Tuesday - ----------------------------------- * 7:30pm Heather Gold Show [live talk show, not a band] Heather is a friend of mine here in San Francisco. She's very funny, and had a great collection of guests. Derek Powazek was my favourite of the bunch. Wednesday - ----------------------------------- * 9:15pm Reign Over Me [a movie, not a band] * 12am Ari Hest * 1am AJ Croce I've been wanting to see Ari Hest for a few years. He's quite good. He's *very* tall. The girls like him. AJ Croce is a perennial favourite of mine, and highly recommended. He's Jim (Bad Bad Leroy Brown) Croce's son. Doesn't sound a thing like him, though. Absolutely brilliant pianist. He was joined by Steve Poltz for a couple of songs. Thursday - ----------------------------------- * 7pm Helvetica [a movie, not a band] * 10pm Apostle of Hustle * 11pm The Dears * 12am Paula Cole Hotel Cafe showcase * 12:30am The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello) * 1:15am songwriters in the round Was bummed I didn't really see anything good Thursday. The cover and political explanation of "This Land is Your Land" wrapping up the Hotel Cafe showcase was nice, though. Apostle of Hustle was subbing in for Rodrigo y Gabriela, who were turned back at the border. Sigh. Silly US immigration. As for Paula Cole: I arrived early; she started way late, and was blah. I left, quite disappointed. Friday afternoon - ----------------------------------- * Abra Moore * Two Loons for Tea * Kid Beyond I saw Two Loons For Tea a year and a half ago, and didn't really like them. This stripped-down version (three people instead of 8 (or 11, or whatever)) was terrific. I liked Abra Moore's set ... a bit ... but she seemed to be suffering from sound problems, so I made a note to see her full set later that night. Kid Beyond is always brilliant. It still amazes me what he does with his voice. Friday - ----------------------------------- * 8pm Mike Jones * 8pm Leigh Nash * 9pm Marit Larsen * 10pm Nathan * 10:30pm Amy Winehouse * 11pm Melissa McClelland * 12am Luke Doucet * 12am Abra Moore * 1am Justin Rutledge This night got off to a rough start. After half a song from Mike (or maybe it wasn't Mike, just some guy on piano), and a couple of songs from Leigh, I headed across town for Marit Larsen. At 9:30, frustrated by both the lack of music and the complete lack of communication as to the situation, I left. I tried to catch Adrienne Pierce back at the Nettwerk showcase. She, however, had started on time and was finished by 9:37, when I got there. "Nathan" is not a one-named guy, like Madonna, but actually four people -- two couples -- from Winnipeg. They were ok, but not great. My friend Natasha told me to meet her at La Zona Rosa for Amy Winehouse. Amy has quite the show. She has backup singers, a band, and a *lot* of hair. This was good, and there was a lot of energy, and I had fun. but I wasn't all that into it. I then caught the end of Melissa McClelland's set (who I definitely recommend) and the beginning of Luke Doucet's set (who is fantastic, and a favourite of mine). Then, I headed over to BD Riley's for Abra Moore. I was disappointed. Again, it was okay, but didn't excite me. Justin Rutledge, on the other hand -- he put on a great show. First band of the week I bought a CD from. Saturday: * 7pm Jon McLaughlin * 7:30pm Donovan * 8:30pm Quincy Coleman * 9:15pm Ronnie Day * 10pm AM * 10pm Metro Riots * 11pm Jenny Owen Youngs * 12am Hiromi (she cancelled, snowed in) * 12am Midlake * 1am Melissa Ferrick Jon was playing at the Austin Convention Center in a hall they had turned into a fake old-style saloon. The ASCAP showcase turned out to be *really* good. Donovan is the "Mellow Yellow" guy. He was okay. I saw half the set and left to grab dinner. I came back for Quincy Coleman (very good), Ronnie Day (also very good despite being loud) and AM (liked him much more this time around). My friend Steve took me over to see British rockers Metro Riots. They were even louder, but tolerable. Jenny Owen Youngs was fantastic. This woman is one of those own-the- stage people. She had good stories, talked while tuning (United Airlines broke her "good" guitar). She's funny, sassy, snarky and yes, has the songs to back it up. I saw her last year and had a few reservations about her musically, but no more. Midnight was Midlake, and I caught a couple songs by them. Some kind of rock band. Don't remember. Melissa Ferrick was a perfect way to end the week. She had the right combination of energy and mellowness. And she gave away free CDs ("My manager is going to hate me, but..."). :-) Movies - ----------------------------------- * Everything's Gone Green (Classic Douglas Coupland zaniness. Go see!) * A Lawyer Walks in to a Bar (Good documentary. Interesting cast of characters. Recommended. Would have been interested in more investigation into *why* the California bar is so much more difficult than other states, but that's a different film.) * Reign Over Me (Don Cheadle is one of my favourites, and Adam Sandler was surprisingly good) * Helvetica (Yes, about the font. Beautifully shot, but about 15 minutes too long.) Amusing notes - ----------------------------------- * There was a band named Holy Fuck and another band named Holy Shit. Someone should have put them on the same bill. * A band called "Canada" hailed from Ann Arbor, MI. * There are two musicians named Peter Walker -- one's from Los Angeles and one's from Woodstock. * Peter Adams (not Peter Bradley Adams, ex-eastmountainsouth) played.

While I have several cassette boot tapes of early and live, these only cost me $5 each, maybe I'll get to them later. I want to concentrate on Why Kant Tori Read? and Little Earthquakes Rarities, 2 CDs that cost me around $30 way back when. It seems to me that the more free copies that go out the less the Bootleggers will have to offer at rediculous prices. Same deal as before: CDr and postage from you and the same from me: hint: I have about all the Tori I want already, so think of different trading fodder. 8-) Bye, Kerry KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!! What's wrong with my back? ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #73 **************************
