the internet can be such a bitch. I just stumbled across a handful of live Mike Doughty recordings at archive.org, and I'm all psyched to download them and listen to them, but they're in FLAC format. So boring. I guess, as "The Internet Archive", they're entitled to store tracks in whatever lossless format "for the ages" they want, but, I mean, what a pain in the ass. Now I have to download a new app, a converter. But go listen to the show anyway, because even though I haven't actually done that yet, I'm fairly certain that the 11-13-03 show is absolutely great. Mike Doughty tours through here a lot, and his "small rock" shows are always spectacular. His crowd banter is unparalleled.
I saw Mike 2 years ago in San Francisco, and after the show I was standing in a crowd of people waiting to buy a copy of his solo CD, available only at shows. As I'm standing there holding my $15, the guy in front of me hands Mike $140 for one CD, and insists that Mike take it. Such is the awesome musical power of Mike Doughty.
Aron - you just missed him in Chicago.
Merritt - go see him on March 19 in Dallas.
Erin and Alison - go to this Saturday's show
psst - Alison - remember when we tried to see him in Pittsburgh and we were denied based on the poor quality of my fake id? those were the days.
