Friday, August 10, 2001 np: whiskeytown - stranger's almanac what an album. it's like..all that i thought was capable of alt-country and its fusion with every other palpable style of popular music from the last seventy years came together in one grandiose collection. i purchased it, along with the tragically hip's day for night, nanci griffith's flyer and the wallflowers' breach which has that marvelous replacements reference in "murder 101." ("..now my intuition failed, i can't graduate unskilled..") everything is drawing closer to an end. i realised that this monday is two weeks until i leave. and after that, nothing is certain ever again. i was always so anxious to leave. to light out for the territory all over again. but what happens when you found what you were looking for all that time, and it can't go with you? you manage. i suppose. that's such an ugly word. manage. a close relative of "mangle" and all sorts of other jarring, dis-membering words. they also cancelled the tibetan freedom concert. on the other hand, placebo is playing the brixton academy in october. maybe i can make up for them ignoring the carolinas on their american swing. i saw one of the best live performances ever last night. glen phillips played at amos' here in charlotte and totally blew me away again. he kind of let me down a bit on monday night in winston-salem. he was a bit lackluster, not as talkative and less energetic in his performance. but all that was replaced with the normal glen last night. he played "torn," one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite toad albums (pale), "windmills," (from the awe-inspiring dulcinea), had one encore of just sing-along songs ("fall down," "something's always wrong," and an incredibly loud and boisterous crowds' larger than life version of "walk on the ocean") and then a final encore of kool and the gang's "celebration," and the only toad song to potentially be considered better than "windmills," "i will not take these things for granted" as a closer. intensity. everyone find yourself this week. and if you can work it in, a killer pair of pants on a clearance rack somewhere. posted by J.
