"Tom " wrote:The Pogues documentary is great! It was in indemand for my cable about a year and a half ago, and I watched it all the time.
Are the Pogues doing a big US tour, or is it a NY, Chicago, LA deal?
Dates and venues are:
* March 5 & 6 – Congress Theatre / Chicago, IL
* March 10 – Avalon / Boston, MA
* March 11 – Orpheum / Boston, MA
* March 14 – Roseland Ballroom / New York, NY
* March 16 – Electric Factory / Philadelphia, PA
* March 17 – Roseland Ballroom / New York, NYLast March they played Boston, NYC, Atlantic City, and DC. Then in the fall they hit Vegas, SF, LA, and maybe Anaheim (playing at least two shows in each city). I think a third Boston show has been added at the Avalon and wouldn’t be surprised if a DC show materializes. They played 4 nights running in NYC last year. Tickets went on sale last Saturday and are already gone for most of the shows. Good for them.
I’m glad to hear that he’s in better shape now. I was amazed at how f*cked up he seemed at times. There was this clip circulating the net some years ago, where he was supposed to do an interview with a tv station -but he never made it out of make up. That was sad sad sad.

That was sad sad sad.A friend of a friend promoted a Popes show about 10-12 years ago, and said that Shane’s personal concert rider called for 8 bottles of Irish whiskey, 2 cases of beer, and a sandwich.
Actually, I should say *tried* to promote a Popes show — Shane was so off his head at the airport in London that the airline refused to allow him to fly, and much of the tour was cancelled (that wasn’t the first time that’s happened, either). It’s remarkable that he’s still with us. He hasn’t written a damn thing in ages, though.
sheit, that’s enough to drown yourself in. Agreed, it’s close to a miracle that he hasn’t gone under and died.
Slint – London Aug 22nd Koko, playing Spiderland
Sonic Youth – London Aug 31st, playing Daydream NationI’m so fucking excited, 2 of my favorite records. I’d still trade both of them to have seen YLAOM though

I saw the Locust and Daughters a few days ago in DC, it was a really great show.
Hopefully I’ll get to see Lightning Bolt next week. Otherwise shit will be really angry in my house for awhile.
Rickie Lee Jones was absolutely amazing. Some jams lingered on a bit, but overall, worth every penny.
