Damn, I love Robbie Fulks. Last night's show was great. It started off a little slow but about mid-way through his first set, he revved things up and from then on it was full speed ahead. Sorry for all the driving cliches, they really have nothing to do with Mr. Fulks, but anyway...it was a fun night, he played some of my favorite tunes ("Cocktails," "Mad at a Girl") as well as several new favorites ("It's Always Raining Somewhere," "Each Night I Try").
It was also a nice evening because it's always like a mini road trip when you make the trek out to Winter and because we got to chat with friends and drink really expensive beer. I love the Palms, but seriously - $3.75 for a tiny cup of Coors Light??? Next time I'm bringing my flask .
Saturday's Pernice Brothers/Jim White show was also really really good. It's been four years since the last time I saw Jim White and I'm always amazed at what an interesting, down-to-earth and extremely funny person he is - that and he always remembers me and is so gracious. Really this is probably because I used to practically stalk him and maybe he's afraid of me. But whatever, I take my gracious southern gentlemen where I can get them. Also, he's married to someone who seems to be even maybe more amazing than he is, so I'm very happy all around. Oh yeah, and he put on a good show too. Maybe the best one of his I've ever seen. The Pernice Brothers, as always, were great. Live, they sound almost exactly like they do on record but this is not necessarily a bad thing.
On a related note, I can't wait until the Aug. 28th Alejandro Escovedo show. It's been too long since I've had the chance to see him perform live. During that show he performed Mott the Hoople's "I Wish I Was Your Mother" while walking through the audience at the old Palms (I remember it as, quite possibly, the hottest night ever) and it remains one of my all-time favorite show moments.
On a not-related note - whoa, there was just a power surge. Two of them to be exact. I just had to re-start the computer and can I say, that as much as Blogger generally sucks, I do love this "recover post" feature...so yeah...I think that's a sign that I need to get off this damn computer and go read already.
