I am on edge. So what else is new?
I had a ticket to see Greg Dulli tonight (right now) with Mark Lanegan, but I elected not to go.
Three reasons, in least to most importance:
1 - It's raining like hell, and I'd have to walk 7 blocks to the Q train, then on the other end 12 blocks from Bedford to The Warsaw. Then back. Which at 1pm takes four times as long. Of course, I could call a Car Service, but then we're talking $20.00 each way. Fuck...
2 - I'm very, very tired. And, I might mention, unmotivated due to the rain and the cost of a car.
3 - I just don't want to see Mark without my girl. He's her favorite. "Do him without retribution" favorite. Plain and simple. But tonight, he's a back-up singer, guest-star shill for Greg's The Twilight Singers.
NOT The Afghan Whigs. Not bad, mind you, just not memorable. But NOT The Afghan Whigs. Which were great, but NOT American Music Club great, but that complicates things.
So $21.00 goes to Greg and Mark tonight, courtesy of me. I hope they use it well and make more music. $9.00 goes to Ticketmaster and they can blow me. A lot. All the time. Forever.
And more disposable income out the door -
I stopped by Virgin @ 14th Street today after my ALLERGY SHOT (what am I allergic to, you ask? TICKETMASTER, for starts...) to pick up the Neil Young thang and, of course, slippery slope, gateway drug, ended up with the following:
- Neil Young, Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live at The Fillmore East, March 6 & 7, 1970, CD/DVD
- Frank Zappa, Thing-Fish, CD
- P J Harvey, The Peel Sessions, 191-2004, CD
Nuff said.
Been scanning negatives and working on digital shots all day long. Want to get the LA girls their shots as soon as possible and I have six rolls here from Sharmeen's wedding.
And a conference call with The Gap tomorrow at 1pm for a shitload of corporate work.
Photo is Ginger in Beverly Hills perching. Pretty.
Neil titled the blog entry. Godlike.
Anyone else reading "Shakey"? I got a copy in Woodstock and I'm 400 pages in...

My copy of "Shakey" is on The Pile by my bed--it's been there a LONG time. There's a Zappa/Mothers book there, too ("Necessity Is..."), a couple of advertising books, a cool book called "Populuxe" and all sorts of other junk.
Will I get to them? Or will my family use them as doorstops long after I'm dead and gone?
