Do not decode these cries of mine, they are the road and not the sign

Magnolia Electric Co.


It's been way too long since I've seen Jason Molina play music, so last night's music was well needed and appreciated. To make it even better, it was a free show, and they had copies of the new album "Josephine" for sale. Jason, ill advised mustache aside, was excellent as always. Much more playful with the audience than I've ever seen. The band was in top form. Even the opening band told us this was their best performance so far of the dates they have played together.

I'm listening to Josephine right now. It's classic Molina, especially lyrically, but the album seems for focused. I'm really enjoying it.


I made a new friend at the show last night which was fun. Always good to know more local people that enjoy quality music. Now i have someone to see Wilco with on Sunday too! Bonus! =)

Aside from that, I slept well once i got home and am trying to look forward to another day of work. After all these holiday shortened weeks at the beginning of the month, working a regular week seems extra long.

want to trade lives? I haven't seen a show since Okkervil River in October, and I haven't seen MeCo since they played Fargo in fall 2006.

Hey man! You are welcome to come visit whenever. Sadly though, aside from Depeche Mode and Wilco this week, i don't have any shows coming up until September U2 shows.
