There’s A General Yuck In The Air
It’s as humid as a New Orleans butt crack up here today. Oh, how I hate it. It’s still not hot, but there’s a general yuck in the air, which hints at the terribleness to come.
Yeah, it won’t be long before we have to lug the Soviet humbox window units up from the basement, and fill the house with a continuous roaring noise:
“Could you pass me the salt?”
“What?”
“The salt! Pass the salt!!”
“Oh, I don’t know. Five or six.”
“Who?”
“Tomorrow, dammit! Tomorrow!!”
Not a fan of summer… Pass the Gold Bond medicated crotch blower.
Apparently I’ll be going to an ultra-rare rock show next week. I’m not the most spontaneous person at this point in my life (it takes too much energy), but Steve and I decided yesterday, all willy-nilly.
He called while I was driving to work, and I mentioned that the New York Dolls were going to be at the Trocadero, in Philadelphia, soon. “Wanna go?” he said. “Yeah, I do!” I answered.
So, we checked our schedules (got the go-ahead from our wives) and ordered tickets. We bought them around six o’clock, and by the time I got home from work last night it was showing SOLD OUT. Did we get the last two? Excellent.
I don’t have the new Dolls album yet, but the previous one is great. And, of course, their stuff from the ’70s is iconic. Should be a fun show. Even though three of the original members are long-dead, including Johnny Thunders. But let’s try not to focus on the negative…
If the Eels tour this summer, which will probably happen, it’s very likely I’ll attend TWO shows in a single calendar year. Pretty good, huh? Who says I’m a pathetic old burn-out?
Hello? …Hello?
Speaking of phone conversations while driving, I spoke with Metten on Sunday while careening down Interstate 81. We’d never actually talked before, we’d only communicated through email and text messages. It was kinda surreal.
He said I sounded different than he thought I would. Maybe it’s because I was using my “sassy black woman” voice? I don’t know… Next time I’ll hit him with my “enthusiastic Chinese business-owner,” and maybe that’ll work better?
We were discussing who should write Monday’s post at Mockable. I volunteered, and cranked out this little morsel of ridiculousness in about thirty minutes. Funny thing, though. It’s one of my favorites so far.
A guy at my job reportedly won $100,000 with a scratch-off lottery ticket yesterday morning. Supposedly he showed up for work last night, and told his boss he wouldn’t be returning.
I’m not sure that’s the wisest move on his part. But what do I care?
And I need to stop right here. I’m all outta time. I don’t really have a formal Question today…
How about the last concert/show you attended? Any good? Also, have you ever met someone you’ve only known through email, or over the phone at work, and had them pictured completely wrong? Tell us about it. And finally, the lottery dilemma… Would you quit your job for $100,000 of found-money?
I’ll see you guys tomorrow.

I would have to win a hell of a lot more than $100,000 to just up and quit my job. And ya’ll know I hate this damn place!
[Reply]
Last concert was Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction, just a few weeks back. I have seen both so many times that it was just like a replay of the previous shows. They did all the hits and the new stuff, but I figured it may be the last time I see either of them, so I enjoyed it.
In Boone, I spoke with another law office to a paralegal that sounded like she was young, blonde and stacked. I had to drive to their office and research files with her in Tennessee and she was young, had the brown redneck frizzy self perm and weighed nearly 400 pounds.
I would quit my job for $10,000 right now.

I had to put the AC in the window in April this year. I never cared for the NY Dolls. How many of them are left?

