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.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm curious if he works any of his old cLOUDDEAD hip-hop-ish music into his current indie rock style.
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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I just read about him.
But now I forgot his name.

Heh, Tom S -- you were one of the guys that I thought might get that on the first go.
I also didn't know that Shel's friendship with Jean Sheppard partly inspired the Boy Named Sue song.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
They had their keyboardist back
Rick Steff? I so heart him. Totally sweet guy, in addition to being a kickass keyboardist (not too shabby on the accordion, either).
It's been eight months or so since I saw them live, waaaay too long. ::glares in direction of Memphis:: It was Roy's birthday and they covered "Jump" by Van Halen. High-larious.

Yeah, Rick. He's got a faux-hawk right now, which is hilarious.
Ben apologized for the solo tour, apologized for getting drunk, apologized for not knowing "Anjalee", apologized more for getting drunk - he was rather entertaining.

Epicenter The Business of Tech TuneCore, Amazon Set to Unveil On-Demand CD Sales
TuneCore is poised to partner with Amazon’s on-demand CD-printing-and-distribution service, Wired.com has learned. It’s a deal that could put powerful new physical publishing options in the hands of musicians, even as the world goes increasingly digital.
The service is expected to be announced Thursday, linking Amazon with TuneCore, a novel digital distribution startup that’s made waves signing the likes of Trent Reznor, Keith Richards and other stars seeking a way out of the label system, as well as slews of garage bands and hopefuls on their way up.
I still prefer downloads (assuming they're at 256 kbps or better).
