The long piece that was broken down into four sections with Bowne using mallets put the crowd to sleep and would have better suited for a more focused audience. Maggot Brain was killer and should have pleased everyone. Tried to keep an open mind for M. Ward but was quickly bored. His stuff is ok for my living room but not for standing in Central Park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568665870525072881.post-92128745812101055232009-08-05T07:56:11.029-07:002009-08-05T07:56:11.029-07:00"Some guy named Mike Watt."
Probably wou..."Some guy named Mike Watt."<br />Probably would have helped if the emcee (Corny O'Connell of WFUV) had had the sense or the courtesy to mention that Watt was a founding member of the Minutemen in his introducing the band. <br />Also noticed that he had to read their names off of a cue card at the end of the set.<br />Doesn't surprise me.<br />As much as I like WFUV, they seem to have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to the true avant-garde and punk ... that is stuff that is not "safe."<br />Nice to see someone appreciated Floored by Four. I heard a lot of comments from people who thought it was boring.<br />I thought it was great.<br />And I agree about M. Ward seeming a little staid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568665870525072881.post-47465657020343790452009-08-04T11:17:33.979-07:002009-08-04T11:17:33.979-07:00Great shots.Great shots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568665870525072881.post-33522104009057478862009-08-03T15:59:53.740-07:002009-08-03T15:59:53.740-07:00"Rave on" is a Sonny West cover, althoug..."Rave on" is a Sonny West cover, although it might be most typically recognized from the Buddy Holly (hit) versionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668183903681856821noreply@blogger.com
