Jul 16 : My Night Out July 7

Last week had a spur-of-the-moment onsite job on July 7, Thursday. I looked around for some possible music to catch on my way home and came across a listing that had potential, in Jersey City at Pet Shop JC. I was specially interested in one band, checked with them about the time of their show and found that, yes, it definitely would fit in with my train schedule returning home.

First band up before them was "Janitor". No idea who they were or are. I usually try to check out music from all the bands scheduled to play at a particular show, but found a dead end on this one. They turned out to be actually quite good. I would have recommended that you go see them.

At this point I normally would have listened to samples of their music and would be posting one of their most representative pieces right here. BUT this band doesn't seem to have Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or even Facebook we're-too-new-to-have-albums-but-here's-what-we're-all-about. Evidently new customers are not a priority for them.

After Janitor finished playing, I was hyped up to hear the band that I had mainly come to see. BUT I was told that they had been rescheduled to be last (((grrrrrrr. hate it when this happens))) ... They would now be on after the time of my train home, so seeing them would now be impossible. There was a third band in the lineup, the one listed as the headliner, but, after listening to samples of their music beforehand, I wasn't really into them, so I decided to just cut my losses, cut the evening short, and just go home.

Consolation prize for the evening was, on the way home, they didn't collect tickets on one of the trains.

Jul 06 : "maybe you don't want nobody else" - Sam Seeger (New York)


New Video / Freshly Released

This is Sam Seeger's newest video, released just this past Saturday. I like that it bears all his characteristic instrumental and vocal stylings. But I'm not sure what it all means. As in some of his other newer work, maybe he wants us to take him 100% literally, or maybe he's being slightly facetious. Hmmmm.




Here is the click to Sam Seeger's Facebook page, where you can see and hear a lot more of his work: Sam Seeger on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
