As Far As I Can Tell

I went and saw Bob Nanna, The Geese and Owen tonight at the Fireside Bowl. The Geese sound exactly like I expected (ex-American Football sans Mike Kinsella), and Owen (the aforementioned Kinsella) sounded as good as he does on his recordings. I was curious to see what Bob Nanna was like by himself, and ended up being disappointed. He played a couple new songs and covers but mainly Braid classics. The solo versions of old material made for a depressing set that felt lacking. I think he’d be better if he sang songs that I haven’t already heard a full band perform. He’s released one split cd by himself, which I’d like to hear.

It turns out that my secondary computer that I was going to make an MP3 server doesn’t recognize my new 120GB hard drive. I guess I could expect that from its 1997 bios, but I was hoping to have a good use for it. Instead the drive is in my main system that I’m typing this from, and tomorrow I’ll copy all 53 of my MP3 cd’s onto it. I can’t wait to have all my music in one spot.
