That's Ned Oldham's band. His brothers Will and Paul were at the show and played with the band on some songs. It was a fabulous show.-my de

2006: my year of music documentaries

The bonus feature on the disc where Tommy Ramone tells the filmmaker who in

Ryan Adams obsession!

If I didn't have anyone to give them to, I would just leave them in public places for strangers to find. (I have alwa

shows I've seen
This is a somewhat edited and amended version of an entry I wrote for my LiveJournal last spring. R.E.M. at Merriweather Post Pavillion, fall 1989. This was my "first date" with Eileen, who quickly and enduringly became my best friend.Billy Joel, spring 1990, at what was then called the Capital Center. I went with a bunch of other kids who were a year older than me, including Dan McNeal, who later

My Birthday and Christmas Wishlist
December is a bountiful month for receiving gifts because Christmas is just twelve days after my birthday. Of course, this means that I have to keep myself from spending money on new releases between the end of October and December 25th -- not exactly easy when so many good things are coming out.Here are some of the things I am hoping to get.Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific Northwest - Jeff Tw
