BSR: I've Been Riding With The Ghost

The Magnolia Electric Co. is good. I have a feeling this “Low-Fi” video won’t do this performance justice. Here is a video of an old Songs: Ohia tune, “I've Been Riding With The Ghost”.
My bad, I totally spaced during the jam and ended the recording. If you haven’t figured it out by now or listened to Songs: Ohia or Magnolia Electric Co. before, I’ll go ahead and tell you, their songs average from 6 to 8 minutes per. People are starting to stare at me as I hold up my phone, either they are impressed with my ability to hold a 2.3 ounce device above eye level for close to 10-minutes at a time (it’s all kinetics baby) or they are quietly judging me for poaching their beloved Indie Rock with obvious plans to put this video on the Bushido Way or even worse You-Tube, then everyone will know about Magnolia Electric Co. And then the band will become main-stream and suddenly everyone in this room right now will lose cool points and we won’t be “sofa-king” clever and ironic.

Byaahhh!!! Blast you Indie crowd-“Well, my name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall, and I hate you one and all, damn your eyes” (Thanks Cash) Or maybe no one is really staring at me, perhaps I should take my foot off the Budweiser throttle and apply some brakes to this Rock & Roll rollercoaster. Best not, I could offend the Rock Gods and they would show their displeasure with something totally un-cool like another Duran-Duran album but this one produced by Eddie Money (Wait, Eddie Money was Money there for a spell).

Whatever, damn these guys are good. I have a feeling that Molina’s voice will probably come over the phone as feedback-distortion, but what the heck. As Goldfinger just said, “A good tune can get you to the next gas station.” And we are well on our way.

BSR: Watson Twins at the Village Tavern

2 Opening Acts on Monday nite and the Watson Twins just started at 10 PM. Maybe that decision to play-through wasn’t such a smart idea. Goldfinger and I seem to be on a mission to increase the pile of empties in the Village Tavern’s recycling bin. Just ran into Jay-Bird, he’s here with some dudes from Millennium Music. Jay-Bird is chewing gum and not drinking. Obviously, somebody is going to be hurting tomorrow and that someone is probably not Jay.


Everybody Likes Twins
I just had a Brief chat with the Watson Twins after their set; they’re hot in a tall drink of water “Indie” way. The one with the hat-wait they’re both wearing hats, keeps on about them being sisters; hence the name, Watson Twins. You don’t have to sell it sister, I get it. Two over six-foot tall brunettes that can sing, I’d assume in a group of 1,000 people that you were related. Whatever, if solid vocals and rhythm is what you dig in an "Alt-Country Indigo Girls" type of way then you will dig the Twins. This message is brought to you by SunCom iNotes Plus.
