This show was a lot of fun. All bands new to me; all bands great. I mostly saw the right side of the stage because I was working the door a lot so I had to lurk in the entrance.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Lady riding up front hugging and kissing and play fighting the driver whenever we're stopped.
Driver tells the guy dancing and rapping to sit down while we're in motion. Then asks what song it is. Guy says he's freestyling to country music on his phone. Driver says he's fun.
The bus at night rules.

We went to this. M & me were sitting between two friends, one a bit older and one a bit younger than us. I could explain to neither how hard The Crow hit if you were 14 in 1994.

First Marigold show for me. Derailleurs were great like always, and Saliba were new to me but I dug them a lot. I didn't give Slant of Light the attention they deserved because I was so fuckin tired by that point but they impressed me enough to want to catch them again when I'm in a fit state.

Jonathan Coulton at City Winery in Boston last night. It's a somewhat awkward place to see music but JC was as charming as ever. (Mostly) alphabetical set list made for a little game of guess-what's-next with clues. Ambitious "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" cover was a highlight.

LCD Soundsystem with Gustaf in New Haven last night. Both bands seem like they oughta be animated into Scooby-Doo episodes. I'm not sure what I mean, but I know it's a compliment. Anyway, it was terrific of course. LCD is LCD, Gustaf was a fun surprise.

This was a lot of fun. Forbes new outdoor performance set up is real nice. Never seen either band before but I'll definitely catch both again whenever I can.

Poppy at the Palladium in Worcester last night. She's playing with heavy music performance tropes like toys and it's amazing.

We went to the Rilo Kiley show at the park on Tuesday. I didn't know they were this good. Like if your favorite band's favorite band in the 70's were also dreamy hipsters from the 00's.

Ani DiFranco at Treehouse Brewing last night. Excellent musicianship and a delightful environment as expected.
Banter took some odd turns between songs, but it's Ani. Making it weird is part of the brand.
Angel of Montgomery by John Prine cover in the encore was an unexpected highlight for me.

There's this subgenre of... I guess new age music that goes
-drone note
-ping pong... ping
-human voice goes AEAOOOOOOOOOHOYYAEOOA
-repeat with no changes forever.
that I think is supposed to be relaxing. It makes me so angry I want to smash it with hammers.

I suppose I should be tapering my coffee consumption what with the present risk of price shocks.
I will not be doing so.

Million dollar idea: a dispensary with a big banner out front that says "This one has signs that explain how to shop here and what's available and what it costs."

Guster/The Mountain Goats double bill outdoors at Mass MoCA last night. I was delayed and missed The Mountain Goats. Guster was great. Told us to boo them off the stage instead of cheering for their encore, which we did. Guster's affable flower children and TMG's Prousty neurotics got along fine.

Weird Al Yankovic in Saratoga Springs yesterday. His stuff has a tendency to be very of its moment, and he doesn't do anything stupid like try to keep the material relevant. It winds up being an interesting journey through the preoccupations of the past 40 years.
Lots of kids having fun.
