FEMME FATALE

SCENES FROM ALLEN'S LAST THREE DAYS ON EARTH AS A SPIRIT


For the Allen Ginsberg fans out there, here is a link to Jonas Mekas' video diary of the "days immediately before and after his death".

As frail as he looks, he went out in style. When I'm about to bite the big one, you bastards better be there chanting for me, because you know I'd do it for you. And Greg needs to be there, because I'm damn sure going to want to hear some gonging on my way out.

Ok, that's the end of my morbidity for now.... :)

NEW SHOWS AT HIGHER GROUND



A couple of new shows of interest have been announced for May at Higher Ground--They Might Be Giants will be playing on May 4th, and Cursive will be performing on the 16th. See you there!

Also, a few additions have been made to the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival lineup (which I will be attending this year)--The New Pornographers (with an appearance by Neko Case rumoured), former Pavement member Steven Malkmus, hip-hop legends De La Soul and a band I'm unfamiliar with called Battles. Add to that the original lineup of Sonic Youth, Grizzly Bear, Of Montreal, Cat Power, etc. and I'd say I'm in for three days of great shows. I'll be posting nightly blogs after the shows along with pics. Let's just hope Of Montreal can keep their Underroos on...
