OK… Good. Now what?
Good question. Well, I’ve been thinking of working up some “stuck in the 90s” stuff about Chavez and the Afghan Whigs, the latter possibly linked to my reflections on seeing the Twilight Singers at the Avalon recently. Although it’s been blogged elsewhere repeatedly/recently I also have some stuff to say about Bishop Allen’s “Corazon” and the sadly out-of-print Left Banke catalog. So I’m in the “pre-planning stages” for these.
Also been seeing much bigger shows than I’m used to: Deerhoof and Radiohead at the Greek Theatre last week, Belle & Sebastian at the Hollywood Bowl tonight. Considering the most recent show I attended before that was Team Shi, Health and Bark Bark Bark playing a crowded loft off of Adams… well, there’s some contrast, and I’m cogitating on this as well.
And I owe my friends at Flak Magazine a well-overdue piece about the Mountain Goats.
So. Now what?
I look forward to anything you have to say about the whigs and the ’90s. It’s about time someone tried to define that decade outside of the Rolling Stoned Cobain nostalgia that’s become the norm. And I know you’ll do the Whigs the justice they deserve.
A Mountain Goats piece for their lyrcis feature, maybe? Even if not, rock on, brother.