It’s so hot and muggy here, it feel like somebody smeared Kentucky Jelly all over me.
[Reply]
last concert – Wayne Newton in Vegas. Laughed harder than I had in years. Old ladies gone wild. Wayne was kissing them all and spreading disease amongst those with weakened immune systems.
2nd to last – Elton John in Vegas. set design was very phallic w/ overt sexual overtones. The clients loved that one. My boss, sitting next to me, just squirmed the whole time.
I once thought someone I had communicated with via email was a woman. Turns out it was a man. Just goes to show you that you shouldn’t name your child anything androgynous. I giggled uncontrollably when I finally met him in person and had to confess my mistake.
After taxes, $100 grand is hardly worth quitting for. Keep the job and invest the money for retirement because Uncle Sam ain’t gonna be able to help when you come of age — if you actually hit that ever-moving target.
[Reply]
I talk to people on the phone all the time and I always paint a picture in my head of what they look like. When I meet them I’m often pissed off. They’re smiling and shaking my hand but I’m thinking to myself, “Fuck you. You’re supposed to have a long white beard and a bow tie. And look at you! You’re a redhead with huge tits.” It’s a big disappointment. I never get the picture right. They NEVER look like I think they should.
[Reply]
Ognir – just two NY dolls left now:
1) David Johanson (sp?)
2) Sylvain Mizrahi
I’m still a little pissed at the Dolls. I bought tickets for their show here in SLC a couple of weeks ago, but they cancelled due to lack of interest (sold <100 tix). Also: Maybe they think that the Mormons had something to do with Arthur ‘Killer’ Kane’s death(?)
[Reply]
Oops, forgot to mention… the man who I thought was a woman… that was work-related, not online dating.
[Reply]
100,000? Only if I was debt free, I was about to die in 3 years, and I lived someplace where a US dollar would get you a steak dinner, a hooker, and someone to wipe my ass.
That is only 50,000 after taxes….
[Reply]
It takes two people to call themselves the Rolling Stones — Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Without one of those two, it ain’t the Rolling Stones.
It takes two people to call themselves Led Zeppelin — Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Without one of those two, it ain’t Led Zeppelin.
And it takes two people to call themselves the New York Dolls — David Johansen and Johnny Thunders. Without Mr. Thunders, it’s just a David Johansen solo show, with a guy on rhythm guitar who also used to be in Johansen’s old band.
I don’t care how good the two post-Thunders “New York Dolls” albums are, they never should’ve been released under the name of that legendary band.
[Reply]
Last show Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons..
Before that Clapton last summer great concert !
[Reply]
A colleague whom I had only spoken to on the phone thought I was Black, not the pasty white that I am. When I asked her what gave her that idea, she admitted that she’d made the assumption based on conversations we had had about one of my friends, a Black woman whom she’d already met.
The fact that this came from and Irish Jew made the whole thing even more humorous.
[Reply]
Leonard Cohen in Philly last month. Very good.
$100K is far from fuck-you money. What a twit. I bet he buys an Escalade or similar.
[Reply]
Swami, I’m cool with a David Johanson solo show, for twenty bucks. Sign me up!
[Reply]
Last Show was The Tubes a couple months ago.
$100,000 and quit my job?? No chance in hell.
The cheeseburger was really good!
[Reply]
I take issue with your New Orleans butt crack comment. It’s actually quite nice down here right now. Now last week…
Last show: Widespread Panic @ Orange Beach, AL. Great shows. May go to Bonarroo on Sunday.
We had a gathering of several of us from a (different) messageboard a few weeks ago. That was pretty weird, but fun.
$100K? Not even close enough to quit the job. I’d have a nice vacation though.
[Reply]
Last concert – Ritchie Valens.
[Reply]
Last concert I was was America. Just as good now as they were back in the 70′s. 100K wouldn’t even convince me to take a day off. Maybe if it were yuans or pounds, I would take half a day!
[Reply]
Good Afternoon Surf Reporters……
Sorry I missed the update and festivities yesterday. I too have a Never Again restaurant experience, but now it seems too late and well, too late.
Last concert was 2 summers ago. I won’t mention the main act name for fear of castigation, but I’ll give you a clue: 90% of the males are frat boy douche types with hemp necklaces and wearing their hats backwards.
The girls are all profusely drunk and screaming “Watchtower!!”
The opening act was G Love and Special Sauce – they were meh, ok I guess.
And no, 100 K is no way near enough to quit a job. Once the ether wears off, he’ll be questioning exactly what it was he did.
[Reply]
Also saw the Little River Band (3 original members left) for free at Busch Gardens a couple of months ago, but I don’t count that one. About 100 people per show (3 shows) showed up. Some bands don’t know when to give it up.
Did you know- “abstemious” and “facetious” are the only two words in English that use all five vowels in order?

