A disappointing concert (sigh)

Everybody has heard me rave on and on about how the Woodentops are
so brilliant I can hardly stand it etc.  I thought I'd submit this
to show how objective I am...

I saw them again last night at the 9:30 Club in Washington, and it
was...well, the magic wasn't there, that's for sure.  They weren't
half as lively as they were last time around and the only moment that
REALLY impressed me was a hot version of "Travellin' Man" that
segued right into "Get It On."  They stretched "Steady Steady" into
oblivion, reducing its power.

So I find out that the entire band had the FLU.  That explains it!
I forgive them and I hope they'll be back soon.  BTW, they have a
great remix of "Love Affair With Everyday Livin'" out on 12" remixed
by -- I couldn't believe it, either -- Adrian Sherwood!

Has anybody heard the new Robyn Hitchcock album???  He will be
touring next month -- DON'T miss him!  Skinny Puppy/Severed Heads
cancelled their tour...grrrr.
