So the Hot Snakes got back together for a little tour and this past weekend they passed through my area. As soon as the first notes were played, I quickly remembered why I love this band. They were great at both shows and I'm glad I had a chance to go. Hopefully I'll get around to scanning the negatives from these shows in the next few weeks. But for now, here's hoping for more Obits and Night Marchers stuff in the future.

Watching episodes of Portlandia inspired me to dust off some Sleater Kinney records. What a great band they were. I got into them kind of late and never thought I would get around to seeing them live because I'm just not into big clubs. Then right before their One Beat album, they played a show or two at the Village Underground in NYC. Nice small place. I quickly bought myself a ticket, had a great time seeing them, and was able to snap a couple of photos too.

I've been slacking on this whole blog thingy. Part of the reason is that I've run out of prints to upload to the interweb. I haven't been able to get into the darkroom for about two years now. So, I've gone to scanning negatives. Which is not a favorite activity for me. I much prefer the hands on approach that is print making in the darkroom. But that isn't an option for the time being, so here starts me posting up scanned negatives.

Joe

2010-12-22T23:29:00.002-05:00

Eight years ago today, I remember waking up for yet another day of work. My good friend and roommate was still up and he had a look of concern on his face when I said 'good morning' to him. He told me he had stayed up to tell me some bad news. "Joe Strummer died." It felt like a ton of bricks had hit me and the world had stopped. Damn. I contemplated calling out of work, but in the end, went on with the day. It was a busy work day so my mind didn't have much time to linger on this morning's news. That was until right before the end of the work day when All Things Considered reported on Joe's death. The world stopped again and that ton of bricks seemed to hit me a little harder. The evening was spent in a mournful haze. Joe and his music had been a constant in my life since the early '80s and had helped shape me as a person. I knew Joe was working on a new record and I was looking forward to the new year when that record would come out and the tours that would follow. It felt like I now had a big hole in my life. Then I thought of his family and how devastated they must be. My grief at Joe's passing must pale in comparison to theirs. I wanted to give them a hug.

At the recommendation of Jon Hiltz, I picked up the first Sticks and Stones single when it appeared in the record racks at Zeds. I had read the interview he did with them in his zine and wanted to hear them. I'm really glad I did. They were such a great band. I'm bummed I missed them at their one and only show in southern California, but I guess I wasn't scouring the pages of Maximum Rock'n'Roll enough back then. Luckily for me, I was able to catch some of the reunion shows they did every now and then a few years ago. I'm usually not a fan of reunion shows, but sometimes there's a band you just gotta go see again, or like in this instance, missed out on seeing back in the day. Anyway, I've recently found out that Chunksaah Records is releasing the Sticks and Stones demo that was recorded back in 1987. I will be adding this to my record collection. Here's a link so you can do the same: Sticks and Stones-1987

Sparkmarker

2010-08-10T17:28:00.002-04:00

Sparkmarker at some club in Hollywood, might've been Madam Wong's.
I totally forget the year, but I'm going to guess it was around the year 1996.

One downside to having lots of music at your disposal, is that sometimes very good music falls through the cracks and ends up collecting dust in the back of the record collection. Every once in a while I try to get out of the habit of listening to the old favs and blow the dust off a record or cd that hasn't been spun in a while. Today I'm listening to Sparkmarker. They were really good and I'm really enjoying having them blasting out of my speakers right now.
