Feb 2 11 6:18 AM 5th St. Pigfucker Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None New album coming April 19th! Over the last year he's fast becoming one of my favorite musicians. Sort of like Ween, I had one of his albums for years before the awesomeness revealed itself. Never seen him in concert, hope he tours for the new one. His recent live album Rough Travel For A Rare Thing is a great place to start if you're curious. After I got it I went nuts and started getting as much of his stuff as I could...

Feb 2 11 6:32 AM fecal in origin Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Smog went on just after the flips at Reading 98, on the other side of the field, and running between the stages, I was amused to see Wayne Coyne running behind me, still dressed as a pirate. He spent the gig standing next to me in the nodandlookbaked pit.

Feb 2 11 6:37 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've said it before and I'll say it again: Smog makes me ashamed to be human. "Be Hit" is an all-time favorite and I could kill him for writing it. We've always been close, haven't we? Well, until this all blows over, just stay away from me.

Feb 2 11 7:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	what about Smog moves you that much? I think you said it best: He's a real scab picker. I haven't even listened to that much stuff, but everything that I have heard to is so intensely personal. The songs that aren't so personal and don't sound like picking scabs, pouring lye in the wounds, and forcing oneself to stare at the chemical reaction tend to deal with emotions that I don't want to be able to relate to, even though I do. It's like I'm going through psychoanalysis when I try to interpret his lyrics. I don't think I could watch a whole concert. I'd probably have a psychotic break. We've always been close, haven't we? Well, until this all blows over, just stay away from me.

Feb 3 11 2:12 AM fecal matter Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I went to see him once at the Cactus Cafe. The show was totally sold out, and we couldn't get in. On our way back to the car we ran into Bill Callahan, who was walking to the show. I probably enjoyed that more than I would have enjoyed the show. Julius Caesar remains one of my all time favorite records, but I have to admit, its been years since I've listened to any of his other records. Did anyone read the book he wrote? Came out some time in the past year. The hammer as well as the anvil.

Feb 3 11 3:34 AM 5th St. Pigfucker Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The stuff he's been putting out has mellowed a LOT since Julius Caesar and the songs that scarred Jacklint. Less dramatic lyrics, more literate. At this point he's more of a singer-songwriter than a "lo-fi pioneer" or whatever.
