He said he liked it but he hadn’t used it much with guitar only his keyboards. I told him he had to try it with a fuzz, anywya at that time after the fire and with touring he hadn’t had that much time. I will ask him again next time. He did say Bob’s place wasn’t that bad it was mostly digital recording gear that was destroyed.
Yes Rivington has been upgraded. The whole area has tons of new venues. The lower east side has been developing alot in the last ten years. It is still sketchy but rent over there is like 1400 for a small one bedroom. Tonic is pretty cool. It usually has kinda new age type music.
So I went down to the show and I didn’t know it was Jimi Shields band. It was weird an old friend was there and I started talking to her and she couldn’t remember me and eventualy she did and I started talking to her about J because I thought thats why she was there but she didn’t even know he was playing. She was there to see the secret machines who I have heard alot about but couldn’t stick around to see. Anyway Wounded Knees played a few songs and then J came up and played with a lovetone brown source and an ad-9 delay with a pink jazzmaster. He played three songs. The middle one was awesome. It was very celtic music. Accoustic guitar, vocals, drums, flute and J playing like a 6 minute solo. It was a different style though, more soundscape than usual. I have heard J play 2 styles before, Dino style and Stooges style but this was a bit different. The song was more repetitive so it was going up and down like a dino solo he just kept it steady and his fingers were moving rediculously fast. Afterwards they played in a jar on the house speakers. I went around the corner to catch my friend at another show and heard an amazing tabla player. His fingers were going at lighting speed. I wish J had come to that show and played along because the bands guitar player was useless. Anyway all and all a great night of music in NYC.
My friend played a show and Evan was there, they are friends. He sang a couple songs. We had jammed once before playing Sebadoh among other things. I was hanging out in the basement with a guitar and he came down and we started talking and ran through like 10 dino songs and he pulled out too hard thinking I wouldn’t know it. I thought we sounded pretty good together. It was funny his girlfriend wanted him to leave and he was like can’t I stay and hang out with a fellow dino freak. He knew how to play the songs really well like raisans. I wish I had a little taperecorder. Anyhow one of these days when I get a decent ep or something recorded I will send it to him and see if he would add to a track.
I rember stories where J would wear earplugs and lou and murph didn’t and he would just balst the guitar and they would be deaf.
My nephew thought Dino was too hard when he was a like 14. And Iwas playing like get me for him, but he listened to commercial pop and loved garbage.
J looked pretty scuzzy back then, like in the old Amherst video, his eyebrows and looks almost like a moustache coming in. So different than he looks today.
I thought it was stay and pave my face, and at the end he says hate my faith, and it is please excuse it for getting high.
