Enjoy man, it should be a treat.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Bobby Brown and Bell Biv DeVoe. Looking forward to it.

Primal Scream last night, outdoors at Dundee's Slessor Gardens to mark the opening of V&A Dundee. The Scream Team were playing under par from previous times I've seen them, but a wet and windy night, followed by a brilliant fireworks and light show to 'Smalltown Boy' added to the '3-D Festival' vibe that was putting Dundee on the map and the BBC (maybe just BBC Scotland?). The good thing for me is living about five minutes walk away meant I was home and dry before some folk had left the area.

Just found out Steve Ignorant is playing a tiny venue about twenty minutes from my house next month, too.

Any chance he's playing with Paranoid Visions? He's done a lot of recording and some touring with them in the past few yearsSilent Majority wrote: ↑17 Sep 2018, 4:10pmJust found out Steve Ignorant is playing a tiny venue about twenty minutes from my house next month, too.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Since the last time I posted in this thread...
-X a few times
-Dwight Yoakam
-St Vincent
-Sleater-Kinney a couple times
-Lucinda Williams a couple times
-James McMurtry
-Jerry Lee Lewis
-Wanda Jackson
-Tom Petty
I feel like I aged out of going to a bunch of shows. I only see people I've already seen who are coming through town again, or people I'm desperate to see before they die. And that list is getting shorter. Willie Nelson's the last person on it. Kinda creeping up on that age where most of the people I like are dead or don't play much.
Dwight was great, that was a real cowpunk homecoming. The house music was all Los Lobos, Lone Justice, some Alejandro Escovedo. Dwight did some Merle and Buck songs. Carmelita too. Brought the house down. It was at the Palladium, which is a great room for him.
X has gotten better somehow. Both shows I saw, they brought along a second guitarist and drummer so they could do fuller arrangements of stuff like I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts, and it made them sound the best I've ever heard them.
Jerry Lee Lewis kicked ass. He's still got a lot of vocal power and a tight band, and he beats up his guitar keys. Not having any morals at all must make you live a long time. When he walked on the stage, my first reaction was "this is impossible, I'm at a dirt lot in the country outside Sacramento" and my second reaction was "this would be like seeing Johnny Cash in 2015, and I cannot visualize that. I don't have the imagination." He did a version of Before The Night Is Over that was pretty special.
Wanda Jackson is a saint, and she's healthy and God-fearing so you don't have to feel guilty about paying to see her. Everybody was smiling the whole time, and half the crowd was Latino teenagers. It was like rockabilly prom, and although rockabilly is kinda lame, it was cool here. It's cool to see a bunch of 18 year olds singing along to, uh, Fujiyama Mama and I Saw The Light.
Tom Petty was great because I went with the whole family, and my mom had wanted to see him for years. It was a way to have a night off from monitoring my grandma in hospice. Then the bastard up and died on me two days before she did, so all my memories of it are clouded by a time in my life that was so shitty I now keep antidepressants in a salad bowl and eat them by the fistful. Great show though, they had a great setlist for that tour. He did Walls, I Won't Back Down in its original arrangement instead of as a singalong, and a killer Refugee. Then they did American Girl with the Webb sisters on harmonies. I wish he had explored using background singers more. It sounded fantastic. Only problem was drunk boomers in the crowd. They love to have loud private conversations while other people are trying to hear the band.
I dunno who I'd try and stay up late to see these days. I'm kind of ambivalent about all of them. People like The Bangles, or Elvis Costello, Mavis Staples (I love her voice but I'm not crazy about her setlists), Nick Cave even though he's not funny anymore, Jason Isbell.
The bigger thing though is there just aren't a lot of rock bands I care about who are up-and-coming. I like Low Cut Connie, but that's kinda it.
