Titbits

- Daniel Johnston was cool for like the first 20 minutes, then he took a break and came back with a full backing band and totally killed buzzes. No dude, we wanted to see you and that mini acoustic guitar playing the same chords over and over again cause it was cool. Backing band, not so much.

- Sehorn and I saw Motorhead last night at First Ave. Trippiest part is when we were hanging banners prior to the doors opening and saw Lemmy standing right behind us playing video blackjack. As Sehorn said, "He's going for that Ace of Spades." That jokes for the old timers. Openers Throw Rag were some old punker sluts that had some energy on stage then they had Shannon from Cows and Heroine Sheiks come up on stage and "play" some busted trumpet.

- Saw someone wearing one of the greatest rock n roll t-shirts around, with one of the greatest slogans.

That's from Funkadelic's second record which Georgie says was an attempt to see if they could cut a whole record tripping on acid. I need a hard copy of this record cause I only have Maggot Brain.

Yeah, I had the exact same experience at the Daniel J. show I went to. He was so intense with his acoustic, he was like a locomotive having an emotional breakdown.

Yeah man, the backing band was playing like flawlessly too which totally doesn't go with the Johnston's music y'know. At least I got to see him solo for 20 minutes or so.
