Just another Saturday night (0)

The night was young and I was sick, so I found myself at the Colony Cafe in Woodstock, Ny doing a little bit of dancing to The Paper Planets(http://www.myspace.com/thepaperplanets , http://thepaperplanets.com/)
Another band played called Cassetuptake, they kind of sounded like indie rock/ pineapple jams.

So thanks for both bands that were there and all the fans that came to show their support!

Here's The Paper Planets closer of the night "Midnight"

So last night there was a show at the Bowman's Structure(http://www.myspace.com/bowmanstructure) and sad to say it was the saddest looking crowd yet. With a line up of The Paper Planets, Battle ave tea club and By Land OR Sea Playing it was sure to be a night full of dancing and good music but unfortunately over 25% of the crowd left around 10 o clock. But thanks for everyone that showed up and for the bands that played... 
Now that Ask For Lisa is no longer a band will the crowds never show up for the Bowman's structure shows again? i guess we will have to wait until July 4th to find out!

Lester Bangs ((December 13, 1948 – April 30, 1982) (0)

 today is the anniversary of Lester Bangs death , he's the most celebrated of rock writer in my opinion of all time. With his excellent knowledge of the 70's rock rebels and poppy princesses it put him on top through out the 1970's; in the eyes of journalists and readers all over the country.  However when  he overdosed in March of 82 and his life was ended to a batch of Darvon, Valium and NyQuil, it was as if the music had died a few years previously and he was just making his last "ha raw". I'm 100% sure if Bangs was still alive to this day he would be truly disappointed in the way the music has dived into a pit of whinny adolescents and immature personality'
s. But on the other hand he never really felt that "rock stars" were more then just mere people with above average day jobs.  

"Well basically I just started out to lead [an interview] with the most insulting question I could think of. Because it seemed to me that the whole thing of interviewing as far as rock stars and that was just such a suck-up. It was groveling obeisance to people who weren't that special, really. It's just a guy, just another person, so what?" -Lester Bangs quoted in a interview







Here's a clip from the movie Almost Famous that came out in 2000 portraying Lester.




And here's his voice in  a snip-it from a interview he did in the late 70's about technology.

RIP.
