Maybe why they don’t sell it any more is because they’d have to sell it at $40, and realize that no one will buy it.

Or, of course, if the Dodgers are on the brink of the sweep of the Yankees.

This presents a philosophical dilemma. What'll it be; your favorite band or your favorite team?

What were you both wearing?

Oh, interesting, as I'm seeing Jimmie Dale and another guitarist (Dave Alvin) tomorrow night...

For any fans of baseball (I know there are a few), the Baseball Project is a great band to see (especially, as I did, at Brooklyn Made). You get to see some real rock stars out of their original elements, and all the songs are about, you guessed it: baseball.

I've definitely seen a number of them, and it reminds me: the original Little Feat, with Lowell George, at least 2 or 3 times in New York. They freakin' played the Calderone Theatre, in Hempstead!

One of my favorite bands. Just recently saw Jon Langford with his "current band" at the Bitter End, in June. And with the Waco Brothers last year at TV Eye. He has about 15 bands. Sometimes he plays in people's back yards. Wet Leg at Baby's All right was kinda crazy. Then, when they came back and played Brooklyn Steel, I wanted to murder people (it's a heinous place). Also saw PJ Harvey there, and really had to drink a lot.

This sounds like when we sit or stand near a bunch of old mooks discussing all the shows they've seen. So...let me add... As well as 1975 at the garden (the folding Star Stage, which was awesome)...after that, they started playing stadiums. Jeff Beck - like '72 or '73 at the Academy of Music. Patti Smith Group - the final shows at CBGB's. I remember talking to John McEnroe at one of the shows. Oct., 2006. Bob Marley and the Wailers - Beacon Theatre, April, 1976 (I was given tickets by the then-head of Island Records, whom I had picked up in my cab at the Bottom Line). And then later in 1976, at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, after I'd moved west. First Springsteen show at Santa Barbara County Bowl, late 1976. Clash - Warfield, San Franciso. GP - Old Waldorf, San Francisco. Bowie - Hammerstein Ballroom. Sinatra - Circle Star Theatre. San Mateo. 1989. Same place I saw Pryor. EC and the Attractions (a few times). EC and the Imposters (a few more times). EC and Burt Bacharach (a few times). More. A lot more. And then there are the unexpected show-ups. Like the hot, sweaty night in July, 2010, seeing Alejandro Escovedo at the Stone Pony. And then, well after midnight, this happens...

Tom Morello.

Now that our neighborhood has become, shall we say, more popular (i.e.: a fucking nightmare) than it was when we moved down here 20+ years ago…

Time for those backstage passes...

Correct. I mean, even Eater has their standards...

Now, finally- some crack reporting... Taylor Swift Has Already Been Twice: Is The Corner Store Worth It? I love being able to say fuck you to a place before I even have any desire to go.
