I've been going to a fair number of house concerts the last few years, which I have really enjoyed. Small crowd- less than 50 people. And $20 at the door. That's a good deal for a night out.

Cincinnati folks: Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and Rob Roth are on a book tour promoting the new memoir "Face It." Jo-Beth is bringing them to town on Monday, Oct. 7. Debbie will be discussing the book at Walnut Hills HS at 7 p.m.

She will not be doing a book signing, but you can preorder a signed copy via Jo-Beth, which also guarantees you a seat at the lecture. $32.50+tax. https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4315346

and i quote, "my pussy tastes like pepsi cola."  i hate product placement in songs.  i love lana del ray and she almost nailed the lustiest lyric of all time.  but i sorta feel that i'm comfortable with the allusion.  principles be damned i guess.  that just occurred to me

If I was a Pepsi ad guy I’m not convinced I’d want my product’s taste compared to that of Lana Del Ray’s minge.

However, if I ran the BigK Cola account I’d consider that a leg up the consumer ladder.

If Trump, and you're going to jack a Prince song without permission, why would you not use Donald Trump (Black version)?  Shit, I would have had to grudgingly give him some props for that.

the new M83 is very atomspheric. nice, but not as cohesive as previous work.

Battles had a new release drop friday. what i've heard sounds pretty good.

Foals, part 2 of everything not saved will be lost does sound really good.

I randomly saw on the internet today that Clan of Xymox is coming to Richmond.

I had forgotten all about them and was surprised to find out they were still around.  I would have said the same thing if they'd come to Richmond in 2005, which for all I know maybe they did.

It's an all-ages show, which makes me laugh because I cannot imagine there are too many 18 year olds stoked about seeing Clan of Xymox.  That should not just be a 21+ show, it should be a 45+ show so all the old people can try and goth out without being laughed at, and they don't play the music too loud and they make sure the whole thing ends before 11.

PS. 4AD was roster of horrifically boring and relentlessly dreary acts, and of all those acts Xymox was the most boring and dreary.  Shout out to Throwing Muses who didn't suck, and Cocteau Twins who only sucked sporadically.  M/A/R/R/S does not count.

As someone who has never, admittedly, been overly fond of Nick Cave or his recorded ouvre, I would just like to say that "Ghosteen" 100% blows me the fuck away. All the feels, all the feels.

Also neither a fan nor a detractor, so that endorsement's enough to convince me to give it a try.

Cincinnati coldwavers Skeleton Hands has been opening for Clan of Xymox on some of their dates. If they are on the bill in Richmond, I'd go just to see them.

40 years ago to this very day, 11 people were trampled to death at the Riverfront Coliseum entry. The Who were soundchecking, and people thought the actual show was beginning, and started pushing and shoving to get in. It just blows the mind.

This was 8 years before I moved to Cincinnati.

Anyone here who was around at that time and have any particular remembrances?

11 dead. RIP

RIP Marie Fredriksson (lead singer of Roxette), following another battle with brain tumor.

Roxette was a guilty pleasure of mine for many years and I have many of their CDs. You will recall that in the late 80s/early 90s Roxette were huge in the US, but then for whatever reason they seemingly disappeared from the US scene. Certainly they lost any and all airplay they once enjoyed. Nevertheless they continues to put out some great albums over the years.

Marie Fredriksson was just 61. Sad, very sad.
