Hey D,

Here is a link I use a lot for shows in Minneapolis
http://mpls.musicscene.org/feed.asp?resourceid=events

Also has a list of stores, recommend Electric Fetus, Road Runner and Garage D’or along with the one above. Make that circuit every time we go to Minneapolis. Electric Fetus has tons of stuff, always pick up some goofy toys there cheap as well….I like metal wind up toys…Duck on Bike with hypnodisc eyes and prop on his head that spins while he rides….so cool.

Also stayed at the Chelsea in New York, very cool place but the kind of place you put a big piece of furniture against the door at nite. But hey thats easy to do, also you gotta hit St Mark’s for some great stores, Trash and Vaudeville if its still there is great…got some great pink beatle boots there. Bleeker Bobs is a great record shop, comes with attitude but who cares.

Have Fun,

Allison

Hey defduck,

Good suggestions, if you like Kerouac you would definitely like William S Burroughs. Recommend his short story book Exterminator, I love short stories…works well with my short attention span. You can also pick up some of his spoken word stuff on napster, he also put out a disc with Kurt Cobain…the "Priest" they called him.

Got some great flick picks as well, Four Rooms..is that the one with Tim Roth, he is great. The Misbehavers (? spelling sorry about that) is one of my fav’s from that show.

Modest Mouse are pretty cool, listening to Night on the Sun right now…drives my husband nuts though which I just don’t get but oh well.

Thanks,

Allison

Hey Dimpfelmoser,

Sounds like a pretty cool trip, great time of year as well…not too hot yet. As you have already been to New York you are probably aware of the great clubs, shops etc so I won’t bore you with those. We stayed at the weirdest but very cool place a couple of times called the Carlton Arms Hotel in Manhatten…very cheap. Run by art students,
huge murals on all the walls…huge female elvis in one room I stayed in, another had a huge hand holding a martini glass. It also had the most aggressive cockroaches I have ever seen as well, lousy showers, sheets from Bellevue hospital and a mental health group home on the upper level.

Hoping to go to Chicago in April so will keep you posted on that. Minneapolis is great, check out the uptown area for some interesting shops. Always stop at the CC Club for a cheap lunch and great jukebox..they even have the Stooges Funhouse so hey stop by it is on South Lyndale. Great record shop right across from that place called Oarfolk, further down the street more cool shops. I will post some links for you later.

Let me know where in Canada you will be stopping and I will see what I can do. We did a road trip to LA once, went to Grand Forks and took a right, I wouldn’t sleep anywhere on the road, but hey thats just me.
If you do find a Twin Peaks kind of place let me know…awesome series…just look out for the little short guy…nitemare material.

Hey,

I can’t believe I didn’t recommend this before but check our Repulsion, directed by Roman Polanski starring Catherine Deneuve.
Pretty wild show, have not seen many like this one…although The Tenant by Polanski as well comes pretty close.

The drummer from Swervedriver is writing a book, you can check out a few chapters here
http://www.swervedriver.com/

just scroll down a bit and you can check out a couple of chapters…tour stuff on customs officers, weird gigs and even more bizarre tour drivers. Nice light entertaining read, just what I need right now thats for sure…shake out all the crap I have been cramming up in my brain all day…ahhhh.

Is anyone going to post a transcript of
the J Mascis chat???

[OriginalPosterLost]

Thanks for the compliment, Spider. And I wouldn’t worry about J leaving us any time soon. He sounds happier – well, less sad – on "More Light" than on any other of his albums.

Anyway, I’ve expressed what I felt about the album the best I could in "More Light – one reporter’s opinion", so I’ll leave it at that.

Take care,

Jasper

Trav, please don’t let Dimpf get to you. Cool off, and buy yourself some Sonic Youth records. I especially recommend:

Daydream Nation
Sister
Dirty
A Thousand Leaves
Goo

Hey,

Just heard back from undercover radio, transcript will be up on the site in a couple of days. The video interview will be up within a week. I went to the interview part of the site and there are a lot of other archived shows so this is probably where it will be
http://www.radioundercover.com/idol.html

Looking forward to that because he answered another of my questions regarding him appearing on anyone elses projects in the near future…he said yes but I can’t remember the name of the group…whoops.

Allison

I agree with jayloumurph, maybe J doesn’t know it, but there are a great number of fans waiting for some real music (including me of course).

Will I be waiting my entire life????
