The Songs:Ohia/Damien Jurado/TW Walsh show last night at the North Star was incredible. I’ve seen Jason/Songs:Ohia play in NYC on three different occassions, but this was the first I’ve been able to see him in Philadelphia. All three bands have the rock and stripped down versions and all playing their stripped down sets on a drizzling Thursday night. I haven’t seen Jeremy Dybash in many years, so I was excited to see him play drum for Damien. The combination was very successful. It was also the second time in a week that I’ve been at Pat’s Steaks past midnight getting cheesesteaks. It was also noted that Jim’s Steaks taste better, a highly controversial opinion, one which my parents also share. Of course, at 1am, Jim’s was closed.
I am half-disappointed that I missed the World Series game last night. 16-4 sounds like one crazy game. The Giants have to win 1 game in Anaheim to take the title, so that will make for some extremely interesting games to come.
It’s a slow, rainy day today. I played a Yellow6 record I bought in London and am now streaming the new Sigur Ros records, ( ), from a Danish website. Though I am very critical of Sigur Ros, it seems to be doing the trick so far, but everyone everywhere needs to abandon real audio. Yuck! Thanks for the link Mikael.
