Short review of 8-26 (SMMD the Bell House)

Well, I sure hope someone was taping last night because I was truly blown away by SMMD in a way that few if any shows have ever blown me away. I actually think this show was live-album worthy, personally. It was that good. The place was an old barn-like building with two golden chandeliers above the...

Well said. And no, they didn't play Yellow Medicine. Maybe they were thinking of Wolof.

I have to echo Bear's sentiments about the nostalgia act. Seems like five years or so now that I've been going to every show possible, or most of the few available to choose from, let's put it that way. In that five years, I haven't heard the real slip. They're more like a glimmer of their past comp...

He's good, kind of a James Brown vibe to my ears. This plan has me on the edge of my seat. More power to you, and count me in of course.

that's what it's there for

I wasn't sure why I posted this, but that's actually exactly what I'd been waiting to hear. It was sort of bothering me somehow, I think, and you hit the nail on the head. William Carlos Williams... "no ideas but in things!" My professor says that. He's probably hating my latest effort, bu...

We're all still here (except for those of us who aren't)

Hello, Slip friends, I've missed all of you tremendously. I assume that like me, many of you have been too busy with the demands of life to check in here frequently. I wanted to let everyone, including BAM, know that I haven't forgotten them despite my apparent absence. In fact, I wrote a final retr...

Eric Strom

This is kind of cool: my friend Eric quit his job as a scientist in order to be a musician, and, as a way of pushing the envelope and gaining a following, he made a website for his music. It's called "Eric Strom presents a daily song", and it's pretty neat, actually. He is really writing a...

Re: the death squads... I bet there's some way they can hack that information but to me it's worth the risk. If we lose this election to the status quo, the status quo is currently alot worse (constitutionally unaligned) than it used to be and one day down the road we could start to see the kind of ...

I happened to catch Obama on meet the press with Tim Russert this summer, and I was truly impressed with his thoughtful, even minded approach to the questions. I was even more impressed with the platform that he was outlining in great detail, talking about real positions on everything from torture t...
