Your 3 and 7 tracks are pretty good. If I do say so myself...
My list is pretty darn good this week, dusty corners and all.
Apologies for blowing off your Facebook tag. I've had a killer busy week. FWIW, I'm sure you've seen more shows than me, and I'm even surer your recall of shows seen is superior to mine.
Right now I'm super-psyched for Wooden Wand and Akron/Family this coming Tuesday in DC. That show could, no, should be spectacular.
Sadly I had to cancel plans to see Simon Joyner at the Black Cat two weeks ago. His new album is mediocre, though, so if I had to miss one of the shows, that was probably the one to miss.
Ahab, you did call out the best tracks, indeed.
And don't worry about the FB tag--I never expect anyone to do those, just want them to have a look-see.
It's a good tag. It's got me reminiscing.
Ugly Casanova, "Hotcha Girls," Sharpen Your Teeth
Pavement, "Wanna Mess You Around," Brighten the Corners, NC Ed
The Brian Jonestown Massacre, "This Is Why You Love Me," Tepid Peppermint Wonderland
New Stories, "Anything Goes," Speakin' Out

Nick Drake, "Northern Sky-SACD Stereo," Nick Drake: A Treasurey
Bonus: Three Bad Jacks, "Falling Down," Crazy in the Head
Another so-so with a couple of nice songs. The seven-minute self-indulgences really slow it down.

4. Roy Orbison, "Candy Man," 16 BIGGEST

8. Lee Wiley, "I Got A Right to Sing the Blues," POP MUSIC: THE EARLY YEARS
9. Gary Stewart, "Can't You See," OXFORD AMER.
10. Little Walter, "Roller Coaster," HIS BEST
Blues-folk heavy even for my 1200. I'm going to remove the little check by Gary Stewart's mannered cover of the Allman Brothers. Little Walter is a recent discovery rescued from the two hours lost watching Cadillac Man.
