I been listening fto REMs Murmur album for pretty much the last 2 weeks none stop, and its pumpin me up with each listen. Who knew?! I assumed it couldn't be as good as Adj, or even Pollard have said it to be, and it would seem it is. Fuckin rockin!! BUY IT.
Quick spec work for what might be the direction of this rock doc. More of a "get you pumpt" teaser than anything else.
DAYTON COMMITTEE from JOHNY BEKAVAC on Vimeo.
This was taken that amazing night in Dayton Ohio, where we saw the GBV cover band play. Pollard came up for some songs. Jables sighting at 6:20. I am pretty sure Pollard and I clinked Buds, but its just out of frame. Since the entire night was a blur, I cannot be sure....but it looks like it happened. God bless that man.
P.S. I am sorry for the insane amount of GBV posts as of late.
P.P.S. I am not really that sorry.
Thanks to GBVH for the link
I been rockin The Cribs all day both at home, car, and work. Ned just got me the vinyl for Mans Needs Womans Needs.... (as well as the last Malkmus album...THANKS!)
Anyway, I think we should all crank some Cribs on this here a Monday, instant smiles.

Paddy Constantine....who you may remember from HOT FUZZ, seems to be a massive GBV fan. Here is proof.
This is a video of GBV during sound check, playing the same club we were just at this past Saturday. Jackt.
The inspiration for Nate Corner. The one. The only. Nate Farley.
Things are turning up in the world of rock shows. We hit a slight scare when we found out Thrush Hermit was sold out for the Saturday Lees Palace show, but thankfully Tony B came to the rescue and scored us some tickets (THANKS!!!!!). Friday night it is, and its going to be a fucking gong show. We will be rocking out all day and night and singing every word to every thrush song. There are rumours floating around of possible Underground or Teds post Thrush parties. So far its going to be Orsos, Bekavacs, Kurt and Trish's, Sarah and Karls, etc etc etc. Going to be an incredible party.
Pavement tickets go on sale this friday for the Toronto Island show. Gonna score some tickets (fingers crossed) this Friday for Ned and Michelle. I just drunkingly promised Kurt I would get him and Trish tickets as well. This here is more of a note to myself as a reminder than anything else. JOHNY! BUY KURT TICKETS FRIDAY!!!!!! FOR PAVEMENT!!! THE BEST BAND EVER!! YOU NEED TO KNOW!!! WHERE DOES IT GROW!! HOW DO
YOU GET THERE!!! AND WHERE YOU ARE FROM!!!! It doesnt hurt that the Pittshurgh crew are coming up this weekend. Tears of pure joy. How I will fit in drinking between hugs and fuckyas, ill never know.
All in all, I am pretty god damn jackt for this winter to finish, and the parties to continue. Some of my ALL TIME FAVE bands are reuniting this year, and its somewhat surreal......but I am jackt. I mean, I never thought I would be seeing Thrush Hermit, Pavement, and Faith No More all in the same year. Life is good.
So funny it hurts.
Highlights from the Dayton Ohio trip this past Saturday.
-Hangin out in a hotel with the Pittsburgh crew.
