Wilco and that...

Went with a new brother in arms to Wilco last night at The Pavillion in Boston. I can't be arsed writing about it, but it was a great gig, so check out good reviews at the blog Random Musings and the Boston Globe if you want info or somesuch with enthusiasm that I just can't muster cos I'm still tiiiiiired.

Yep, still strugglin' with getting into the swing of nights being days and days being nights with the lights all round the wrong way.

Yesterday we went to Little Italy in the North End of Boston which was awesome. We had a walking tour, then I got the greatest sandwich known to humanity from a butcher. In the arvo we had a meeting with some editors from The Christian Science Monitor, which is a proper legitimate daily - they have an interesting history which means they cannot change the name.

Today we went to the JFK museum in the morning. It wasn't a museum as much as it was a shrine to JFK, but it was wonderfully presented and still very enjoyable. Arvo saw us checking out Harvard. It's everything you'd expect and has an awesome bookshop called the Coop. Yeah, it's meant to be the co-operative but because Americnas are alergic to hyphens they actually call it the coop, like bird coop. Ick.

Anywho, the important thing is I bought Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five and Coetzee's Disgrace from The Coop for fourteen bucks apiece, and the history of the Blue Note label from a second-hand bookshop for five bucks. Cool day.

Tomorrow's Salem. Watch out, witches.
