Music business

Some things for your weekend:

*Maybe Pete is playing a Ramones tribute show at the Pussycat Lounge (96 Greenwich St.) in NYC Saturday night. If you continue to insist on not attending Maybe Pete shows, eventually I will have to come find you and beat you. And if you don't think I have the time, why don't you scan through the posts on this blog? I've got the time, friend. And 29 years of pent-up hostility. Try me.

*The Yayhoos have both a new website and a new CD. And as if that weren't exciting enough, their website features pictures taken by me, dammit. I'm not credited, so you'll just have to trust me. Anyway, you can listen to lo-fi versions of the songs on the CD and then order it and get it delivered months before the official street date. So do it. Now.

*Hayday, featuring the vocal stylings of Greg "Xmastime" Wilson and the contributions of members of Marah, now has a page up on everyone's favorite one-stop-pedophilia-shop, MySpace. Check out the songs on there. Someday, there will be a Hayday CD. Someday.

* Speaking of MySpace, there is now a trailer up on Sugar Hill Records' MySpace site for the mini-documentary "Mule Train," documenting Scott Miller and the Commonwealth's 2004 Amtrak Crescent tour from New Orleans to New York. I was lucky enough to see three shows on the tour, and it was a helluva time. The documentary looks to be a cool document of the tour.

* One more thing (well, two). Check out brief, poor-quality Avett Brothers live footage on Google Video and YouTube. CAUTION: There is much screaming.
On the YouTube one, keep your eye on the older woman at the side of the stage when Seth (the guitar player) really starts screaming. She no likey. Also, after watching both, choose your favorite Seth: bearded or clean-shaven.

That is all for today. Be well.

It's a big day for Tinsel and Rot, folks. Royalty has visited in the person of Eric "Roscoe" Ambel. Tinsel and Rot is not worthy.

Seriously, when I went to the website and saw my pictures, it made my year. Glad I could help the cause. Look forward to seeing you guys again soon.

And, really, everyone should buy the new Yayhoos CD. And the old Yayhoos CD ("Fear Not The Obvious"). And Roscoe's solo CDs. And Dan Baird's solo CDs. And the new CD from Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kickin' Team. And anything involving Keith Christopher.

That should cover it. For now.
