Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

Hey Shir! One of my favorite bands, The Notwist, are playing at The Barby in Tel Aviv on July 16. Go see them!

Hey Jon! Yeah, the Israeli music blogsphere is making a lot of noise about it, but I don't really know them. What am I missing?

A night before Why? will play there, and I'm planning to go and see them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Saw the Allman Brothers last night. The opening act was the Doobie Brothers, which my DH pointed out were playing like a State Fair act. But the Allmans, ah, the Allmans. Heaven.

They played with so much energy and life. Itw as like seeing a young band int heir prime. This was partly do to the transcendent playing of Derek Trucks, who is 29 and plays like a god, but crusty old Warren Haynes was matching Derek in musicianship and energy. We went with a friend who is a brilliant guitarist and composer (this guy [link] ), and he was blown away.

Since this is the Allmans' 40th anniversay tour, they had some guests. First was...Bruce Willis. WTF. Yeah, Ol' Bruno came out and played some pedestrian harmonica. Then the actual guests came out--Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Benmont Tench and Gregg Allman trading keyboard riffs was fabulous.

It was a glorious evening.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Why? is pretty great. I'm curious if he works any of his old cLOUDDEAD hip-hop-ish music into his current indie rock style.

Sounds fun, Scrappy! I saw the Allmans almost 20 years ago, and they were still putting on a great show then. Actually, now that I think about it, Dickey Betts wasn't at the show because he'd been arrested the night before for some drug-related infraction.

I only heard his more-current-stuff, but yeah, I think so.

I'm really planning to dancing my ass off at this show.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sounds like so much fun, Scrappy! Warren is one of the gods in my personal music pantheon. I love him.

Saw Lucero last Saturday at Slim's. I never get tired of seeing those awesome drunken fuckup boys. They had their keyboardist back, who's really added a whole new dimension to their show, and John the Bassist, who is usually doing his best catatonic impression, was all lively and talking into the mic and shit. As they have done for every show I have seen them, they opened with "San Francisco". Bless.

Opening for Lucero was Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears, who I will wholeheartedly recommend for any fans of James Brown, The Blues Brothers, etc. Between the two acts, they almost made me want to move to Tennessee to be closer to them.

OK, this blew me away: one guy wrote Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue", Dr Hook and the Medicine Show's "Cover of the Rolling Stone" and the Irish Rovers hit, 'The Unicorn".

And do you know who that guy was?
