'Never Leave Me'
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'm happy to report that the Pixies are still rocking it. Kimmy has an adorable new short haircut. They played tons o' songs (including Hey - one of my all-time fave songs ever). I'm also old and saw them back in 90 or 91. I'd love to see them in a smaller venue again...
Next show: Guided by Voices at the Henry Fonda.

Of Montreal at the Blind Pig on Sunday, Visqueen at the same venue on Tuesday.
Tegan and Sara are playing here in a small venue on Monday night. Tickets were way sold out before I got wind of the show, and none of the online scalpers seem to be selling tickets to their show.
Boston concerts-- anybody see Lone Justice at the Paradise? Or the Nails ("88 Lines About 44 Women" ring a bell for anyone?) Or Timbuk 3?Elvis Costello at the Beacon? Or (and you are all way too young for this) the Go-Gos opening for the Police at the Garden?

Huh. I think I saw thought. I definitely saw The Bangles there.

I saw that tour play in Cleveland.

That's what happens when they play their own country, huh? We didn't have much trouble getting in when we saw them in SF.
Lone Justice at the Paradise?
Sadly, no. I did see Lone Justice open for U2 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia in 1985 (thank you Google, my external memory).
I went to a whole load of shows at the Paradise though. I used to live right across the street (and around the corner from it).

They're from Calgary, which is about 2000 miles away from here (where my sister and my parents live), but Canadians have always been pretty good about supporting their own bands. T&S are touring pretty hard, a different town each night. That's a lot of travelling.
I saw A Flock Of Seagulls open for the Go-Go's at the Garden. It was the "Vacation" tour -- serious teenybopper crowd. I was in college, and I felt OLD.
Or the Nails ("88 Lines About 44 Women" ring a bell for anyone?)
Love the song, but I never saw them.
