I can tell you this. I am in my hotel room, awaiting a 5 a.m. pickup (for a 9 a.m. flight, but i have been informed that I will not make my flight if I am any later than 3 hours early, and my hotel, as I have mentioned, is in another time zone). So yes, i am watching the Aristocrats and trying to figure out when the funny starts.
Larry Storch is funny, I will give you that.
This is from kool keith earlier tonight.
I'm in Indianapolis at the Midwest Music Summit at the moment. i was on a panel this morning with Wendy from Toolshed, Morgan from Audio Lunchbox, Ethan from imeem and Dodge from My Old Kentucky Blog. When i said i run the Jackpine Social Club record label, one dude actually went "Woo!" I've never gotten a woo before.
Saw Margot and the Nuclear So and So's last night; they strike me as the midwest version of the Mother Hips, if that makes sense. Great band with good songs that hasn't really broken out of their region, but they have rabid fans here. I'm probably talking out of my ass, but hey, sometimes my ass makes sense.
(Forgive the terrible photo -- i'm still getting used to my Treo.)
Two good things about today:
1. I saw a store called "Cell Yes!"
2. When I woke up at 5 a.m. for no good reason, and went to get ice for my warm root beer (woo, party time) there were a bunch of dudes at the door next to me yelling "Wake up, Brewdog!"
Off to chicago on Sunday. Going to see my old pal John Strohm tomorrow morning on a panel. he used to be in the Blake Babies, then Antenna, Lemonheads (in separate stints). Now he's a lawyer. He does a really great version of "Nobody Wins" on my Kristofferson tribute.
Ok, hi from Indianapolis, from the Best Western Castleton. (By the way, a cab from the airport to this hotel is $75.00. Indianapolis is really, really spread out. Yeesh.)
Ah, vacation. Marinated pork tenderloin, corn and roasted red pepper relish, fingerling potatoes, dill and chive butter and grilled jumbo prawns marinated in crystal hot sauce and lemon juice. And the whole thing with cab sauv from Annapolis winery (even though i only got a sip—thank you vicodin, for making my vacation wine-free). I had loaded up the iPod with a ton of stuff before we left (for whatever reason, I never actually filled it up to capacity until last week) and we heard all sorts of good music to accompany dinner. Alejandro Escovedo (new stuff from the Boxing Mirror), Hawkwind (not exactly dinner music, but everyone needs Hawkwind on their iPod), Simply Saucer, The Byrds, Crooked Fingers, Kelley Stoltz (some demos I got before Sub Pop picked him up from me—the stuff he hasn’t put out is so freakin’ good, I hope he releases this in some form), Solomon Burke and George Jones.
Memo to self: when playing iPod on shuffle during dinner, please remove The History of Avant Garde Electronic Music from the repertoire. Thank you.
