Siouxsie & Iggy

In case anyone reposts, there are likely multiple versions and I used internals. I just couldn't handle that with no windscreens 


--------------------------



Day 2 Pasadena Flea Market Live Music Edition

Again internals. I don't have windscreens and the air must be completely still. Also I just wanted to have a good time and not suffer so much to get a recording I will never listen to, especially not with so many tapers already rolling.

Much looser atmosphere than Saturday. Free parking. Everyone in line with extra tickets to give away. Got a few people on board telling them a payday loan wasn't going to be necessary to experience the magic. Brought the El Yucateco again but never had a chance to break it out.

Iggy's arms are bony and he seems to have recently traded that six pack for a wrinkled gunt but he still shamelessly rips his shirt off to show his battle scars of decades of hard living. He isn't quite at the level of 60 year old Iggy but he is working hard to be as much Iggy as he can possibly be. And it just seems so natural seeing him rock out to a crowded field instead of the larger clubs.

I guess he fired the second rate hacks he had last month and hired some new kids and I must say it's for the better. Shook up the set a bit too.

But where did that guitar player get that T-shirt? I came to the Pasadena flea market and that was the only one I saw I wanted. Now I did see a dude with a Fang T shirt. I yelled is that a Fang T shirt? Dude turned around and almost ran. I even yelled YOU WIN! Yeah everybody thinks they got the best shirt until someone actually recognizes the band.

I did see an ALLSAINTS shirt and just had to chat them up. They had a stroller. In case you want to know what kind of people bring toddlers to a festival. ALLSAINTS fans. I found an ALLSAINTS shirt but I didn't find a booty call.

I went in with my companions, who love going to concerts but only make a few a year and still total rookies. The lines were a bit longer and after I got out of the restroom with the classic 1970's drive-in movie urinal I found them dutifully standing at the back. I said that's not how to do it, you find the person with the coolest shirt and chat them up and go in. Then looking at my vintage Spice Girls 1998 "Too Much" single cover and said "and that person is me." Then someone got in line behind me with a Urinals shirt and realized this was the right spot in line. I actually got to say Urinal twice in different contexts in the space of 2 minutes. But lines are usually voluntary based on the honor system. If you really gotta get in now, you can go right to the front if you are nice about it.

I took the time to track this one out mainly to see if there is anything I am better off cutting out but I am going to put it up as is.

What can I say about Siouxsie. The bulk of my experience was transferring my friend's tapes. And a lot of this scene in the 1980's everybody seemed to be trying too hard. Trade 2 layers of pancake batter, a layer of black and add a double dose of elegance and grace and you have Siouxsie 2023. I was able to absorb the longing and desire of the people around me to fully enjoy the experience. Unfortunately I was also absorbing the bad convo and had to find a different spot.

Can't wait to see how I pull this off next year! Who's playing? Who cares.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
