Saw Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers this past weekend at my high school's Field Day. Man, these guys and gal are fantastic! Absolutely loved it. They played for maybe 50 people (300 folks were 100 yards away at a raffle - crazy scheduling), but played it like it was their last show. Much appreciated, and gained a new fan in me for sure.

Already sold out... I'm a bit pissed, but I've got a guy who used to work for the ball park, so I'm going to see if he can pull some strings for me.

Craig Finn is peeing his pants over this, I am sure.

Janelle Monae last night. wow just wow. Top five show for me. She's as good a showman as Springsteen and boy can she sing. The songs from he new album are even better live than on the record and the band are great.

Cody Chesnutt was the support act, and apart from the overly tight trousers, was one of the best support acts I've ever seen - very Marvin Gaye.

Score for Zip.

Pre kids, I might turn to Mrs Beebs and say, "you wanna ride bikes to Ohio and see some rock? It's only a hundred bucks."

Kids are the awesomest but I miss pre kid me.

Many years ago I lived in Athens, OH for a while and there was never anything cool ever going on within a two hour radius. I dreamed of festivals like this one back in those days. $100 is a great deal too. I'll be bringing my boys to DelFest next weekend. We go every year and they love it, but after dropping $600+ on tickets for the whole family and an RV dry pass, all I can say is it better not rain.

my Swans review isn't up yet, but i'll put in here anyways.

Swans are nothing if not uncompromising. The wall of oppressive sound. The intensity of an exorcism. The ingrained repetition of the songs (this concert would see six songs stretched over 100 minutes). Leader Michael Gira's been at it long enough to know that he doesn't give a fuck about what others think. It's his game, his piece, his way to say it. Dressed in resolute black or gray, the band pounded out rhythms and motifs that would have eroded the die had it been a federal coin mint.

Ostensibly touring on To Be Kind, which was released this past Tuesday, Swans don't deal in real time. They played two as-of-yet unreleased songs while actually playing more songs from the new record during their last visit in 2012. But no one around me complained. Seeing a Swans show is like a sonic baptism, a rite of passage that still has the same steel and fire three decades removed, when Gira and fellow original member Norman Westberg were excoriating demons on stage at the same excessive volume.

During the new "Don't Go," Westberg's application of volume attenuation on his guitar made it sound like repeated blasts of an ocean liner, and the aptly named Thor Harris pounded all sorts of notes from his percussion at tones that would make the Valkyries fall from Valhalla. Shaking the firmament indeed.

Great stuff, tin. As usual.
