All kinds of good music playing today! Big Star would sound good now. I wish I could catch Pere Ubu playing some time. I missed the RFTC reunion completely. Ever hear Living Colour do Final Solution? It's alright.
No, I haven't heard Living Color do that, I'll check that out. Speaking of covers, my roommate is waaaaay into the Melvins, and today I heard their cover of "Green Manalishi (w/ the Two-Pronged Crown) originally done by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, but popularized by metal fruits Judas Priest on their live album,
Unleashed In The East. Damn good stuff, I must say.
I had heard some Pere Ubu, not much, before I saw them open for Black Francis & Co. That show blew me away, they were the only redeeming moment from that show. The Pixies played two songs and left the stage, the3 show was oversold and the stage was falling apart. THis was at the Milk Bar in Jacksonville, FL on the Trompe Le Monde tour. My girlfriend found a way backstage, where we trashed the place 'cause we were so pissed about the show. I pretty much blame the venue, they sold wristbands outside for $30 to what was an already sold-out show, I got my money back for the tickets, and saw Pere Ubu for free. Cool enough.
