    I'm assuming you meant ACC eh? Well if so that will special won't it!

    I am really looking forward to this one, it will be my first time seeing Neil in any form!

    Hey afro poppa,

    Yes I meant the ACC gig.

    I hope we have a chance to chat before and/or after the gig, so I can see what it is like again for someone to enjoy Neil Young for the first time.

    The July 10 ACC show will be my thirty-fifth Neil Young concert with my first happening back on August 18, 1993.

    R.E.M., King Crimson Vets Form Slow Music

    April 28, 2006, 10:35 AM ET

    Greg Prato, N.Y.

    Comprised of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, and ex-Ministry/current-R.E.M. drummer Bill Rieflin, Slow Music is one of the more unlikely rock collaborations to emerge in some time. The completely improvised band also features keyboardist Hector Zazu, bassist Fred Chalenor and drummer Matt Chamberlain.

    "It's based on the idea of space, rather than filling space," Rieflin tells Billboard.com. "In an improvised context, instead of saying, 'Hey, play this,' I'm saying, 'If you don't know what to do, play nothing.' With six guys on stage, there's going to be at least one person to try and keep the ball rolling. Whereas so-called ambient or textural music ideas tend to live in a programmed context, I wanted to put it in a performing and playing context with musicians. In a way, it's a challenge for the musicians to learn how to work with space."

    With shows coming up in May, Slow Music has also assembled a debut recording, "Live at the Croc," taped last October at Seattle's Crocodile Cafe. "Right now, this is just a limited edition kind of a deal," Rieflin says. "There will be an expanded version for sale commercially -- it'll come out somehow, somewhere. I've been talking to a few people about it." Since the music is completely improvised, there are no set song titles.

    Although the upcoming mini-tour focuses primarily on the West Coast, further dates always remain a possibility. "We're taking it one step at a time," Rieflin says. "We did one show last October. Everyone was very excited about it, so the next step is to jog down the coast, and if everyone is still talking to each other at the end of that, we'll see if we can take it somewhere else."

    As for R.E.M., for which Rieflin has manned the drums since 2003, Rieflin reveals, "The band's on hiatus. The idea at the end of the last tour, which ended in July, was really to take a year off, without having to even think about it. There was a three-year period of quite intense work, [so this is] some needed time off. There's some discussion about cranking things up in autumn, maybe winter."

    One former band Rieflin won't be collaborating with is Ministry, for which he drummed on classics like "Land of Rape and Honey" and "Psalm 69" "The chance of that happening are an absolute zero," he insists. "There's no reason in hell for me to do it."

    Here are Slow Music's tour dates:

    May 5: Portland, Ore. (Aladdin Theatre)

    May 6: Seattle (Showbox)

    May 9: San Francisco (Great American Music Hall)

    May 12: San Juan Capistrano, Calif. (Coach House)

    May 13: Los Angeles (El Rey Theatre)

  4. I'm in section 103, row 14 (and I think is was seats 17 and 18)

    Not cheap. And I couldn't bring myself to splurge on the $150 seats (the $99 are already out of my price range but... you only live once right?... right?...)

    That's right "you only live once," words I live by and likely the reason why I'm not a home owner yet.
