We iz american primitives. Stay the month and catch the Backwards Sam Firk show while you are at it. But get to the show early, cuz the Michael Hurley show was jam-packed. You know what I'm saying? I missed Samara a couple weeks ago doing her Kim's Video Blooze, maybe you will see me there this week. Oh, and Little Feat at the Hot Tin Roof later on this month too. It's like the 4th of July every day on this rock.

I clicked on this topic cause I used to live on Martha's Vineyard. I know where this Hot Tin Roof is too. I have nothing else to say that could be considered interesting or informative.

I wanted to come to MV to work and live this summer, but didn't know where I'd work or live.

Aboveground Records is my favorite record store in the United States.

Dear Scott, I read a story in the Times about the "Jaws" festival that was held near you recently. The shitheels -- Spielberg, Dreyfuss and Scheider would not attend -- but Peter Benchley, who said he was old and useless, did. I thought that was the really fine of him.

Richard Shaw couldn't attend because he was dead.

If there was a festival or festival(s)I could have automatically attended, that would have been one of them.

I love Peter Lang. I've gone so far as to collect his Flying Fish lps.

How come hipster never talk about Flying Fish? Is it unhip? I guess it is. Could it be the next unexplored label? Skot, we should start talking up our Flying Fish lps. We could pocket some coin.

But I'm all about seeing the oldsters. I saw BOC last nite and I am seeing one Robert Percy Plant next Saturday.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:19 (nineteen years ago)

i alrady posted the BOC setlist to tha Noize Bored \, but I'll repost here, for george's benefit if nothing else..:

The Red And The Black*
O.D.'d on Life Itself
Burnin' For You
E.T.I.
Shooting Shark
Buck's Boogie
Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll
Then Came The Last Days of May
Godzilla
Don't Fear the Reaper
----------------------------
Hot Rails to Hell
Dominance and Submission

*I can't believe they didn't open with "Stairway to the Stars"! They ALWAYS open with "Stairway to the Stars"!! Kind of a truncated set though; no "ME262" no "Career of Evil" no "Joan Crawford". I actually found myself enjoying "Shooting Shark" a fairly lame song from the crappy Revolution By Night lp; this new kid they got playing drums is great, he really made the song.

Buck really is still pretty amazing !!!! why they keep giving the walking dead Lanier multiple solo spots, I will never know. I love Allen, but boy, he sucks...

I saw BOC last nite

Where did you see them?

Well, that's a set that's great. Not many people here who have actually seen BOC do "Cities on Flame" with Albert. But Manny Bloom does an OK job.

I always loved "Last Days of May," close to Buck's finest moment among a few. Buck has always been one, if not the most, lyrical guitar soloist of his time. He killed Nugent, whose power is all in is riffs and fills, and everyone else who was bluesy and Hendrix-oid because he is so --not like Hendrix.-- Maybe Mike Bloomfield a little? Some early Grateful Dead?

But you're entirely OTM that "Career of Evil" is unwisely neglected.

― George Smith, Monday, 4 July 2005 06:29 (nineteen years ago)

dude, George, this is actually the fourth time I have seen them in the last 6 years or so! As I say, the set was a bit truncated. Usually they throw a few bones to the hardcore audience; they still pull out thing like "BEfore the Kiss, A Redcap" , "Quicklime Girl" , the aforementioned "ME 262" ... I mean, It's a great set, it really is!!

And there is still the big three of Bloom, Dharma, and Lanier. So it's not like it's some horrible facsimilie. It's pretty close to the real deal. You are basically just missing the BOUChard brothers.

But these new kids they god are pretty good. I daresay (and God will strike me down for this), this new kid on drums is as good as Bouchard (who we all know was ... average, quite frankly; i LOVE him, but let's put the cards on the table.)

Oh, to answer the question: Blue Oyster Cult headlined the second day of the beloved NAPERVILLE RIB FEST out in beautiful Naperville, Illnois....

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:35 (nineteen years ago)

stormy, i'm so envious!

― the underground homme (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:36 (nineteen years ago)

tonight's headliner was Terrible Ted...

I seriouisly thought about going, but in the end I couldn't justify the two-hour round trip train out to the burbs to see Ted's set (being the pathetic liberal city-dweller that i am ...)

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

oh jody! it was great! the closest I have ever been to Eric Bloom in my life!!

seriously, I could have thrown a tomato at Eric Bloom and hit him, he was so close. And the three previous times I saw BOC it was always at this amphitheatre in Chicago where you are somewhat close to the stage, but still assigned seating type affairs; whereas this Naperville Rib Fest thing was totally general admission! and it was 7$ to get into the Rib Fest (which includes all entertainment)

The ribs sucked, but hey, the entertainment was great! It was crazy, there were all these teenage kids totally blowing their brains out to BOC. It was a head trip to be sure... it's weird, you hear about these crazy suburban fests and you wonder about the clienele ... or the reception these type of headliners might receive (esp when they are 'washed up' rockers), but man, Naperville fuckin LOVED boc; Naperville was ON FLAME with rock and Roll...

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:44 (nineteen years ago)

the best was, when they started "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll", this like older, say 40-ish, three hundred pound or so Hispanic woman totally rushed the area where I was standing, and was just going nuts; mouthing the words to the song (and she knew all the words), thrashing around, exhorting those of us around her to go crazy with her; it was fucking beautiful. Just one of those classic "You had to be there" moments. but the whole thing was crazy. there were cute little suburban fifteen year old or so white kids who fuckin knew every word to things like "Godzilla" and even "Cities on Flame". Wow. It was intense.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 4 July 2005 06:56 (nineteen years ago)

That show sounds hot. And I am surprised that 15 year old kids would be that into BOC for some reason.

I would like to give a shout-out to Chris L. who puts on all the cool shows here on the island that I never go to.

"Not many people here who have actually seen BOC do 'Cities on Flame' with Albert."

Raises hand.

One of my best buddies in Jr High School was Eric Bloom's nephew. He got lots of comp tix. I've seen 'em zillions of times. Well, maybe a dozen. With lots of cool bands, too. Triumverat! Thin Lizzy! The Faces (?!?) Kiss / Teenage Lust / Iggy.

Once my friend brought me back a piece of wedding cake from Eric Bloom's wedding. It was in one of those aluminum tins with a white lid. It had this inscription on the lid:

To Jeff:

My heart is black
And my lips are cold
Eat this cake
Hot or cold

(With the BOC logo thingy.)

I'll never forget that!
