obscure music snob: Home Alone
http://twink-obscuremusic.blogspot.com/2013/04/home-alone.html
Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Saturday, April 06, 2013. I'm pretty sure the last time I saw Low live was in something like 2002, at the State Theatre in Minneapolis. There's one Christmas album I'll listen to.here it is: Low Christmas. It's the only one, though.). I was about seven feet from the stage, and could see all the musicians' faces, and I couldn't take it anymore. I fled for the back of the room, next to the bar. I got h...

obscure music snob: February 2011
http://twink-obscuremusic.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Sunday, February 27, 2011. Dancing In The Dark. A couple of fun covers, The Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues and Springsteen's Dancing In The Dark, and references all over the place. I heard The Jam, Neil Young, the aforementioned Elvis Costello, and things probably too obscure to call a reference but made sense in my head, like John Vanderslice. It was a pretty good show. Labels: Dancing in Backspace.

obscure music snob: What Have I Been Doing Lately?
http://twink-obscuremusic.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-have-i-been-doing-lately.html
Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Monday, January 31, 2011. What Have I Been Doing Lately? Ramona Falls (one of my favorites), and Heliosequence (good). I guess they had someone filming. I have to admit, my first thought about WF was, "Gee, another. A couple of nights ago, I went to see a show at Branx. Not normally a venue I would go to, but it was to see The Thermals. I don't get that opportunity nearly enough! I'm not sure it's th...

Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Monday, January 25, 2010. There was all this music to make things better. I'll tell you about the driving-the-car-from-the-midwest-in-snowy-February road trip next month. And a quick public service announcement: If you smoke, quit. Now. Yesterday. Because lung cancer sucks, and there's no such thing as remission, much less a cure. It seems way cheaper. Also, the individuals making four times my s...

obscure music snob: Modest Mouse, You Can Do Better
http://twink-obscuremusic.blogspot.com/2014/05/modest-mouse-you-can-do-better.html
Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Friday, May 02, 2014. Modest Mouse, You Can Do Better. Modest Mouse show at the Crystal Ballroom. Opening band: Survival Knife. Hubby and I are sitting here trading fables about how this suburban, amateur aggro-Sabbath wannabe disaster ended up opening for MM. Hubby: It's who you know. Me: Maybe it's their punishment for not finishing the album that was promised over a year ago?

Very occasional ramblings on live shows I've seen. If no one ever reads it, that's probably just as well. Monday, August 24, 2009. Okay, so it started with this email. Anyhow, it turns out there was a secret Dandy Warhols show at rontoms tonight. For free. In a room that holds, what, 150 people if they're all really, really good friends? I know, I'm terribly behind. I'm working on it. Sasquatch, and PDX Pop Now! More to come. As always. Labels: Fragments and bits. Frosting that doesnt come from a can.