Jeff, if you don’t like humidity, you can always come back to California and partake in some summer water rationing and a massive wildfire or two.
[Reply]
Fuck no. 100k would barely cover my current debt load. My better half won’t even bother to make the trip down to the corner Swami Swifti on Tuesdays if the Mega Millions is not more than 50 million.
[Reply]
Last concert, Tom Petty-memorable.
$100,000 to quit my job? Uhhhh no. What an idiot.
[Reply]
Okay, I am going into character now….trying to imagine that I am the dude who quit his job for the lottery money.
Here’s my line:
“I quit my job for a $100,000 chocolate bar and a date with Stevie Nicks. She’s gonna have to spring for the chocolate, cuz I’m broke”
[Reply]
Last small concert- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Last big concert -The White Stripes
Quit for 100 K? not a chance, but I’d pay off my house.
1 million? Getting close….even 5% return = 50,000….
10 million? For sure.
But then, I never buy lottery tickets in the first place, so my chances are slightly lower than others.
[Reply]
last concert i went to was in 2006. i saw the decemberists. with my ridiculous job/school crap i don’t get to go out much anymore. it’s killing me. slowly.
i’d absolutly quit my deadend job for 100k. i think i could start up a business with that. and since i have no kids and own my own place…
at my current job there’s a woman who sounds so nice and sweet and cute (like grandma cute). in real life? she’s one of the reasons i wanna quit my job.
[Reply]
The last time I saw a photo of David Johanson, he looked like a skeleton with some skin on it. I hope you have a good show. I have not been to a show in a couple of years now. The last one was Ryan Adams.
[Reply]
In April, I went to three concerts:
1. Paul McCartney in Las Vegas
2. The Coachella Festival in Palm Springs (featuring Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, and Paul McCartney)
3. and the David Lynch’s Concert for Change in New York (featuring, McCartney, Ringo Starr, Donovan, and Eddie Vedder — among others)
[Reply]
I’ve met a few people in person after getting to know them on the internet. Some aren’t surprised in the least and some are shocked to find that I’m really quite quiet.
I think it depends on whether I’ve had my medication or not on that particular day.
[Reply]
Quit my job for 100K? Nope no way, that would just barely pay me and Brynhildr’s tour of Germany sampling exotic sausages and beer. It would put a sizable dent in my college loans though.
[Reply]
@ Tammie – That’s because you have a vent for your wild side. I vented once but it left a trail of broken hearts from San Diego to Perth, Australia.

100k is nothing. That guy is an idiot.

Last concert I went to was Rush, Faith Band and the Babys. If that tells ya how long it’s been since I saw a good concert.

@ Jeff – How did you get that picture of me? You should have told me I was going to be a Bunker Cam subject.

Not a concert goer. I tend to mistake most song lyrics. I also tend to mix versus up.
100G’s is not what it use to be. But maybe they had a more exicting job lined up prior to striking gold with the PA Lottery.

Hmm after taxes 100k would probably be less than a years salary, what quit your job for a year? I don’t think so. I would buy a new car though to drive me to work!
[Reply]
Last show was the Red Hot Chili Peppers a couple of years ago. If things work out I’ll catch a few shows this summer, but who knows….FYI: The Specials have reunited and are touring in November (http://www.nme.com/news/the-specials/45181). There are no North American dates yet, but hope springs eternal.
Quit my job after winning $100K? Smart move. If I recall lottery winnings are taxed 50% in the U.S., so this future organ donor is only going to net 50 grand, which is about one year’s salary. I’d keep the job and either invest the money, pay off any high interest debt, or buy some property while the market is low.
[Reply]
@retrollama: Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, and Paul McCartney. *blink blink* One of these things is not like the other.
I was never allowed to go to concerts. By the time I was able to make that decision for myself I was no longer particularly interested. I’m not a fan of loud, enclosed spaces, such as the Troc. I did try out a couple disappointing lollafauxloozer knockoffs in the 90s, the salient memory from one of them being not the music but a hapless young man dressed like a banana whom the audience physically abused for the better part of the concert. At one point they grabbed him and a blanket and repeatedly threw him in the air until he was crying. I guess that’s what you get when you leave your Fruit of the Loom buddies behind to fold the tighty-whities.
[Reply]
$100,000 is no where near enough to quit. I wouldn’t quit for a million. 5 or ten million, maybe. That $100,000 is only about $60,000 or less after taxes so for this guy it might be 2, 2.5 yrs of salary. But he’ll probably blow a good portion of it in the meantime.
5 million after taxes I could quit.
[Reply]
Oh, I did get the privilege to attend a special performance concert of Paul Young in DC when he was still touring. I met him and the band a pub and we drank beer and talked about music until a few groupies came in and recognized him and he had to make a hasty exit to the hotel to shake them off.
[Reply]
OMG! Paul Young… fond memories. Sirius doesn’t play nearly enough of his music.
[Reply]
@ Brynhildr – This is scary. We like the same type of foods, the same type of music, what next!!!
[Reply]
I don’t have a job.
last concert was lawrence welk
[Reply]
ABB & Gov’t Mule. Oh yeah…
Someone needs to by Teddy Pendergrass a samlich. He don’t look so good. If you get a chance check out the movie “New York Doll”. You might like it.
[Reply]
Shiny Rod, we can’t continue like this or everyone will start losing their lunch again.
[Reply]
It’s been so long that I don’t remember the last concert I went to…I’m sure it was something gay though.
I do have tickets to see Depeche Mode in August. They’re a habit I just can’t quit.
I’d never quit my job for $100k.
[Reply]
Quit for $100K? he’s insane, $100K doesn’t get me thru November from here.
Last Concert – Richard Cheese and Lounge against the Machine
[Reply]
Depeche Mode – something gay
[Reply]
That guy went a step further than I would have if that $100K was mine – He actually showed up at the office the next day to quit in person.
My boss would have gotten a nasty email.
[Reply]
Luckily I skipped lunch today.
Toby Keith, it was free with free beer in a VIP seating area with a designated driver.
Being debt free, 100K would allow me to pursue something else.
[Reply]
@Uncle_Wedgie – yep, that’s why I like them. I’m all about gay music…the gayer, the better.
Went to a Pet Shop Boys concert once. Now THAT was gay.
[Reply]
Last show I saw was Blue October..it was Great!
I speak to a lot of people on the phone and when I do meet them they NEVER look like how they sound…I gave up long ago.
No, I would not quit my job for $100,000.00…maybe $100,000,000.00…
[Reply]
Def would not quit for $100,000 – I actually like my job (most days that are not today). I would, however, move to a bigger apt. And maybe get that vacation to Tahiti finally!
Last show was four bands of punk/rock guys under 30 who you’ve never heard of. Most recent actual “concerts” were Buckcherry, Gaslight Anthem, & Katy Perry. Kinda all over the map.
My first “serious bf” was a friend of a friend who I talked to on the phone for almost a year before we ever met – my friend had me convinced that he was ugly & dorky. I was (very pleasantly) surprised the night we met and he was neither. Blond curls & blue-green eyes – as my 13-year-old self would put it, sooooo dreamy!

