Wheel of Names Collection Playthrough #140 The Beatles ~ Love Songs

Day 24: The Beat Farmers November 1990, The Barn at UC Riverside - The Beat Farmers were led by the late, great Country Dick Montana who died onstage in 1995. One of the best bar bands I’ve seen. Play something by someone who leaves it all on stage. Besides being where I was introduced to the...

Fresh Grab Jason Isbell ~ Foxes in the Snow

Woo! On its way!

Day 23: Björk / Interpol / Jesus & Mary Chain / Arctic Monkeys / Gillian Welch & David Rawlings / Noisettes April 2007, Coachella – Went primarily for Björk and the first Jesus & Mary Chain show in 6 years. This was back when Coachella sold one day passes. Saw a fantastic variety of bands that...

That was glorious, thank you!

I've spent most of my life in California, except a few years in Chicago and Minneapolis. The first show I saw when I moved to San Diego was at the aforementioned Belly Up Tavern, and it was Golden Smog. Jeff Tweedy was part of this run and (although its not on this setlist link) and performed...

Beach walk at Mission Bay this morning.

Monthly Challenge Cross Post Kicking Saturday off right. Grateful Dead ~ One From The Vault

Day 22: Grateful Dead December 1989, Great Western Forum – Hearing the Dead bust out Help On The Way --> Slipknot! --> Franklin’s Tower to start the second set was a surprise in the best possible way. Play a rarity, or something that would blow you away if you heard it live. Gotta go with the...

Update: I'm an idiot.

As a trombone player back in high school, I'm worried those fish and gators don't have the right embouchure (or lips) to play brass instruments. Lots of throwbacks if thats the album cover, surprised Han Tyumi isn't hiding in there somehwere. Or maybe he is.

Wheel of Names Collection Playthrough #138 Social Distortion ~ Live At The Roxy

Wheel of Names Collection Playthrough #137 The English Beat ~ Special Beat Service

Wheel of Names Collection Playthrough #136 Shabaka ~ Afrikan Culture

So of my two random brackets, one of my winning teams was picked 0.1% of the time for all brackets, the other is at 0%. I'm either going to be a genius, or an idiot. Most likely an idiot.

Wheel of Names Collection Playthrough #135 Belle & Sebastian ~ Dear Catastrophe Waitress

I never saw The Clash, but I sure saw Big Audio Dynamite at the Roxy in 1987 with my brother. In retrospect, might have been the last time I went to a show with him. He's not much of a concert guy.
