Ominous Seapods, 12/17/11, Valentine's, Albany, NYHere's the thing about bands doing "farewell" shows-- I don't buy it anymore. They always come back. Reunions are the new black. And it's not a bad thing, I'm just saying that when a band calls it quits, it may take 2 years (God Street Wine), it may take 10 (Pavement), but they typically return in some form, eventually. Shit, even Led Zeppelin

A few days before the show, an unprovoked ticket fell into my lap. What are ya gonna do?

A lot of people have been asking me for the Garlic Tea recipe lately & since practically everyone who attended snoe.down last weekend has fallen ill with The Spartan Wookiebola, it seems like a reasonable time to just turn it into a bloggy.Typically Normies shudder when they hear the words "Garlic Tea", so I was just thinking about changing the name of it to "Space Monkey Tea".

In my many years driving between NYC and VT, I developed a weird fascination with the bizarre lawn ornaments that dot up rt. 22a & 149 (Whitehall, Ft. Ann -> Vergennes and everywhere in between). Especially the strange religious figures, like Bathtub Mary. I guess it was like seeing a sopping wet hearty chunk of "Real America". This odd interest eventually became the subject of a sculpture I

phish, 12/2-4/09, madison square garden, nyc, nyAfter getting all sorts of uppity about how I "wouldn't spend any more money on The Phish this year", I ended up doing the complete MSG run. It's Fall Tour, after all.WEDNESDAY, 12/2/09Wednesday's pregame found us at Stout's Pub, where a rude waitress refused to let us sit, but a kind bartender kept the alcohol flowing. The place was a total

phish, 11/27/09, the knick (times union center*), albany, nyThere is nothing quite like Fall Tour in the North Country. It's hard to blow off Thanksgiving Steam without some live music and I was psyched when The Phish announced NorthEast dates-- especially cuz moe. took this holiday season off. The only thing that could have made Friday night in Albany sweeter would have been some crunchy snow

the btk band, 11/19/09, the stonewall inn, nyc, ny"The BTK Band: they'll break your heart & melt your fucking face..."The day started out like any other. A typical commute, slightly hindered by some dude who led the police on the shortest chase ever- from Ft. Lee, NJ to 2/3 of the way across the GWB, where he stopped his car, ran across the Southbound lanes, and hurled himself off the bridge to

the new mastersounds, 11/7/09, the bowery ballroom, nycLast month I saw Lucinda Williams with my friends Mark & Mike. Before the show, Mark bought me a sammich and instead of cash, he got an IOU for a future sammich. CUT TO: a few days before The New Mastersounds played the Bowery Ballroom, I shot an email out to see who was going- the sole confirmation came from Mark: I'll be there, bring a

moe.lloween, 10/31/09, the washington avenue armory, albany, nySometime before moe.down x, moe. sent out an email asking some of their most moe.ronic fans to step up and nominate 1 song for moe. to play "to create the ultimate setlist". Since I met the qualifications, I ransacked my brain* to try and think of ONE song- an original, a cover--- but ONLY ONE SONG to nominate. Why do you toy with

Yonder Mountain String Band, 10/17/09, the Nokia Theater, NYC3/4 of YMSB tuningWe began our evening at the Irish Rogue, where I met up with el Herno, c4d, and Heidi who had all gotten a head start on the drinking.
