it was announced to be the performance of his 3rd opera and because there was almost no time for appreciation in between, i guess it was.

i really liked it. beefheartian stuff!

in the last the watt from pedro show, watt tells us he wants to tour Europe in the fall with the Hyphenated Man opera.

anyone heard this? I think it's oop. It's the DOS cd which combines the first two DOS vinyl releases. Interesting stuff. It's Watt and kira from Black Flag, his ex-wife. So yeah it's two basses and both of them singing. It's really interesting stuff.

I'm a huge Watt fan. Big musical influence. Seems to be a supernice guy too, I emailed him to let him know how much HYPHENATED MAN blew me away. He seemed very grateful and appreciative. I mean, what an amazing musician. On HYPHENATED MAN, listen to the guitar riff 47 seconds into track 2. So good! Man I could go on and on about that album in particular, so many little gems, the way the instruments interplay is beyond genius.

Anyway...

by the way, this FINALLY got a us release:

I want to talk about DOS again. Very very strange listening experience but really entertaining. They actually do a cover of PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY!

uh yeah and I'm talking about them again.

Uno Con Dos

BLOWS MY FUCKING MIND

You will not believe the bass interplay on this album. FUCK.

STU, PAULY.. you guys would eat this shit up.

I was going to miss the Missingmen when they came through Milwaukee since it's a 21+ show and I'm just 20 but fuck that there's no way I don't show.

Show last night was GREAT! Got to talk to Tom Watson for a bit during the opening act. He was chillin in the crowd with everyone. Met Mike Watt. Got a pic with him but you cant see anything cause it was taken on my phone. Pisses me off. I did get a few good pics of the show. These turned out the best

watt's account of sharing bill with northampton wools and how it felt to play for Thurston's mother-scroll down to his April 5 entry. I'm going to his chicago gig next week.
