It's amazing to me how simply listen to a song can alter the human mood. Ahh, the science of musicology.
anyway. damn does J Masics know his way around a distortion pedal or two.
Nick and I went to see J. Mascis (lead singer of Dino Jr) at Dante's on the 30th. I only ever have the most glowing of things to say about the adventures of Nick and myself. So, I'll keep it to a simple "Nick found us a creative and amazing parking spot, and we were sad that we didn't run into the drunkard that offered to buy me a sandwich with his food-stamps while we were getting our tickets from the box office." pant, pant, now take a breath. Okay, as for the music...The Blackheart Procession opened. At first, I couldn't tell if I hated or loved their music. They started their set with a depressing love ballad- clad with simple piano and the musical saw (yes the music saw). but the by the third or fourth song I leaned over to Nick and said in his ear, "I'm pretty sure this is one of those bands that could start and end with the same song and no one would notice." and boy did they play a long set. But, alas! J Masics came on and he was ah-mazing. As always. This man is a legend in my eyes...awkward...but still a legend. After the show, Nick and I hung around and the roady gave us each a guitar pick. Mine's pictured below.
