Terrastock

I had just purchased the Galaxy 500 Peel Sessions and for some reason I decided to go check out the web page of their new label 20-20-20. To my surprise Damon and Naomi had started their own label and then when I checked their upcoming shows I saw Terrastock listed. In my head I was thinking, OK this must be a really old page?!? Low and behold Terrastock 6 in Providence, RI on April 21-23, 2006. How cool is that? I was at Terrastock 2 in San Francisco in 1998. It was quite a weekend of music and very mellow. Luckily, I lived so close to the venue I could go home and come back as I wished. Anyways, got a hotel booked and it should be just a short (5 hour) drive from Brooklyn. Can’t wait!

“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

- Benjamin Franklin

It seems like every time I’m reminded of this quote I start to believe it more and more.

Made Platinum Executive again for 2005. 100,000 EQP is a lot of time on the airplane! Luckily, I had a bunch of international trips this year and only flew AA. I’ll need to take advantage of this status with some crazy personal trips before my status expires in March 2007. werd!

Happy Birthday to me.

I’m officially old on the inside, although I refuse to be old on the outside..werd to that. Today I move into a whole new marketing demographic. I’m no longer the most sought after target market for advertisers. Seems kinda strange. I have more disposable income at my current age than when I was 18. I suspect corporations try to build a lifetime of brand commitment at an early age and they don’t have to worry about you so much later.

Jucifer finally came on at 1 a.m. at Sin-e in NYC. Three words. OMG! Fantastic sounds from the bottom of the frequency spectrum. If you don’t know anything about this band, its a two piece and the guitarist has a wall of amp cabinets about ten feet high and the entire stage wide. The club was tiny, so the sound was incredibly loud. Putting in ear plugs only made the sound seem to rumble at ever lower frequencies. Think the show ended around 2am on a Wednesday night. Luckily I’m on vacation. wooho! I can’t imagine how long it takes to setup and break-down the stage. If they’re coming to your town and you love heavy music, don’t miss it.
The photo below isn’t mine and wasn’t from the same show, but it is a really good image from someone on flickr.
