Yep – hanging out at dive bars just on the off chance you’ll see somebody who takes it higher would be pretty ridiculous if you didn’t enjoy all that other dive bar stuff. No, this is a post I would like to have written, “I knew them when creds” aside.

The only thing is, saying you’re more of a Rush fan than an REM fan is like saying you like the taste of my beer soaked stumper in your boca mas que tu culo, you freeek.

Here there are several that at least during the week, have pass the hat shows. And even when they have covers its a small town and we know venue employees well enough that they'll let us in for a drink and to check out a couple of songs (of course if we decide to stay, we are always more than happy to pay the cover since its always for the band - this doesnt apply to packed shows, but I dont dig those all that much either). Maybe i've forgotten what big cities are like... <br/><br/>Wed, "i knew them when" creds are nice, but really I just dont like watching shows were I have to wait in line for anything (beer, bathroom, door) or where i can't sit down or walk about if i want to without saying excuse me a 100 times. I've developed an aversion to rooms packed with people and when thats the case it really makes it hard to enjoy the music. I will do it occasionally, but all other things being equal (meaning the quality of the music), i enjoy a nice small crowd much better.<br/><br/>And thanks for that link, very cool. Maybe I'll get on the NYT blog someday... ha. Wow rosa, that is weird. seems there would be some places that have music but dont charge a cover.

Catching bands at the local dive bar is the only way to build up your "I knew them when" creds.<br/><br/>Speaking of which, next time you see the Shack Shakers say hi to their Drummer Brett for me. He was THE LATEST's touring drummer. He can really bang 'em.<br/><br/>More New York Times links (that's three this week from my corner) - <a HREF="http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/natural-history/index.html?ref=opinion" REL="nofollow">This NYT blog</a> by Andrew Bird reminded me of your recent recording escapades.
