Jicks At Sirens, Don Draper Advice Column
August 1st, 2008
Two links for today.
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks set at Sirens here. I was lucky enough to be up close and personal, and maybe I was too close- the sound wasn’t all that; very bassy mix, and it was hard to hear ol’ Malky. Maybe this’ll be a better representation.

We’re off to the Savannah region in a few weeks and I hope I don’t run into this I Didn’t Do It Woman. Wait, scratch that. I hope i DO run into her. Then I can delightfully proclaim, I Didn’t Do It.

Lyle Lovett: “I’m A Soldier”
June 30th, 2008
Last night, I went to the Beacon to see Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, who are just getting around to touring for last years’ “It’s Not Big, It’s Large.” As suspected, the set weighed heavily from this record- which I’m afraid is being overlooked- stand outs are “South Texas Girl,” “Up In Indiana,” and “Don’t Cry A Tear.” Lovett and co. had a gospel choir with him, and they closed with the traditional “I’m A Soldier in the Army of the Lord.” I found two pretty sweet versions this morning.
First up is from a tv show appearance by the Soul Stirrers, in the early 60’s.
Next, is Ezra Fufford’s take with a hammond B3. This pretty much rules.
