ALO have added a series of dates in the Pacific Northwest, including a stop in Vancouver, BC. They’ll be playing with New Monsoon - and I’m not sure which is the headliner. I suppose it doesn’t matter, both are fun bands - but I’d love to catch a ‘full’ ALO show. The only time I’ve seen them previously was when they opened for Galactic @ the TLA in Philly (11/17/05). Oh and speaking of Galactic - they’re putting out a hip hop album. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but Galactic are certainly the type of band that could pull something like that off, so I’ll reserve judgement until I hear it.

And if you’re wondering why this is a 4:20 post, listen to the lyrics of Wasting Time (Isla Vista Song).

The recently added ALO dates are:

07/29/07 Horning’s Hideout, North Plains, OR
08/01/07 Richard’s on Richards, Vancouver, BC
08/02/07 Nightlight, Bellingham, WA
08/03/07 Neumos Seattle, WA

ALO - Wasting Time (Isla Vista Song)
Galactic w/ ALO - Yes We Can (live)

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin’ bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down… and won
And it was twelve o’clock before I realized
That I was havin’ .. no fun

But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone
No I’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

John Prine - Illegal Smile

New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Panama Red

I can only use so many tracks from this album before I get in trouble, so this will be the last. Gus Black rocks Neil Youngs’ Homegrown (previously posted here). And yes, this is the same Gus that did Don’t Fear The Reaper on the Scream soundtrack. He certainly has a knack for covers.

Gus - Homegrown

Blah blah blah, the site is called RockMusicDaily not BlueGrassDaily but that’ll never stop me from posting the good shit -

Public Apology to the Girls @ The Weezer Concert In Philadelphia on Thursday, October 15th, 2005

..and their boyfriends. Listen, you asked me for a hit of my joint, and I did the right thing by saying no problem. I almost felt bad when your boyfriends had to carry you out 20 minutes later, but I heard that comment about how there was “something else in it” - no there damn sure wasn’t.

Weezer - Hash Pipe

And now a really bad song by Incubus -

Incubus - Smoke The Herb

Sorry Incubus fans, I still don’t get it.

So as a bonus to the not-very-good song above, fire up your chainsaw-bong and rip this at full volume -

Jackyl - The Lumberjack

Another track that will appear here multiple times - Black Sabbath’s Sweet Leaf.

OK sure it’s actually 4:20AM, but after a 7AM flight from Toronto to Vancouver, then a 6 hour “nap” in the afternoon, it’s understandable that I’m still awake. Right? Anyway - I said before that I’d make this a 420 post (mp3) at some time, now is that time.
