year, hopefully some more in the future if Tony is recovering sufficiently.

Tonight is lee ranaldo. The good/bad thing is that he is opening for m.ward. Bad because he should headline, but good brcause I work at 3am. So...I won't be getting much sleep tonight. Doesn't bother me too much though because. It's lee fucking ranaldo.

I saw Thee Oh Sees yesterday and would recommend it to everyone.
They're spot on from beginning to end, and they play quite perfectly (what a drummer...).

^ I think they're playing Pitchfork this year...which I do plan on attending.



But yeh...this Sunday is Radiohead.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse , Oct 17 Hollywood Bowl
Paid a lot, one of my faves, will record

Dwyer is pretty great on that 12 string, too, nest past? Does he dance on the table and spill drinks still?

Next up for me is Noise a tron and Wreck and Reference. Not much happens in Tiny Town...........

BITCHES

Just back from it. Excellent. I think I got a fair recording. I won't now be going to Kitty, Daisy & Lewis tomorrow, but still on for the rest (and maybe one or two besides)

I just found out deerhoof is playing a free show tomorrow...


I really want to go....but I think I might just sleep instead

I think I need to see the Melvins live for the first time ever. Also, Swans with Xiu Xiu. That seems like a fun concert to attend.

Do et.




Also...fuck it. I took a nep, I think I'm gonna go see deerhoof.
