last night i went up to cincy with some friends to catch hey mercedes on their closest stop to louisville on their current tour across the usofa. sadly, we arrived too late to catch koufax, which was a big downer. i did see rob-dog and we hung out and shot the shit for a little while. he's really excited about their new record that they just recorded. the record, by all accounts, is fucking great, so i'm looking forward to hearing it.

piebald played a great set, which made me wonder why i've avoided buying their records for so long. a friend from boston sent me one of their early records a few years ago, and i was thoroughly unimpressed. then again…he sent it when i was in a phase of listening to nothing but pink floyd and neurosis…maybe i didn't give them a fair shake. regardless, they played a great set and i'm sure i'll end up picking up a record of their's in the near future.

hey mercedes rocked the house, as usual. they played all the hits and pulled out some stuff from the new ep, as well as a song i had never heard before. classy. after the show we hung out for a while on the bus, just shooting the shit and drinking whatever was within arm's reach. dan made me feel guilty because i never update this crazy little site, mostly due to my own laziness. so as i told him last night over "cold ones"…this post is for my man kan deehn. hopefully i'll catch up with them tuesday in chicago…

much ac/dc and jawbox was listened to, mike tried to get bob to be a hey mercedes underwear model, etc…the usual shenanigans. now i'm home, waiting for 6:30 to roll around so i can go to the park for the weekly cookout/kickball festivities. you have to love the weekends…
