cool that you found a good new place to live, Allison
hope it doesn’t cost a fortune to keep it warm, in those chilly canadian winters. I mean, I hope the isolation of the big windows is good.hehe thanks, I’m also tending to these…
I also like checking out new stuff, and in the Weltbühne club, bands are starting quite very late in the evening, so I was thinking of catching these gigs after the other shows on the same evening.and I forgot to mention this alternative plan:
Dinosaur Jr, August 31, Koko/ London
Sleater-Kinney, September 02, Koko/ London…would be great, still up in the air, though
btw, personally I would prefer to see the really private issues of the band members kept outside this fan-forum (like who’s doing who, or who’s said to be on parole etc
)on repeat these days:
Yo La Tengo – Prisoners Of Love
Decemberists – Picaresque
Decemberists – Her MajestyÃ? made a list of upcoming shows in my city which I’d like to see.
I won’t be able to see them all, but I’m tryingLampshade August 6, Knust
Yo La Tengo, August 10, Fabrik
Bonnie Prince Billy, August 14, Fabrik
Woven Hand feat. Dave E. Edwards, August 22, Knust
Karl Larsson, September 02, Weltbühne
Richard Thompson solo acoustic, September 02, Knust
Bob Mould September 09, Grünspan
Kaizers Orchestra, September 13

Teenage Fanclub/ the Posies, October 27, Knusthey there, good to see a face put to the name of someone who newly registrated, would be nice to have this more often!
have a good time here on the site Chris, hope to see you here a lot!
😀I’ve only been away for tiny few days, and look what I’ve missed!
hope it will show up on freesofree!we had the other topic from 2003 about journalists and interviews, it has been sticky for a long time, but many of the questions are outdated now,
so I made this topic sticky insteadhere are the still up to date questions from the other topic, they’re all questions for J:
– You’ve recently talked about how much you enjoy playing drums, I’m wondering who you consider the top five drummers in your world, someone who influenced you or just thrilled the hell out of you?
– You said in other interviews that you worship the Indian Saint Amma. Did you have the chance to see her on her current world tour?
And what’s the deal with the record which is being sold on the current tour?– Why do Purple Marshalls sound so much better?
– You’ve done many interviews during the past few months …there must be some questions you can’t stand anymore !?

"rosa" wrote:my solution: knock off the cynical post-ironic questions, knock off the yes-or-no questions, and ask the man something that demands an answer. gear (purple Marshalls
) and spirituality are two great starting points. even the shyest of guitar nerds will happily talk about those two things.
and oh yeah, shut up and listen for the answers.
yeah, thanks for posting the link here, cool Dino pics
…and loads of other cool pics, too[moved topic to reviews]
thanks a lot, garrrr, for keeping pace with the events
you’ve seen the setlists topic by kracked873?

I remember reading an interview where J said that the only instrument he learned properly from a teacher were the drums, and that he never had guitar lessons. and when he started with playing guitar it sounded all winpy to him, until he started to play the guitar like playing drums, and to enhance the volume
there are many guitarists he mentioned to be an influence on his way of playing guitar, like Ron Asheton from the Stooges, among many others.
hey Spaceboy, good to see you back here.
thanks for the input! as I knew you’re into Oldham’s music for a long time, I’m appreciating your recommendation
