The Year of our Demise

OH my, huge sighs...Jon Auer is playing acoustic on the radio as I type on KEXP in Seattle. His solo record finally comes out this week. Man, his voice just melts me into mush. I tried to get my pal Jon to listen with me but my gushing must have scared him off (and my lack of wireless in my basement office) "Six Feet Under" was first track, "The year of our demise" was second. Jon said it was the bookends of the LP. Now Jon is talking about the Posies being darker then most people think (What gave that away, maybe "Everybody is a Fucking Liar") Kevin Cole is doing the interview who used to be my old pal B's boss at Rev 105 in Mlps.

OH, Jon is doing it stripped down for the tour...Awesome!!!! I would rather see him that way for the solo tour. When I saw him in SF, I didn't like or accept the idea of him playing with another band.

The Posies will do another record he says and are BACK! “Treacherous waters to navigate” Jon says about being in a band. WOW, he says The Posies write in a group now instead of bringing individual songs to the table! That is probably why the last record was so different.

OK, he is playing again...Did I say he is one of the best singers known to man? My oh my, I am feeling a nostalgia to my old love of the 90's...;) This is making me very excited to go see him in LA! This song seems to be called “Josephine.” I haven’t decided if I am going to email him and tell him I am coming to the show or not. I seem to remember surprising him in Chicago many moons ago (blogged here recently) I should wear my Posies necklace. (God, will I ever not be such a dork?)
"Sundown" is on track he is doing now. Darius is with him in the studio.

DAMN it, a fricking student just came to ask me stupid stuff about not being able to get a hold of another student. I had my door shut too…GRR I missed the last part of the interview. I can’t even shut my door, oh and upstairs called and asked it I would do an impromptu tour. I am positive I do not do tours on demand or zero notice. I guess I should ask my boss but NO WAY!

Not that I wasn’t but now I am officially psyched to go to see JA in LA!
