9.16.12. I missed the end of the Steelers game. They won. I had to head to the coffee shop to finish transcribing and typing the Guided By Voices interview. I was so tired from working all day and only having slept about 2 hours. I had one cup of mate when I woke up and 1 cup of coffee around 7.
Oh, by the way. I fucking interviewed GBV last night. The show was at Mr. Smalls Theatre and the second I got in the opening band said "This is our last song". I couldn't have planned it better. The crowd had a lot more people my age in it than I would have thought. I honestly thought it would be a bunch of overweight dudes in skinny ass Sebadoh shirts with 10 o'clock shadows and black glasses.
Everyone in the crowd knew every song. It was like one endless-summer-night-anthem-end-of-the-world-sing-along.
I don't know that I've seen a better show.
While they were playing I got to talking with Mitch Mitchell's girlfriend Gwen. She's a super rad skater who move to Dayton from Philly to be with Mitch. Pretty intense. We talked a lot about old punk bands and skating.
Anyhow... Long story short... I ended up interviewing Kevin for a little bit and Mitch Mitchell for a while. And it was amazing. I am so lucky.
Okay... Back tonight. Coffee buzz was kicking... I headed home and hit a set of heavy bench then came upstairs and finished the work. Just submitted the write up to my editor. Hope to see it up soon!
I have to stay busy. I put out my feelers and emailed some people with albums coming out.
I listened to the new Kaki King album once and it's really good. I hope we talk soon. I need to ask her about a spider bite in Australia.
Thanks for reading.
