Well, at least when he performs he gives you something more to look at than a dude diddling with a laptop. It's not much, but it's something.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Hec, have you gotten something in the mail from me yet?
Gig I was in the proper city to see but didn't know about and totally regret now: Blues Brothers and Cab Calloway at The Palladium while filming The Blues Brothers movie.
Gig I was too cheap to go to and regret: The Pogues at The Palace in Hollywood. Cait O'Riordan was still playing with them. I thought the ticket price was too high and wanted to see them at a smaller club. I had no idea how they were going to go up in popularity, nor that Cait would leave the band. I saw The Pogues a couple times subsequently, but never with that original line-up.
Artists I wish I had been placed/timed correctly to see: Hugely long list, but the semi-modern one would include Asha Bhosle in her prime, Beatles while performing in Merseyside clubs, Kate Bush, Tom Waits in that Rain Dogs period...
Totally bitchin' gig I was lucky to see: Benefit gig to spring Tom Jimmy and his wife from jail in OK. Cathay de Grande, Hollywood. Phranc, Black Flag, Fear, The Blasters, X, Tom Waits, and The Rhythm Pigs. The Minutemen might have been on the bill as well, but I'd have to check my archives for the flyer.
Another lucky gig: The Fleshtones at The Edge in San Jose, CA. In the mid-90s sometime. Hardly anyone showed up for the gig and the band didn't let it phase them at all. They used the extra space to allow them to jump on and off the stage, walk through the audience, shimmy with us, etc. Kicked ass.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I got to go to the first Amnesty International concert (its the second one that was a publicised bfd). Bono and Sting did an Invisible Sun duet and... The Police reunited. It was sublime. That tour might have been the last time they did it and they didn't do it at all the shows.

Ouch. That hurts just reading it. But huzzah on The Fleshtones! Peter Zaremba is the floppy haired man! (Keith Streng is also the man. The man with the guitar and the strong arrangement skills.)

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
lmost as much as they talked about the Cibbo Matto show at the bottleneck a few years later where Sean Lennon got ripped and bought the whole bar drinks and took pictures with everyone and then took everybody (I mean everybody at the show) to another bar down the street...
I had friends who went to that show! To corroborate tina's story, they all had pictures with Sean to show off the next day. I didn't listen to Sean or Cibbo Matto and still don't, but still really, really wish I'd been there, just from the descriptions.

I adore The Fleshtones. They're so damned much fun.

Not yesterday. Though I did get an OOP CD copy of Opal's Happy Nightmare Baby in the mail yesterday.
It's probably waiting for me at home. Yay!

Sweet.
Spidra! Got the package and am uploading now. Many thanks - I'm so happy to have this tuff. Plus the fun extras. Do you have the tracklisting handy? I could probably go look it up.
Back from Amoeba where I tried to stick to the cutouts. Got Marty Timony's Golden Dove, The Very Best of Todd Rundgren (Rhino) and Imperial Drag, each for $4.99.
Is Buffistarawk back up and functional? I think I'm going to post a few sample cuts from various Lost In The Grooves featured records to whet your appetites.
