M. Ward

[EC]

the opening band was good. sad though they have all those problems.

Yeah - it must've been extremely frustrating for them.  (I missed the first little bit when they came out, so I didn't catch who they were - do you remember/know?)  

I'm glad that he's coming back in April.  That'll be really wicked.

[RyanCorpse]

i'm sorry i don't .  i would like to see m. ward with a full band again for sure.

EC, any other shows you looking forward to?

EC, any other shows you looking forward to?

Well, I'm looking forward to the big My Morning Jacket tour.  There are no dates on the shows page, and I KNOW NOTHING, but I'm still looking forward to it.  :)

Steve Earle is playing Friday.  I don't have a ticket, but if I can't get one tomorrow, I'm going to try and figure it out.

A good friend pointed out that Billie Joe Shaver is coming in August, and if I'm in town, I will definitely see it.

I can't wait to see M. Ward again in April.  I love Lee's Palace - that place holds a lot of good memories for me.  (A boyfriend in highschool used to play there, and I'd sneak in by us saying that I was "crew".  heh.)

Loretta Lynn is playing in Niagara stupid Falls in two weekends, and I'm going to try and see that show.  But I have my doubts that I can make it.

I saw one of the guys from The Wayne Omaha on the streetcar today, and thought that I would really love to see them again soon.

There's a VERY fun Bob Wills tribute night at Lula on Sunday with lots of cool folks.  My Uncle is the drummer for the band that is hosting, but he's going on tour with another band, so he won't be there.  I'm working the bar that night, so that's cool.  (ie don't have to pay)

I'm seeing the McGarrigle Sisters at Hugh's Room at the end of March, and then the next week, same place, I'm seeing Melanie.  I'm REALLY fucking excited about those two shows.

Michael Brennan's got a new record done, and his cd release party is coming up.  That should be a good one.  Do you know him?  Last time I saw him play, it was almost all covers, but it was really good covers.  Like, seriously great country covers.  Really nice.

Oh!  This isn't really a concert, but I think David Sedaris is coming to Toronto in May.  That should be wicked.

Ramblin' Jack Elliott's playing Hugh's Room at the end of the month.  I'd like to see that show.

Holy shit.  I just noticed that The Wedding Present is coming.  That's very exciting news.  

Okay I'll stop now.

What about you?

[EC]

Kings of Leon are at The Opera House tomorrow night, but it's sold out, and I'm working.  Are you going?

p.p.s.  FUCK Steve Earle is fucking sold out.  Wow.  That makes me really sad.  Wow.

[MMJ_fanatic]

Have any more from this show.

nah. go ahead man. I love fixing stuff :)

the trick is to resize em to around 550 width before you upload em to imageshack.
or... keep em big but use the thumbnail link that imageshack gives you.

i wish jim and m.ward would make a whole album together.  :D

[EC]

Mmm, I just got it, too.  I feel like there is such amazing new music happening these days.  Is anybody else really damn excited about all of it?  

RyanCorpse, I just checked, and he's coming back to Toronto on April 17th at Lee's Palace.  Isn't that wicked?  Can you be sure to wear a short-sleeved shirt this time so that I can see your special tattoos?  ;)

[MMJ_fanatic]

HEY!  so I just heard on the radidio that Kings of Leon got an opening spot on the U2 tour--pretty cool hey 8)

I'm trying to picture it...  It's totally cool for Kings of Leon.  More exposure = wicked.  

Well, perhaps old U2 aren't as far gone as I'd thought...

I got my tickets last night!  It's very exciting that he's coming twice so soon after the last one.  

And the boys at Soundscapes and I talked about him last night.  I did that thing where I turn into a nonsensical geek when I'm talking out loud about an artist/band that I like.  But they were geeking out, too.  I was like:

"Dudes, I put on the last one [trans of vinc.] and I was like, within three seconds, I was like 'Holy shit'."

And they're nodding their heads, and then the one guy says:

"Man, I was the same way.  It's so amazing."

and I go:

"Yeah.  And the new one is pretty incredible, too."

and then he told me that he hasn't had a chance to listen to the new one, because he doesn't want to hear it at the store -  he wants to hear it at home, but he's working so much...

Anyhow.  I like being a nerd in a record store with like-minded nerds.

Just listening to Transistor Radio today (again, again, again), and wanted to say that I love the "ahhhh" bit (with Jim) on Fuel for Fire.   :)

Also found some pics of the Toronto show here: http://www.chromewaves.net/concertPhotos.php?concertPhotosID=77

So the opening act was Brett Randall - anybody know who that is, or where to find out about him?  I can't seem to find him anywhere, and I don't even know if he's local or not...  I liked his songs.  

Oh man, I also enjoy the organ on this record.  It's really so good.

just saw m. ward in Austin at The Parish



he sounded wonderful and was quite the showman. many people we met that night had a lot of love for some jacket as well.

i have a love affair with that hollow body guitar. so shiny and so red.

[EC]

You're a saint!  (ha!)

Hey, was he playing with the band, or solo?  And who opened?

That IS a fine guitar.  

[whothrewthecake]

he played a few songs alone, but mostly played with the band norfolk and western, who also opened. they accompanied him nicely. he's a very cool dude and puts on a very cool show.

[EC]

Yay!  That's the band he's going to play with here in a week and a half.  :)

[Chills]

And he's coming to Belgium too!

Has anybody heard his cover of Story Of An Artist by Daniel Johnston? It's on the discovered/covered cd. Really nice

His new disc is great too, I picked it up a week ago
