ongoings
Wednesday's Greville Records haul for this week consisted of:
Bonnie "Prince" Billy sings Greatest Palace Music - his reworking of all the old stuff. It opens with New Partner (probably my favourite track of his), and it's all I've heard so far. It's certainly a lot more studio-country than I was expecting, this version evokes a feeling of people hanging around the studio having a good time together, shedding the leaner, hungrier nature of the original. Well. That's what reworkings are for, right? I'm curious about the rest of it, but right now I'm busy listening to...
Lambchop's double effort, AwCmon/NoYouCmon. mm-mmm. I'm a month late on this, 'cause I was out of town when it was released, but yeah, it's got a bit more of Nixon back in it, which I reckon's a good thing. I've got a feeling Alex put it best when he wrote :
the songs and especially the instrumentals are so relaxing you can even enjoy them without a Bourbon.
Oh, and I hear Sonic Youth are playing at The Forum in June. I think it's been around 10 years since I saw them at the POW, with the famous pole in the way (was that the gig with Underground Lovers in one room, and The Earthmen in another? Darren? Steve? My mind's going...).

I remember the Jim-Jams on the main stage - and it was over a decade ago, about this time 1993. Dunno about the Earthmen or Underground Lovers, but that would have been about the time Steven was drumming for them ;)
Do you remember this show?

Oh. Yeah. That might've been the same gig. I can't remember.
It could've even been Richard Andrew (Mr Pharmacy Records / Registered Nurse / etc.) drumming for the band, if he hadn't already left by then (small world, eh?).
Yeah. I know. I should've seen You Am I at least once in my life, and I still haven't.

Was it the Helmet / Sonic Youth gig? It's all a bit of a blur these days... although I do recall the MBV and Buffalo Tom gigs when the stage faced the other way -

Helmet! I'd forgotten about them. Wow. So I did see Sonic Youth twice, then...
