How does Cat Power get booked for important gigs?  She's overrated in general and erratic live.

Living Colour!! Right in front of the stage! I can't hear a damn thing now.

Amazing show! A great set, mixing the best songs from the three good albums. One original Wimbush song, two covers ("Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go"). I don't remember the last time I headbanged so hard. Or pogoed so high! Or moshed so...civilly.

I want to do it again tomorrow, but I'm afraid my legs, ears and neck won't allow it. They were really great, though. I don't know how anyone, not to mention four people can perform like that night after night...

Other songs:
Glamour Boys
Desperate People
Which Way is America?
Middle Man
Cult of Personality
Love Rears Its Ugly Head
Time's Up
History Lesson
Pride
Bi
Ignorance is Bliss

Yeah: Corey, Doug, Will and Vernon. They didn't look like they were feuding at all! Corey was upset for the first few songs because he couldn't hear himself in the monitors, but the techs eventually fixed that problem. The band was laughing a lot among themselves - they seemed to be having a good time.

Hey, that was me who won Bridge School tix on today's 9 O'Clock Pop Quiz! (had to answer 5 Norah Jones questions).  I would have preferred Sat, but I'll take the free Sunday tix!

funny, when I heard the prize was Tickets to Sunday, I told my GF, "Feh, Saturday is the day to go: that's when ZZ plays! and a guy who's also on that 10@10club forum agrees!"

I heard you win -- nice job.
