Jay Farrar

going to see Lucinda this summer and just found out that Jim White is opening for her! His new one is great!

I just saw phish at Keyspan park in Brooklyn 6/17 and 6/18.
Plan on heading into see Jay at Prospect Park as my good buddy and fellow fan lives in Park Slope. Nice!

Since the whole Lollapalooza tour has been cancelled, I'll be seeing The Bob Dylan Show instead of Wilco at the Molson Amphitheatre.
The Bob Dylan Show will be opening his tour of minor leage ballparks at the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY on Friday August 6th.
The bill will be coheadlined with Willie Nelson of which there are around twenty dates. The Hot Club of Cowtown will be the opener.
Tickets for the whole tour will be GA and the first leg goes on sale this Saturday June 26th.

Which on you gonna go to then? Richmond Fontaine I'd love to see live!!!

the plan is to go to the music fest for the day. they usally shut it down and start sending the crowd home before midnight. we're going to try and duck out a little early and catch the end of the richmond fontaine show after that. the bars can stay open until 2:30 and if they have a late start they may still be playing. richmond fontaine will be back on the west coast later this summer. two cow garage is going to open up some shows for them after their new record is released in august.

+ Red Cloud--another great band..on the Up & Coming Tip

+ Old 97s this August (cheesey radio "rock fest") but they still rock.

+ Thee Shams

+ The Samples

+ DJ Greyboy

+ Lucinda Williams

I forgot to mention the highlight of my summer.
Chris Hillman & Herb Pederrson, Bernie Leadon and a Flying Burrito Brothers tribute to Gram Parsons @ Exibition Grounds Toronto, ON July 17th
Chris Hillman as you all should know is the original bassist in The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers.
Bernie Leadon was the lead guitarist in the Flying Burrito Brothers and the original lead guitarist in The Eagles.
It should be a great day of Byrds, Parsons, Eagles songs and even Dylan some Bob Dylan covers to be sure.

I am very envious of TimmyB!! Your summer music schedule is awesome!!

I love Ontario, and was seriously thinking of heading that way in August for a week or so. I would kind of like to make a road trip and catch the Wilco shows in Ottawa and Montreal, then Lollapalooza in Toronto.

A few summers ago we flew to Detroit and rented a vehicle, and spent the next week all over Ontario. Great place. We spent the most time at Parry Sound, on the Georgian Bay. I could really live there!!!
