back to our regular programming

so i got a second call from the con, he giggled a lot talking about how we used to get $1200 phone bills, and when he got his $1.2 million life insurance settlement, his mom chased him down with the old phone bills, and then i read some more about izzy zimmerman and drummer john was playing folsom prison blues by johnny cash on my computer over and over, so he could learn it and play it with his band and jimmy wrote me about his katrina mess in miami and i slept as burns bog burning left ash dust on my house and my purple car and i dreamed that i was charged with theft and hadda go to jail. gee, i wonder where the frick that came from?

so anyway, drummer john is in edmonton and i have his mazda protege and i'm gonna go lay some rubber with his new tires. hhhhhhha, just kidding.

uhh, last week drummer john took me to go see son volt and we walked in as this amazing band was playing, a slow sufjan-y type folk that makes your tear ducts contract a little, so i asked the merch guy who we were listening to and he said sean wesley wood and the vancouver vipers. i asked if they had any cds for sale and the guy said no, but he gave me the myspace addy and i came home and checked it out. i sent the addy to squish who loved them as well, and we went to go see them last thursday at the candy bar and they were just as awesome as the first time. i poked sean wesley wood after the show and asked if he had any cds and he did and i bought two, one for squish and one for me. i listened on the way home and was blown away even more. this guy can write songs, holy crap.

i urge all of you to check him out : Sean Wesley Wood

and thanks sean, for two great shows and lots more to come i hope.
