Location: St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

I'm just your typical moron who throws random temper tantrums every now and again. If I would have known this is how I was destined to turn out fifteen years ago after graduating University, I would have stabbed myself in the head with my gift graduation pen then and there.

Another show I missed, but thanks to technology, I can enjoy it nearly a year later on at my own home while I kick my weary legs up and fall nap on the couch.

Some really good shit here including covers of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Jerry Jeff Walker, Procol Harum, and Stevie Wonder.

Early bluesy Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac...before the girls got in there and fucked things up.

The Riviera Theater
Chicago, IL
02-27-09

A happy-go-lucky jammy performance for a fine, lazy, sunny holiday weekend afternoon.

Saturday, May 22, 2010





It's a quirky kind of rainy Saturday morning. This is the preferred soundtrack for making toasted egg, ham & avocado sandwiches.

String Cheese Incident

The Cheese's first performance in Buffalo. I'm not really a fan, per se, but I was at this show and every now and again I like to relive the experience.

"Rhymes with Horatio"

It's been a while since I've made you one of these random play lists. This time around the inspiration came from approximately 65 kilometers of agonizing, muscle aching pavement pounding in the past two weeks alone. So, what does a lonely triathlete listen to while out grinding the kilometers away; suffering from an acute case of "long distance fever"?

1. Junk Bond Trader - Elliott Smith
2. Living on a Thin Line - The Kinks
3. Mercy - Plants & Animals
4. What Light? - Wilco
5. Sexuality (solo) - Billy Bragg
6. Your Rocky Spine - Great Lake Swimmers
7. Damned Fool - Mark Sandman & the Hypnosonics
8. I Just Want to See His Face - Rolling Stones
9. Broke Down On the Brazzos - Gov't Mule
10. Life By the Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughn
11. Drown - Smashing Pumpkins
12. Also Sprach Zarathustra - Deodato
13. Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
14. A Song Without an End - The Wonder Stuff
15. Living On a Jet Plane - John Denver

Yes...John Denver!

*sigh*

The good 'ol Bomber...my old alma mater boozer. I saw everything from the New Fast Daffodils to 54/40 to Kim Mitchell there. I would have loved to have been a student on the wall at this show...

Smokelahoma
The Woodshed, WA
12-05-06

I knew absolutely nothing about this band when I downloaded the bit torrent. But how can you not download a band named 'Smokelahoma'? Throw an awesome cover of Jerry Reed's 'East Bound & Down' and you're one step closer to hill-billy heaven.

Luna
Bowery Ballroom
New York City, NY
04-08-00

I love this band. And I love that you've probably never heard of them. Too bad they're gone now though...guess you missed out. I love that.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

South Catherine Street Jug Band
08-06-01

I don't know anything about this venue, or location, just that it provides an awesome soundtrack for any road trip that involves driving straight into a storm front of Biblical proportions.

Guess that kind of sums it up, huh?

Zubot & Dawson
Vancouver 16th Annual International Jazz Festival
Performance Works, Granville Island
Vancouver, BC
06-25-03

I had never heard of these guys before downloading this torrent and, I gotta say, it's pretty freakin' good! Not sure if I would label it as "jazz", but they definitely have a unique thing doing on. I will definitely look for more.
