<four hundred!> I wonder if Mr. McNally would care to enlighten us on his
comments...
Aside from that, I just wanted to be item #400

I'm just thinking that a Mike Watt rock opera about his relationship
with his father is an album I'd probably want to go to some effort to
avoid.. I suppose I could've taken a more straightforward way of
expressing that..

Mark is correct-- who had the idea Firehouse was a bad synth pop band? They
were definitely molded in the glam-metal tradition..
Glam-hard rock/metal..ahhh..I actually like some of it, oddly

Wow, that's impressive, but who knows, maybe I'll rediscover something I
like from that period.

I missed the show damnit. Mike, this album has received very high
critical praise. I don't think it's about his relationship with
his father, but about his father.

Yeah, I missed the show, too. Although I haven't heard the new album, I
have heard _Ball-Hog or Tugboat?_(1995), featuring numerous guest artists,
including Henry Rollins, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Red Hot Chili Peppers'
Flea, and Lemonheads' Evan Dando, among others, and it's a pretty good
listen. Especially impressive is the cover of Funkadelic's "Maggot
Brain", with some impassioned guitar work by Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis.

You forget Capercaille the night before Frances Black -- amazing SCottish
band. I fear that I will be run off my feet that night. But it will be
worth it!

I went to school with one of the guys in Three Men and a Tenor. I'll have
to check 'em out, sometime.

Yeah, I saw them playing at the A2 art fair a while ago. My dad was a little
miffed by there name- "What are they implying, that tenors aren't men?"- but
then, he's a tenor...
Come to think of it, so am I, sometimes...

I was at the book store, yesterday, checking out the new mutliple-copy
edition of _The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music_. At $25 a pop, and
at least nine volumes wide, this is an investment. Luckily, you can buy
it in pieces: 50s,60s,70s,80s,blues,r&b,folk,country, and indie. Take
your pick! Entries are written with precision and insight. The best
musical encyclopedia buy for your buck.

Sounds like a good candidate for CD.. Since my last move I don't
really have room for 9-volume encyclopedias of anything but it does
sound interesting..
