Hey there. It's been a long while again blah blah blah. Still not great, but oh well. At this point are you really surprised? ;-)

 

Anyway, I have a couple videos that I think are great.

 

The first is a 3 year-old explaining the plot of Star Wars: Episode IV. This is a much better explanation than I could ever give since I usually have to re-enact the line "But I was going to Tashi Station to pick up some power converters!"

 

      

 

The next video is a clip of this great singer called St. Vincent whose real name is Annie Clark. I first saw her when she opened for John Vanderslice at the Triple Door in Seattle. Last week she played at Neumos in Seattle. Melissa got tickets so we went. Thanks, Melissa! It was a great show. During the show St. Vincent unexpectedly covered one of my favorite Beatles songs--Dig A Pony. It's a great and surreal song. "You can penetrate any place you go! I told you so!"

 

Anyway, somebody in the audience recorded it! You can hear me give one of the early "Wooo!"s during the opening riff, but I wasn't one of the assholes wooing during the verse. Freaking animals. ;-)

 

         

 

I bought a tube amplifier the next day and felt that it was an overdue purchase. It felt fitting that Neumos saw a Beatles cover after what had probably been far too long.

 

The show was great, but after this particular one she was not available to sign the CD I bought. :-(

 

But I still have a poster signed by her from the Triple Door show on my wall.

 

(Hey. What took me so long? That wasn't so bad!)
