pairs will await. I’ll be there.
Or. Axel Bower is NOT a Wo-
man? But my largest dilemma,
the most confounding for some
time now, because fidelity is
not only NOT a dilemma, but
she is bouncing, or she is Bou-
nce Electra on the verge of
doubling up (the Wrigley
twins come to mind). And
then thrice such. As I was
saying before, the gig di-
lemma, which is coming up
apace, anon, toot sweet:
do I head for Africa, which
has always been next on
the list and/or lose my he-
ad, either here or there?
Back on the ground is a
place we call Spotify (at
least these days). And
the news that Weezer
remade Toto just ab-
out a year ago? Or
something? I type it
onto (into?) my list,
post haste. We do
everything in a hurry,
have lots of projects,
and never finish any-
thing. Life is happy
like that. Am I dis-
appointed about the
whole Weezer thing?
I used to have a best
friend who was tot-
ally infatuated with
Rivers Cuomo. We
aren’t friends any
more because “I
am not the same
as I used to be.”
Anyway. Such a-
re so-called friend-
s. Well, the histo-
ry goes that we
went to an OK Go
concert (before
the treadmills
made them such
a big deal) just
because Cuomo is
buds with the ba-
nd, and word had
it that he’d be in
attendance. She
was right, and OK
Go was pretty rad.
It has been one of
my rare concert
experiences, es-
pecially those of
an intimate nat-
ure (it was at
Bottom of the
Hill). Indy band
gone full-on 80’s.
Or somesuch.
