it’s fun to hear people here talk about “the old days”… this guy edward colver used to live in a friend’s building. he took most of the pictures you see of the LA scene 80-83 or so. it was fun when he’d show us pictures, then comment on where the subject was today… “that guy’s dead, that guy sells insurance, that guy used to dig up graves and is now a kindergarten teacher…”
]]>Robert: I just saw some Lets Active LPs in temporary corner store the other day. Couldn’t believe some of the great stuff they had there. I saw the band in ‘88 at Syracuse and they closed with “Back in Black.” That girl in the band did it perfectly.
Bill: You continue to make me jealous with your concert exploits. I saw X at 9:30 in 2003, I think, but sans Juliana Hatfield. Bastard.
Tony: I wasted four hours putting them up for you.
Ben: I still have the drumstick. Do you still have the guitar part killed by NIN?
Ronin: I always wondered what happened to those guys. Thanks for the Lesbians on Ecstasy tip.
Jim: The tweaking drove me to the Guinness. Deborah drove me to jam searing-hot forks in my eyes while plunging from the roof of the Boulder Theatre.
Greg: You know we need to have a Guinness somewhere in Asia together. ]]>
Haven’t had a Guinness in ages — but this post has me craving one. I go back to Boulder in a few weeks if I can hold out that long. Pity Bullfrog’s is gone.
]]>Shame on you for drinking on the job. Was it Deborah that drove you to Guinness or the endless tweaking?
And I, too, am glad you’re posting again. ]]>
And speaking of blogs of people you used to look up to, check out Steve Kilbey from the Church: http://stevekilbey.blogspot.com/
Hell, I STILL look up to the guy. The Church’s recent music and his blog prove to me that he’s a friggin’ genius…
