The Falcon - Unicornography

 

Wow, I think between you and me we make up 20% of their fanbase. I actually liked their EP better, God Don't Make No Trash. I can listen to that a couple times in a row and not get sick of it.

Wow, you've heard of them? Yes, the EP is better

Are you a "Lawrence Arms" fan as well? One of the lead singers fronts "The Falcon," that's why I ask.

 

Also, I read punknews.org on a daily basis and "The Falcon" are huge on there.

They even made a few of the "Year End" top 20 lists

Lawrence Arms is great. Do you like The Broadways? Brendan Kelly's band before the Lawrence Arms.

I have been listening to Brendan Kelly's bands since high school when he was in Slapstick. He was a frequent visitor to my favorite dive bar in the city, the L&L Tavern. Chicago is where it's at if you like that type of music.

Awesome! I loved Slapstick too, it's a shame they weren't around a little longer...

And yes, Chicago is a sort of punk mecca... I'm very jealous

[plitch]

I love me some Slapstick. I have the first press of Lookit!, but sorry, NYC, DC or LA are punk meccas before Chi-town.

Yes to NYC, NO WAY to DC or LA....the Bay Area maybe.

Yep, I have to make the NYC trip quite often if I want to catch a great show on the east coast

Right now, on my laptop: Joe Satriani

 

Later to read while on my flight home from Tampa: finishing up Robert A. Heinlien's "The Puppet Masters" and starting a vintage, 1973 copy of ER Burroughs "The Land that Time Forgot"

 

** Ah, gotta love those 1st Class upgrades... "Why yes, I will have another Scotch. Thank you."

When not reading comic related material I mostly read sports books (bios) and magazines. I also enjoy local books (newfoundland written).

 

I usually listen to the radio (classic rock Q107) or music I have downloaded on my computer. I don't remember the last time I paid for a CD.

the rest of the bookshelf is full of the wifes cookbooks and some baby name books.

Stereo:

 

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Live at the Fillmore 1970

 

Was about to order that. Is it great? (It has to be good, I mean, it's Neil.....)

 

 

Its 100% solid. I'd order it without hesitation. Its great to hear the original lineup and especially in that time-frame. Track for track, its probably as impressive as any of his other classic records although it has a strange "document" feel to me, which I think comes from being very familiar with the rest of his ouvre.

 

I'd also recommend "Shakey," if you haven't read it. Its fat though, and might take you a while to get through it you're having trouble finding time for a comic.
