NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers

Ramon Medina - LP4 10:36 PM

Ramon, I want to give you and Rosa an oceanfull of kudos, for continuing to gig, record, promote, photograph, and especially attend shows. It seems from your posts that you two are very active in your music community and I think that is just awesome. Keep on rockin'. I can only hope to be able to do some of that in the new expanded family context. The fact that you two are doing it, is very inspiring. thank you.

The best band in Houston getting no props is nothing new, it's part of our illustrious history. And God knows where I sit on the coming to shows ladder.

I wish I could've been in town one week sooner. Sounds like a good one, although I'm not terribly keen on getting in the way of the under 21 set.

Putting your band in the slot you did was a selfless act. That is rare in this kind of business so kudos for that.

I dream of the day that all live music can be found on the internet with live web streaming ability for those who live too far from the show... And also, if the powers that be could go ahead and make all the cables needed to have even the most basic set up... a totally wireless ordeal. That would be great. Hope all of you texans enjoy rosy cheeks and each others long lost company this week! Have a great whatever you are having!

roberto i didn't get back out and about until orion was three and of course even now i rarely rarely get to go to shows with ramon. i had comments from two different people that night who said they didn't REALLY believe i was married. they thought ramon was a myth. ha! kiss the baby for me!

Oh and John just to tell you where you sit on the "coming to shows ladder" ...let's just say that I've seen Jandek attend more live shows in 2006 than I've seen you attend. FACT!

Jandek was in the store the other day, confused and creepy as always. And hell, he's played multiple times more shows than I have in the last couple of years too. In the world of hermits he has been relegated to the role of pussy.

Jandek was hanging out at Rudz saturday night told Will (K-nives) that it was his favorite bar. He's a regular scene hopper now.

Yeah, I heard that Jandek sat at a table while a bunch of Jandek fans sat with big giggly smiles on their faces and bought him drinks from the bar. Will should have stayed at the table with Jandek as some other less star-struck people I know did. He could have scored free beer and drinks from the fan boys who kept sending over drinks to the table non-stop.

Hopefully, you folks that have young kids will be able to re-integrate into the live music scene when your kids are older. That's what I did. (I mised the late 80's and early 90's- how were they?) Dimes ROCKED it as per usual! Props to Lori Surfer too! Ramon, I thought the LP4 set was possibly the best I have ever seen. Best wishes for '07!

I don't much care for his new image. What's next? Is he gonna bang Lindsay Lohan and party with Paris?

Easily, and without question, the greatest picture of Naked EVAR. -jmiller

I can't believe that I was in town and made it to this show. How random. The last few times I visited, Linus either played the week before or the week after or something like that. Finally got it right for once, dammit. I drank several, albeit cheap, lone stars that night to enhance the musical and visual effects (which were both amazing). Haven't seen a show quite like that in LA since, uh... ever. (Not that I'm complaining.)
