Primus. No contest for me. Aloha, Brad

mooose, would you still need help Wednesday evening? I doubt I can get down to where your current place* is before 5:30pm or so. Aloha, Brad * Bank St. near Babylon, correct?

OK, but the winners will have to pass a drug test*... Aloha, Brad * Whether it's a test to ensure the winners haven't or have taken drugs is to be decided...

Notorious B.I.G.? (Well, it does say "Big Concert Announcement"...) Aloha, Brad

Here's Canoe's review of the show: http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2006/09/25/1893702.html Aloha, Brad

And you look much more attractive in a kilt. Aloha, Brad

I'd only go if Buckethead was still in the band. Aloha, Brad

I've noticed a problem that comes once in a while, but not always: in some of the posts I make, particularly those with URLs or smileys in them, the blank line I leave between the last line of the main part of the post and the "Aloha, Brad" sign-off isn't being displayed. It's there if you edit the post or quote it, but not when it's displayed. If I put two blanks in, only one gets displayed. I also recall this happening ('way back when) with lists, when the first blank after the end of the list wouldn't get displayed. Aloha, Brad

Lettuce 2002-06-09. thatpatguy turned me on to these guys, who were a bunch of (Berklee?) music students who found themselves at other bands' gigs asking if they could borrow gear to play; since they kept asking, "Hey, could you let us use your instruments?", they decided to call themselves "Lettuce." The music is straight-up instrumental jazz/funk (with horns and a guitar in the front line), eminently suitable to be included in a Tungsten Gruvsten compilation. Aloha, Brad

http://www.kensington-market.ca/ has links to and info on a lot of what's in the Market. Aloha, Brad

Is that a poster that's been put up around town? I didn't think you could pack that much in the way of text into/onto a poster and have it be effective, but that design (esp. with the text going right out to the edges; if it had fewer words and more whitespace, it might be easier to read, but wouldn't grab your attention as much) works well. Aloha, Brad

Yeah, but it's not "Another Song A Recording Of Which No One Will Hear", is it? Aloha, Brad

Carmen Townsend & The Shakey Deals. Aloha, Brad

Have you told us lately that the Doc Dylans show last night was recorded? Aloha, Brad

Mark, as your musical attorney, I strongly advise you to come to the Ottawa Fat Cats show. I also strongly advise bringing Alabama Man. Use force if you have to. Aloha, Brad

I'm a fan of Toronto singer/guitarist Janine Stoll, who I got to know via her association with Mr. Something Something, who backed her up on her latest album, "This Is Where We Bury It." I recorded her twice back in April, and she graciously (and without any prompting from me ) became part of the Live Music Archive: http://www.archive.org/details/JanineStollTrio Her trio includes her and the bassist and guitarist from Mr. Something Something. The April 12 show includes a wonderful rendition of Patti Griffin's "Top Of The World", done by just her. One of her side projects is Ladybird Sideshow, a group of female singer/songwriters that I haven't seen, but really want to. Aloha, Brad

I saw a listing for a show at Barrymore's on Saturday, Oct. 7, with TJH opening for Hylozoists, but that date on the October calendar now lists "All Of Your Friends" as the opening act. I don't think the show was ever listed on TJH's calendar. Aloha, Brad

According to http://www.jambase.com/headsup.asp?storyID=9188 Aloha, Brad

One trick I've done with my stealth mics (which are omnidirectional) is to tape them to whatever mic stand is in the middle of the stage; if it's one of those multi-part stands, I put the mics just above the "knee", one pointed left, one pointed right. The main downside (aside from it being stage micing, which reduces the crowd feel a bunch) is that you can end up spending a lot of time up near the stage if you want/need to check on things. Aloha, Brad

I've taped Jomomma a bunch of times (most recently Hallowe'en 2004 at the El Mocambo, along with nero and Contact); they're not (yet) part of the LMA, though. I've never been to a show at Jimmy Jazz, so don't know whether they're OK with it or whether there's anything there that could be co-opted into being a mic stand. Aloha, Brad

I'm tempted, but I don't think I'd be able to do it and then get (me and my gear) to Babylon for JSB/Lauzon. Aloha, Brad

Give him me best, Hux. Does he have access to music? Aloha, Brad

nero 2002-12-31. This was the one where they busted out "Tube", and "Help On The Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower" (which just started, and it's melting my brain ). Aloha, Brad
