August 31st, 2007 · 2 Comments

North Hollywood - Little Toni’s

August 31st, 2007 · 2 Comments

OK, what you have to undestand is that I was brought up on pasta. If my husband wasn’t a cook, then I would happily boil pasta of all shapes and sizes and have an assortment of sauces (gravies for you purists) ready to go.

Wilco - Greek Theater (LA)

August 30th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Phe-Nom-Enal show by Wilco last night at the Greek Theater. Wilco pulled out a much more rocking set than I’ve seen them bring in previous tours. Also, going sober seems to have turned Jeff Tweedy into quite the sharp wit, man was more charismatic than I’ve ever seen before.

Wilco at the Greek Theater tomorrow night

August 28th, 2007 · No Comments

Can’t wait! I’ve been checking the recent setlists here and they look to be heavier on the rock and not as sleepy as the Ghost Is Born tour. I think we have Nels Cline to thank for that. We’ll have a full review of the show right here.

August 22nd, 2007 · No Comments
