only the strong surive
saturday night C and I went to see James at the stone pony, I've been waiting many years to go to see a band at this very famous venue, and James didn't disappoint - i cant remember the last time i was this squashed at a show. They played a great 2 hour set spanning their back catalogue and the new album.


this is the best i can do in regards to a photo, i really need to start bringing a camera.



For those not familiar with the New Jersey landscape, the Stone Pony is on the Jersey Shore in Asbury Park made famous by many things including this iconic album cover art by bruce springsteen.


Here's an older version of the the greetings postcard - i wonder if the boss thought about using this one ? probably not, looks more like something credence would do.

jihaddyhaddy
on thursday C and i went to see babe the blue ox with our very good friends mike and anna. Id never heard of this band before, but they where excellent live. I dont really think of myself a political person, its all rather laughable in my opinion and is full of self interest and ego. That said I do consider myself politically aware, and on this day of all infamous days i couldn't help think that if more people listened to bands like babe we would live in a happier healthier world. I found myself thinking of the 70's band showaddywaddy
and how i miss listening to them - they to could save the world. I thought of creating a band called jihaddyhaddy - our mission... well i think you can figure the rest out for yourselves.

friends forever


more music to save the world. This is E=MC2 by giorgio
I picked this up at second hand rose - the best record store in the world, here in NY. How I got to thinking about the father of disco himself is lost to me at the moment.
The music, the cover art, everything, could save the world !
