      When I got downstairs, disappointment swept over me. Dinosaur’s merch table was piled high with $20 albums and shirts of a band only recently excavated. They even had albums by Sebadoh and J Mascis and the Fog, as if the show’s whole point was to further the careers of the two bandmates.

      And what else would the point be, numbnuts ? Idiot college writer trying too hard to be pithy.

        The word last week was that J was older than Lou. And since Lou turned 39 this year, odds are that J is turning 40.

            ummm … the brunette is Lou’s wife Kath :o The baby is Hannelore Barlow, of course.

            I should be so lucky.

              Lou told me today that the writer/director is a hometown friend of J’s.

              Q.E.D.

              Mmmmm … Rachel McAdams …. :-*

                  I hearby proclaim a moritorium on any preview/review from using "extinct" anywhere in the title !

                  God, it’s like these dopes could just assemble everything from google as they all are exactly the same. Maybe someday they’ll actually talk about, you know, THE MUSIC.

                  But I guess redundant press is better than no press.

                    I’ll try and get some clarification from The Bass Player tomorrow. I’m confused as well after seeing all the recording at Spaceland, Milwaukee, Lollapalooza & London Koko.

                    Odds are that Lou won’t know what the F is going on either ! :D

                    cheers.

                        far as I can tell, they haven’t played or have only played once or twice …

                        Cats in a Bowl
                        The Leper (once, according to Kath. It’s the song I’d KILL to hear)
                        Pointless (again, I’d lose it)
                        Poledo (played once in London)
                        Show Me the Way
                        They Always Come
                        Let it Ride
                        Pond Song
                        Don’t (played twice – Seattle (?) & London)

                          it’s more Eric’s drumming on Lou’s songs that does it for me. all the fills, cymbol rides & off-kilter beats were very unorthodox, 60s (Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, etc..) type stuff. Listen to "Forced Love", "Sacred Attention" or "Cliche" and you’ll hear it. To go from that to Bob Fay was just …. eh.

                            I believe J prefers Sebadoh Mark I w/ Eric. Or so I’ve heard.

                              obviously incomplete info. Why would they have filmed the entire US & Euro tours if they weren’t planning on using it ?

                                I was there. About 20 yds back just to the left of the center alleyway to the lighting/soundboard. The set was great even though it was friggin’ hot, dusty and a little short. Some dude passed out and convulsed right next to me.

                                  J looks 1-legged in that photo ! The funny thing is the "you’d believe nothing had ever changed from those early more enthusiastic days" statement when the early days were usually anything but ! As Lou said, they actually had fun this tour. :)

                                  It was a great show. thanks for the review.
