#ive shared this on my main blog#but its still funny to me how my last two - uh - special interest musicians have been two guys that I feel like I#missed the boat for - in my 'going out to see music' life#like Phil Collins was sooooo uncool when I was a teenager#but i bet i would have been so stoked to see him play then if i let myself#and mike was really just outside of my radar and somehow when i probably would have seen him on the same ticket#with bands i was seeing at the time....i was traveling a lot and was never on the same continent for those shows!#what a fucking bummer - im sure i would have fell in love instantly#as it is - when i did start listening to him more in 2004-2005#i was totally in it with my bf and even then the internet wasn't what it is now#so i had no idea what he looked like!#i just thought - wow this guy really has some killer dynamic vocals and that was that#and i had never gotten into fnm at that point - so the reunion tour was not a big deal to me#but anyways what WAS i listening to back when? what do i listen to now?#i have probably seen waaaay more tmbg shows than is healthy - i was obsessed with john linnell as a teenager#and as mentioned i loved tod a and cop shoot cop and firewater#btw did you fucking know that Jennifer Charles of Lovage was ALSO on Firewaters first album??#and i loved stephin merritt and all his various projects#and skeleton key and funny little nyc bands that came and went#omg and fucking gogol bordello! so many good shows from those guys!!#and then there was belle and sebastian#and aimee mann and moldy peaches and y.a.c.h.t. and all that early-mid 2000s shit#and with that same bf we got more into like les claypool stuff#and dead kennedys and black flag and minutemen - but obvs never went to shows for those#and then by like 2007 i was too busy farming and then i settled down a whole lot when i met my spouse#and i kind of lost music for a while bc really i just love live music in small venues and that just didnt happen for me after 2010 or so#so im thinking maybe i should embrace my midlife crisis and start going to see small shows again?#but i dont even know who to see anymore and i AM feeling too old for this shit?!#lordy lord#anyways - time to write emails for work! /rant
