Here's an interesting pairing - Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger in Denmark.

 
I think I'm going to go see Richard Thompson in Boston in November. Dude's newest album is pretty tight and he can still shred. My man has been making great tunes for 50 years on his own, with Fairport Convention, and with Linda Thompson, and some of the recent live stuff with his trio on Youtube looks great. I'll find some shit and post it maybe. What a legend though. Should be fun.

Edit - Like this looks tight as shit. It is four years old, but my man sounds great and is shredding and the rhythm section is banging.



And they just announced he's playing at Haw River Ballroom a couple of weeks after the Boston show for which I already bought tix. Maybe I'll see him twice. I need to learn to be more patient. Reminds me of the time Dismemberment Plan announced only two reunion shows, one in Baltimore, one in Fredericksburg, VA, and I went up to this weird drum circle shop venue in Fredericksburg, where it was some All-Ages High School promoted program with D Plan headlining. Weird show and that was a weird day/night where I was visited by a memory of seeing a ghost. And they announced they were playing in Carrboro like a week later.
 
Geoff Emerick, engineer on some of the Beatles’ greatest and most ambitious works (beginning with “Tomorrow Never Knows”), and producer of the Zombies’ Odyssey and Oracle and Elvis Costello’s Imperial Bedroom, among others, died of a heart attack yesterday.
 
Allen Toussaint (who did the horn charts for Last Waltz) with Richard Thompson on guitar, Levon Helm on drums, Elvis Costello on rhythm, and Nick Lowe on bass (!) along with a few of Elvis's other friends.

How are the zombies not in?

What a joke
 
Never really listened to much Cat Power, but a friend said she had gone to see her and it was a good show, so I'm checking out her latest, and it's pretty solid. This might be the only time I ever listen to it, but that's fine.
 
Also revisited Cass McComb's Mangy Love which I was pretty into a couple of years ago, and that thing holds up. He also puts on a good show.
