1 WEEK SUCKA!!!

2 Comments

That’s right, in exactly one week, Glen, John, Paul, and I will witness the Supreme Genius of The Pixies, not to mention, supporting act, Jay Reatard and his new crew, whom apparently have more chops than his former band mates. Anyway, The Pixies are playing their 1989 magnum opus, Doolittle in its entirety at the Wang Theater!

But wait…. before then, Glen, Paul, and I will experience the Supreme Genius of Sonic Youth in just two days!

WARNING: More Pixies updates will probably come this way.

What is in Thurston Moore’s iPod? Well, the Boston Globe put his musical device in shuffle mode and here’s what they got:

1. “Pinch,’’ Can. “I got it as a teenager in the early ’70s, and it was 49 cents at Woolworth’s.’’

2. “Sick Things,’’ Alice Cooper. “I remember asking my parents for the album ‘Killer’ for Christmas. I have a photo of me on Christmas morning with the foldout poster of Alice Cooper hanging himself.’’

3. “Retribution,’’ Abbey Lincoln. “It really struck me how avant-garde it was for a straight-ahead jazz singer.’’

4. “Don’t,’’ Dinosaur Jr. “The first time I ever heard it was when I played it with Dinosaur at Columbia University in New York.’’

5. “High and Lonesome,’’ Jimmy Reed. “To me, that sound is the roots of punk rock. It’s real raw, real genuine.’’

Children of the KLYAM, in exactly one week Glen and I will be attending the Sonic Youth concert at the Wilbur Theatre! Yes, I know you’re envious. Well, to make you even more fucked in the head, totally outta your mind, crazy, a mere five days later we will witness the glorious Pixies, as the below post notes. And with opening acts like The Feelies and the one and only Jay Reatard, all time favorite shows could and should be expected!

P.S. Kim is sexy in that pic. Yeah, I know she’s like my mom’s age. So what? Excuse me for having blood pumping through my veins!
