Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore. Baby got big but she's gonna get bigger..... Anyone going to see Patti Smith in the Rote Fabrik on Wednesday?
I really hope she only plays old songs, but it's not too far to walk home if she does.

here's an 'under-the-radar' festival...in grandson VD...

Oh man, missed that and probably can't go now.

Love this song:

It'll be outside, on the lakeside, so you could in theory, come watch the football, outside, and listen to her in the background. It's going to be quite a night! I'll be up on the roof!

I really should be but the devil on my left shoulder told me to go watch football instead.

anyone interested in Baroness at Bad Bonn (Düdingen), 13 July? I got some super dooper expensive earplugs to try out.

Patti was legendary. The lake was magnificent, and Germany lost. Was that the perfect night?

crap i just saw this! i love patti smith- seen her a ton of times and poetry stuff too... wish i knew i'd have definitely gone...

i've even got a gorgeous photo of her holding my then 6month old son at a poetry event in nyc... wah. a bit sad now i need to keep up on these things...

I want to be half that cool when I'm 62!

I would have loved to have gone , but I got the feeling that you would have got the weird Patti doing performance art versions of stuff, rather than the angry Horses version ...
If it was the later then I wish I had gone !

was incredible.

T'was the latter. I expected a post-menapausal, I know it all and I'm gonna pass on the word Patti, but she rocked! Right up til her final song, which was rock and roll nigga. Having said that, she didn't actually do horses.

Xiu Xiu in St Gallen in November..

ooh, i'd like to see those Drums in action. (is the day before my birthday too, sounds like a good excuse for a big friday night)

i'd be interested in seeing kate nash covered in whipped cream and lip-synching too, but only for laughs

A very good excuse indeed! It would be nice to see you there ... I've got my ticket ...

Yep, I agree, only for laughs, but as I do not like the location, I most probably skip that one.
