Aug. 25th, 2003 08:44 pmA LONGER LIST OF BANDS I'VE SEEN LIVE
the Alarm, Albert Collins, Aztec Camera, B.B. King, Bob Dylan, the Brains, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Camper Van Beethoven, the Clash, the Damned, Dinosaur Jr., Elvis Costello, the English Beat, the Fall, the Feelies, the Go-Gos, the Happy Mondays, Hugo Largo, Man Or Astro-Man?, Mark Eitzel, the Mekons, Michelle Shocked, Mitch Ryder, Muddy Waters, My Bloody Valentine, the Nils, Pearl Harbor & The Explosions, Pet Shop Boys, the Pixies, Poi Dog Pondering, the Police, the Pretenders, R.E.M., the Ramones, Ray Charles, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, the Replacements, Richard Thompson, Screaming Trees, Soul Asylum, Squeeze, Talking Heads, Tanya Donelly, the Who . . . this list pretty much gives you an idea of my tastes in rock music from the early '80s to the mid '90s, when I was attending concerts more often than I do now. New Wave gives way to college rock gives way to indie rock gives way to alternative rock, plus a dollop of blues. Educated white-boy music . . . yuppieish tastes now, but not so much at the time.
Z IS FOR ZODIAC
Before our friend Paul Wiley moved back east, we were talking about tattoos and what kind of tattoo we might get (if we were planning to get one), that would have personal, symbolic meaning. My idea for a tattoo was to take my astrological symbols and combine them: a fish (for Pisces) and an ox (for my sign in Chinese astrology). What you wind up with is a sea-going minotaur -- a man with the head of a bull -- but the bull's head is a water buffalo's head, with the buffalo's curved horns. Below that is a heavily muscled man's body, tapering off to a fish tail, like a merman's. A little contrived, but unique as far as I know . . .
