The only regret is Les Paul isn’t around to enjoy it.

Wednesday – Savages – Mercury Lounge – I was a nonbeliever in this feral rock band till “Words To The Blind” knocked my block off.
Saturday – Marky Ramone – Gramercy Theatre – Last Ramone standing with Andrew WK for company on this birthday bash
Saturday – Wussy – The Studio Webster Hall – Robert Christgau’s album of the year makers… good enough reason to check them out.
