rec of the day: GALAXIE 500 "uncollected noise new york '88-90" (silver current 2LP) as much as i love damon & naomi + all of dean wareham's projects, G500 hold a special place in my heart. the insanely great vu/pop destruction here easily shows why this is. galaxie500.bandcamp.com/album/uncoll...

rained all day at gonerfest, but things moved inside and the big tent erected in the front kept everyone dry and tight (as it were). day started with ross johnson/jeff evans comedy hour, and roared through to cheater slicks>gee tee>jon spencer finish. retail simps & tube alloys sets amazing too

very nice fried green tomoatoes -- light, thin-sliced and truly green -- and fine delta-style tamales at westy's in memphis.
