I'm starting to get frustrated when it comes to concerts. Looking back over the last year and at the near future, there's ALWAYS something that gets in the way whenever any bands I'm interested in happen to come to Portland (which is rare enough as it is).

Last summer I missed Sleepytime Gorilla Museum because it was a 21+ show and Secret Chiefs 3 a month later because I had mandatory college stuff to do 200 miles away from where they were playing.

This summer has been worse. I was hoping to go see Heaven & Hell in Seattle (a bit of a trip, but worth it I figured) until I broke my collarbone while in Arizona visiting family. So I missed going to that (after already buying tickets, too).

Now that I'm back home and my collarbone is healed I've been checking out the events here lately and getting really excited about a lot of shows, but with almost every one I'm running into issues. Wanted to go see Dr. John next week, another 21+ show. Want to see The Butthole Surfers when they come here, but since it's the middle of the week in October I'll be, again, 200 miles away doing college stuff.

And then tonight I found out OM was coming on the 19th of this month, as part of Musicfest NW. I was stoked. I figured I wouldn't be off at college by then, so there shouldn't have been too many difficulties. Until I noticed that the show STARTS at midnight (cool, but impractical). The max line stops running then, so I'd be stuck downtown without any way to get back home. Of course, I would have a way to get there and back if I knew how to drive...which I would, if I hadn't broken my collarbone and had to go through 2 months of doing nothing. argshlhsfg

There's still a few shows I might be able to make it to, so I guess that's good, and there was the awesome Wolves in the Throne Room gig in July, but I'm really dying to make it to some more shows and my luck just doesn't seem to be accommodating that. Plus after taking some friends who don't listen to much metal to the aforementioned Wolves in the Throne Room show, I have a feeling it'll be next to impossible to convince anyone I know to give me a ride there and hang out. Haha, oh well. /endrant

I can't think how many times I've been talking to a baby boomer and mentioned a musician almost their same age whom they're completely unfamiliar with. No insult intended to baby boomers who are actually musically literate.

1. Big Star -- You have to tell them they were the band of the guy who sang The letter before Joe Cocker did. And then you have to sing the song. If that doesn't work, try talking about "That 70s Show" and the Cheap Trick cover of In the Street. Alex Chilton is hard enough to explain, let alone Chris Bell. Their loss.

2. James Booker -- The typical baby boomer may have a vague memory of Dr. John, but has never heard Booker except on that Ringo Starr album Ringo that they haven't listened to since 1975. You might try telling them he gave lessons to Harry Connick Jr. If you were District Attorney of New Orleans, would you get a homosexual junkie convict to give piano lessons to your son? Only if he were a piano genius too.

3. Syd Barret -- Sure, boomers love post-Syd Pink Floyd, and they know he's the "Crazy Diamond" guy in that movie, but they've never heard his solo albums.

4. Betty Davis -- Yes, the whole world has missed out on Betty Davis, but it's time to wake up. She's the queen of funk.

5. Van Dyke Parks -- The only way to go is to mention The Beach Boys. Their eyes will probably glaze over while you're rhapsodizing about Brian Wilson's Smile

6. Patty Waters -- I don't think there's any way to explain Patty Waters to mainstream baby boomers. Even though Diamanda Galas is technically a baby boomer, saying that Patty Waters is her biggest influence isn't going to help much.

7. Skip Spence -- If the don't know Syd, how are they going to have heard Oar by the cracked ex-Moby Grape? About as likely as them knowing who Roy Harper is. [bonus Gen-X-er question: What Minneapolis record store which used to employ Hole/Janitor Joe bassist Kristen Pfaff was named after Spence and Harper's albums?]

8. Townes Van Zandt -- Come on, boomers can barely remember Gram Parsons, can you expect them to know Townes?

9. Nick Drake -- Thanks to the Volkswagen commercial, they are at least that familiar. They still haven't bought the box. Will they ever hear Vashti Bunyan? Or realize that they should own all John Martyn's albums too?

10. Tim Buckley -- Do baby boomers even know who Jeff Buckley is? I guess they slept through the episode of The Monkees TV show where he sang Song to the Siren.

(written June 2007, revised July 2009)

So over the years i've tried to make a perfect morning playlist and one which comes very close to perfect is this one here and I figure it should be committed to memory here.

It starts off with my favorite thing to wake up to ever which is the wonderful harp notes of Joe Hisaishi's 'Will To Live'....from there I allow a couple of more beautiful pieces to be played before anything too upbeat takes over and starts to really rev up my inner motor.

Morning #1:

1. 久石譲 - Will to Live
2. Li Fan - Morning Song
3. Li Fan - Puzzle Tune
4. Yoko Kanno - Good Morning Yamanashi
5. Shang Shang Typhoon - Mein Taitoru
6. 久石譲 - Stroll
7. 久石譲 - Catbus
8. Shang Shang Typhoon - maneki neko no sanba
9. 佐橋俊彦 - Dream Car Factory
10. Tak Shindo - Mganga
11. Susumu Hirasawa - Lounge
12. Yoko Kanno - Ants
13. Dr. Octagon - Ants (feat. DJ Dexter)
14. Dr. John - I Walk On Guilded Splinters
15. Motörhead - Emergency
16. Luca Turilli - Princess Aurora

& then from 17 & on 佐橋俊彦's album 激走戦隊カーレンジャー・ミュージックコレクション I plays.
