I never knew a dime could bring such sorrow.

Seeing the Pixies play Doolittle tonight at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

For the 20th anniversary of their album.
Never seen them live as I missed them back in the day.
Very excited for this.

Was also going through the album Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs Of Mark Mulcahy Vol. 2 and came across this track:

 

It was originally on their album "Me And Mr. Ray".
I was never a huge Miracle Legion fan, as they were somehow always on my periphery but never in the center.
If I would've heard this song back then, I'm sure that would've changed my mind immediately.
Even when I used to work at W+K, Jessica Vacek always talked about the band too and said I'd probably dig them.
I should've listened to her.
A.C. Newman's version on this compilation is quite amazing as well.

Here's to new nostalgia.

 

When upon their arrival they say, in a dispirited and comely way.

So much amazing live music going on lately that it's getting a little overwhelming.
Tonight I'll be heading to see Amanda Blank play a party in Brooklyn 
before heading over to try and catch Jarvis Cocker performing at Terminal 5, 
as well as Destroyer at the Bowery Ballroom, whose City Of Daughters and Thief 
just got reissued on limited-edition double-vinyl (!!!) on Nominal Records.
If none of those float your boat, I'm sure Grace Jones will be knocking 'em dead 
at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
Dude.
