Who's Coming?

Brett? Present. Jermaine? Present. And Murray...present.

Look, I'm not saying it's the best show ever, I'm just saying it's better than...According To Jim, for example. That's all.

Highlights:

  • Rock Club Speaks Truth to Power: Bookers at the Birchmere must have read my last post, when I called them dirty, filthy, greedy hippies. There are two affordable, quality shows there on the list: Nick Lowe and Yo La Tengo. Also, Michael Bolton on 9/20, for $100. That's $5 more than they're charging for Wayne Newton. Discuss.
  • "I got her numbah! How do you like them apples?" Silver Apples play Rock and Roll Hotel on 9/10. I've never heard of them but I liked the picture. Read the Wikipedia bio, I wouldn't mind checking this out for shits-n-giggles.
  • Fuck me in the goat ass: We should see the Mountain Goats, 9/20, Black Cat. That's the same night as Bolton, so we should have the place to ourselves.
  • River Deep: Okkervil River are a little too emotive, sincere and earnest for my tastes, but they do have catchy songs. 9/30, Rock and Roll Hotel.
  • Someone to Drive You To McDonald's: The Gossip and Long Blondes, 11/14, Black Cat. We shan't miss this one.
