music

great show last night--we stopped in briefly at ocsc for shots of sunshine juice in bob pollard's honor, then headed to the cradle so as not to miss portastatic (work clothes had been slated to open, but somewhat ironically couldn't get off work). mac played a solo acoustic show--i love full-band portastatic, but i have to say that mac is one of the few dudes who can put on a mesmerizing show with just him and a guitar. there was a brief intermission (with a looney tunes cartoon) and then uncle bob himself came out, backed by tommy keene, jon wurster, et al. by the fourth song he was basically speaking gibberish, thanks to the sunshine juice--man, that guy can really rock out for someone my parents' age. in fact, he can rock out harder than i can, b/c the sleepies took me over and i didn't stay for too long (he was scheduled for a 2+ hour set and i knew i'd never last).

speaking of music, i finished making two mix cds yesterday. one had a theme, but i kept coming across other songs i wanted to put on a mix that didn't fit at all, so i just decided to go for a two-parter. here is the track list for the (extremely random) second one:

1. destroyer, european oils
2. the long winters, delicate hands
3. east river pipe, what does ts eliot know about you?
4. ursula 1000, tigerbeat
5. treva whateva, music's made of memories
6. kissing tigers, i died in a mall
7. work clothes, south bronx
8. saint etienne, action
9. paris combo, calendar
10. neko case, star witness
11. true love always, for you alone
12. the four tops, reach out, i'll be there (extended stereo mix)
13. blockhead, quiet storm
14. one self, hollow human beings
15. pizzicato five, concerto
16. galaxie 500, submission
17. kingsbury manx, zero g
18. bjorn olsson, juli
19. yuka honda, some things should be kept under wraps
