Hey there, My apologies that his post has nothing to do with Twangcast for Macs nor Blodwyn Pig. Went to check out Panther Burns of Tues, with The Goblins opening. Frankly, was not too impressed. The band certainly was tight, and Tav's wife - led guitarist (right?) was excellent. However, every tune was mid-tempo rock a billy and _very_ same sounding. Beats, riffs, rhythms, etc. Maybe that's the point, but it wore on me after 5 songs or so. Can anyone in Chicago who is even hipper than me fill me in on The Goblins? It was their 25th anniversary show - yet the band members were all under 30. Apparenly they are the chicago rock version of Menudo - adding and subtracting members over the years. They played rock, hard core, punk and some surf as well. And were hilarious on stage. So how much of this is myth and how much is true? Anyone? Made it down to Goose Island last night to check out the Robbie Fulks (free) show. It was tucked down in their basement - just Fulks and his guitar. Two sets, good selection of stuff, some unrecorded and just about every request. These requests bookended by American Pie (the first verse anyway) requested by Alex to start the night in honor of the 40th anniversary of the day the music died. And Burritoville, also requested by Mr. Millar. Which has to be heard to be believed. Robbie's poppier tunes, (um, She must think that I like poetry, Little King, other stuff from LKSN) held up rather well on just the acoustic guitar. Cool. Check him out every Wed in Feb and get there on time, cause thats when it starts. So if I mix Oatmeal Stout and Milk Stout - is that breakfast? Later... CK I book package tours for Dollywood and Euro-Dollywood, that's in Alabama. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
