Saw the second of two Sonic Youth shows here in DC last night. If your keeping score, the first one got a mediocre review. Although it was good, it was not up to their usual very high standards. Probably the weakest SY show I have ever seen.

Well, last night was a huge improvement. A fantastic show, possibly the best of the maybe 8-10 shows...

Last night I saw Sonic Youth at the 9:30 club here in DC. A good show, but not they were not in peak form. Maybe they are starting to be less good. Fair enough, after doing this stuff for more than 25 years. But maybe it was just an off night. Can happen to any band. I just never felt so much like they were...

I saw Sonic Youth in concert about four years ago. It was an outdoor concert at the state fair and it rained the entire time. Lol. It was still fun. When I saw them, they had terrible openers.

Bernard Madoff got 150 years in prison for his fraud scheme. He will die in jail. Doesn't do much to help the people who lost $65,000,000,000, but at least its something. I'm sure many of his victims would kill him with their bare hands.

Prosecuting white collar criminals, and delivering harsh sentences, is so important if we are to maintain any semblance of justice in...

I saw Obama last nite! To make extra money I work in the events industry, and I worked an event last nite where Obama was a guest. It was a pretty big event, so I didn't see him up close, but its nice to actually be in the same room with him. Also saw the mayor, Adrian Fenty, at very close range. He is an...

it/s not a question of sleeping, or when and where...it/s a question about sacrifice and those we surround ourselves with. the friendships, the relationships..what would you give up for those people? what would they give up for you?
elray:

Need to burn out the distractions, the peripherals. Gotta get to the core, figure out what's most central, how to proceed from the center. Gotta correct this course I'm on, and then go faster, faster.

I need a compass, or a lightning flash, some kinda something.

As usual, I turn to music. Listening to the CD "Scriptures of the Golden Eternity" by Lee Ranaldo. Reminds...

Hello all. Spent the weekend at my mom's. Not too eventful.

Saw Rocky Horror Picture Show in DC on Friday. Its the first showing in DC with a live cast for five years. And the first time I had seen the movie in a long, long time. The whole culture around the film, as well as the film itself, is more vulgar than I had...

Hello y'all. Well, after maintaining blog silence for a while, I think I might start again. We'll see if anything interesting comes out.

Work is slow this week. Makes me nervous. Is the recession finally going to hit me? Don't know what I would do if I couldn't make enough money to pay rent. But, hey, its summer. At least I wouldn't freeze to death....

The move...well, its a bit of a trauma.

How are you?
captainamerika:
So, we are in Iraq, fighting a war that is just bleeding us financially and sucking the energy of this country, and moreover, turning a large portion of the rest of the world against us at the same time.

Why are we doing this? One word: No, its not oil. Its Israel.

Now Israel is pounding the Palestinians in Gaza. With weapons bought by money we fuckin' gave them. We give them so much money every year, millions of dollars a day. Why? Why has the Administration confused US foreign policy w/ Israeli foreign policy.

Its gotta fuckin' stop. It has got to stop.

US out of Israel.

ARRR!!!

Saw two great Sonic Youth shows last nite. To my ears, they are the best rock band working on the planet, still. I was lucky to be able to see them again. There has never been a band that has put out such a large body of excellent work, and over such a long period, and maintained such high standards for both albums and performances....
