Upcoming Shows...
Here's a picture of Holly eating my new MP3 player. This is to show scale for how small it is. It's roughly the size of a mouse. I put off buying one for a long time
. I'm not real good with techy things. They ask too many questions. This thing in particular has been relatively easy, but I'm still bewildered. For some reason my computer tells me it's copying files to the device, but then I turn the device on and only a fraction of what I transferred is actually there. The names of the songs are on the device, but when I click play it says "NO FILE".
This is what gets me about this stuff. I feel like it doesn't make my life easier, just more frustrating. Of course, I also haven't read the hefty instruction manual or installed the software that came with the device. Too lazy. Don't they have some sort of computer that does that for me?
Yesterday, I let Holly out so she could sniff stuff and eat grass, but kept a pretty keen eye on her as always. I stepped inside for a moment and came back out to see Holly on the sidewalk in front of our house and two twenty-something black ladies walking toward her. I watched from a distance and sipped my coffee. The ladies didn't see Holly until she was about 3 feet away from them, but when they did they stopped with a gasp. "You must NEVER cross paths with a black cat!" one of them said in West Indian accent. Then the two of them stepped into the street around Holly and continued on.
Okay, first of all, Holly is a tuxedo cat! Which makes her half-black and half-white. Plus, she wears white socks!! And if you look closely, she's not even black - she's dark brown! I've got no time for discriminatory superstitions!!
This summer's been nice, but September's shows in NYC are good enough to make me want summer to be over! Not really. Well, after the beaching and the camping and the sweating are all done, it will be nice to see some good rock. So lets talk about it!
Shellac at Northsix, 9/2
Steve Albini is quite possibly the greatest musician and sound-engineer that ever lived. Tell you what, if he was a preacher, he'd save a million souls. Even you!
Mastodon at Webster Hall, 9/8
Drummer Brann Drailor can best be described as "inhuman" and this show is only $15 - probably the cheapest you'll ever get to see them before we start hearing "Blood & Thunder" in a Cadillac commercial. Plus, it's drum-king Jon Gill's birthday and this is where he'll be partying!
Boris at Northsix, 9/11
What better way to honor our nation's greatest tragedy in NYC then with a balls-out Japanese metal band? Plus a guitar player I have a total crush on. Sorry Ted Nugent.
Nomeansno at Northsix, 9/28
YESSSS!! I've been waiting years for these old bastards to come around! HOLY FUCK they are going to rock you to pieces! Hipsters better wear helmets.
Finally, good people, religious people, whatever...please address your prayers and/or good feelings to my friend and best boss I ever had, Ann, who's husband died last week. It's a terrible tragedy, my hopes and prayers are with her.
