Artist Track Album Comments New Approx. start time
  So here's the thing with San Francisco, which is where I was last week. Beautiful place, great restaurants, impossible scenery, but sort of like what I imagine a 90s theme park would be like. Many of the random San Franciscans I observed still flexed a considerable arsenal of disposable income and walked the streets with the confidence of a wo/man who voted for an elected Democrat.
  I fear it may all be coming to a crashing halt for them soon. Conan the Republican is their new governor (although the people of SF apparently voted 85% against the recall), so they may well soon be getting the fear again, a la Tate/LaBianca so many years ago.
  No matter, I live in Jersey, but was visiting for the quasi-wedding of two old pals. The party was great, I got to see old friends I haven't been in the same hemisphere with in nearly 10 years, and I got to go biking, driving, and even accidentally light my trousers on fire, all while within city limits. Hard to ask for a better vacation than that. To wit, this jam -- which under normal circumstances would go out to Trenton -- is dedicated to Hugh and Rachel. I'm proud to count you among my pals and I wish you all the best for the future. Apologies for making you dance to the Jimmy Scott song, but if there's any lesson to be learned here it's never to let a mildly sauced guy behind the turntables.

Rapeman  Trouser Minnow   Two Nuns and a Pack Mule  Warning: I am about to compare Rapeman to the Grateful Dead. Please leave now if this is going to irritate you.<--> One of the more interesting case studies in the "It's not them, it's their fans" paradigm is the Big Black/Rapeman/Shellac/Steve Albini school of guitar hero-worship. I like all those bands to some extent. Big Black was a serious deal when I was first getting into the psycho music, so they were a logical early touchstone in my path to musical delinquency... Rapeman was similar in many ways but perhaps more versatile and definitely better to dance to (I invite you to listen to their utterly brilliant cover of ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid" for all the examples you're ever gonna need)... Shellac released two startlingly wonderful singles and then completely lost my interest, but that's more my fault than their's because by the time the early 90s had rolled around, there were so many guitar dudes attempting to ape Albini's guitar style and sardonic wit populating the college rock ghetto (which I was a chronic dweller within for many years), that I became a naysayer first-class. Again, I don't hold any of this against the band or players themselves -- they are all clearly talented individuals -- but when so many of the people I found myself surrounded by adopted the same inroads to "dark" music and culture, I discovered that it had lost a lot of the mystique for me it had once held, and I thusly began looking elsewhere for such satisfactions. Wasn't I talking about the Grateful Dead? Yeah, well I always liked them too...    1:37:48 Pop-up)
