(no subject)
I am developing a full blown Stooges obsession. I was in Cleveland last weekend and found the LP version of the "Rough Power" 10" I already own: non-Bowie mixes of the songs from Raw Power mediated by a clueless radio DJ (latter absent on the 10"), trebley as fuck and with the bass turned way up. The chorus bass line of "Hard to Beat" and the doo-wop-on-meth backup "oooh"s on "Raw Power" are some of the best things I've ever heard. The guy who rung me up showed me a $60 box set of outtakes and live songs. Am I that much of a dork? We'll see.
Horrible Fest went down last weekend. All I am going to say is that there's something in the water in Cleveland. Three days of punk and garage bands, dodging fireworks and a plastic snowman in the pit, THE INMATES, bands playing in the front of the bar, and my friend Robert took probably the only good pictures ever taken of me. Ever. I also randomly ran into a friend from Spokane (WA) who I hadn't seen in three years
I haven't been as busy as I am now in probably two or three years, and am loving it. Work, shows, DOING shows, making pins for Magrudergrind, CLITfest, and to sell on the road, out of town trips every fucking weekend, and my plane ticket to the west coast is booked for May 22nd, and I am so goddamn excited. So much to do before then. I've spent today catching up on sleep, lying around listening to records, laying out pins, and geeking out about my summer plans, which are getting cooler by the second.
Tomorrow: Total Fury in Pittsburgh.
