Have fun in the sun, boys. So far, Stanley Clarke wins.

We saw Colin Meloy solo at the Fillmore last night. Alden's first Fillmore show, probably around the age I was for my first Fillmore show. We checked out the posters and Claire pointed out a bunch she attended, including the Stone Roses about 3 weeks before Sophie was born. I didn't recall her being so super pregnant at a show until she said it. That got some funny looks now that I remember it, especially when she started slamming tequila poppers. Anyway, the show was good and he played mostly old Decemberists stuff of course, although also a couple of new songs and a mix of covers. Someone called out Overkill and he laughed pretty hard and then did a short version that would have made Colin Hay proud. Meloy records a few songs from another songwriter whenever he does these solo tours -- the first was Morrissey and this one was Ray Davies and the Kinks. He only played one Kinks song, which left me wanting more. His final encore song was introduced as a sea shanty sung in old San Francisco while the fisherman brought in their daily catch: Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come armageddon! Come, armageddon! come! Everyday is like sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : "how I dearly wish I was not here" In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come - nuclear bomb Fun show and Alden loved it because he knows every Decemberist song ever and particularly liked guessing songs based on the first notes he played on the guitar.

And why would you want to kill it by listening to Paul Anka?

Nice going doctor Reks!

And don't forget something to wash it down with Have a bacon-soaked birthday Grahame! Cheers!

I'm quite sure that Jim knew what he meant and made a punny post in response.

Happy birthday Frank! I hope you had some time to enjoy some tunes and have a couple of beers on your big day. Or possibly design and build a world class amp. Cheers!

Weird color for a pimp daddy card, but it's the thought that counts! Have a great one tomorrow Dr. John. Cheers!

Saul Zaentz died Jan. 3 at age 92. Amazing list of movie credits, but also the former owner of Fantasy Records and originally signed Credence (and later had a series of lawsuits with Fogerty et al).
