eric burdon is one of the best singers of all time - the animals singularly informed my freshman year of college, linking me to my parents who played 'we gotta get out of this place' out their dorm room windows in the late '60s. always so deperate, so strained and i simply couldn't imagine them giving a lackluster show.

thinking of doing a covers project - just me reinterpreting things like 'noise annoys' by the buzzcocks and doing some lame wanna be nico style stuff. i'm pulled both ways - wanting to be badass and demure in my vocals. oh, the life.

i can't possible think of a more annoying thing than a mainstream revival of rockabilly. that said, the world needs more of the cramps.

done with my first mix cd -i'm pretty disappointed with it bc my songs were so long and therefore not many on the cd - astro-brite, cornelius, june panic, the mountain goats, amanset, pram, felix the housecat, and the annoying electro re-interpretations of the strokes 'the diff'rent strokes.' this girl is going to freak out cause it's all shameless cheesy electonic pop music. arrgh.

last nite jim and jenny at pete's candy story - one time great bluegrass band weighed down to tutorial style performance by godforesaken 'brother where art...' yuppie scum crowd. more attention to spiritually oriented songs and less enthusiam. i guess i'm used to going with my drunken, caterwauling friends who'd scream requests halfway through each song. probably not going to see them again.