Most of you guys know I’m a regular concert-goer, so I won’t bore you. Last concert I went to was one of the “surprise” gigs by Green Day at a small club because I know their Tour Manager – Michael Schenker is next on Thursday night. Jeff, saw the Dolls last year for the first time in eons and they rocked. You’ll love it.
Currently unemployed, but if I was working there’s no way in Hell I’d quit my job for $100,000. That’s just crazytalk.

I had the same experience Metten did with you, Jeff, when Jim from jimformation called me about a computer issue he was having.
I have followed his site since 1999 – just a great writer. Not comedy like you (which I love, obvs) but short stories and essays.
Of course all of those years of reading his work I had an idea of how he might sound and I was wayyyy off. His voice was higher than I expected. Not gay high (not that there is anything wrong with that) just higher than I imagined.
Any more on doing that podcast you were considering?
[Reply]
OH!
Also to Jeff and the other night owls out there:
I have a friend that will be on Coast To Coast AM this Thursday night talking about his movie Generation RX.
http://www.generationrxfilm.com/
His name is Kevin Miller and it will be the first time I will hear his voice.
He wants me to call in and I told him I would try since he was kind enough to send me the DVD. I get right through on Computer America but I never tried calling Coast To Coast before.
Been a long time fan and always liked Noory so we shall see. I know you have been listening while working this new job.

Last Concert – Jeff Beck at Irving Plaza in NYC in April – good show.
[Reply]
Last one before that was Ray Davies at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC last december. Another good show.

Last concert…..bruce springsteen and the E street band last month. Fan-frickin-tasic. How he didn’t have a heart attck running around like he was, I’ll never know but I’m glad I got to see them before they stopped doing shows.
[Reply]
Last concert – Nickleback, one before that was James Blunt – I went to that as a favor for a friend who had tickets at the last minute. After every song I thought ‘Oh, I know that song and I hate it’. Took every ounce of energy I have to not run on stage and kick his ass for singing like a girl.
James Blunt looks just like I expected…..
[Reply]
I gotta agree with Swami Bologna – Buster and Sylvain Sylvain do not The New York Dolls make. I guess I put those two Dolls LPs on such a high pedestals that I never really loved any other post-breakup Dolls stuff except for a few of Thunders’ releases, and I think his “So Alone” was the only one that really came close to greatness. It would be interesting to see what they’re doing, now, but it depresses me to think about it. They didn’t sound too half bad in the footage of the “New York Doll” documentary and some of the newer live stuff I’ve heard. But, it’s sort of like the Stooges/MC5 reunion thang a while back. The Stooges were God-like to me when I was younger, and I had everything they released, but I don’t think in a million years I’d want to see a bunch of paunchy, fat old men on stage belting out Stooges songs, further impressing the point that I’m just a paunchy, fat old fan standing there watching them. I’d feel like one of those grey-haired oldsters that I see pathetically twisting at old Sha Na Na shows at state fairs. I just can’t get past the reunion thing; it feels sort of sad and pathetic. I love nostalgia, but I think it seriously tarnishes the memory of the band of how glorious they were back in their heyday. The Dolls were part of a huge pivotal point in Rock and Roll history, and I’d like to remember them that way. Blue Oyster Cult played here a year or two ago. I LOOOOOOVE BOC with a brokeback passion, but I knew I’d just get depressed, so I stayed home. Same with The Pixies. It just won’t work for me…
However, Cracker will be playing in Louisville in July, which should get me off my ass to see ‘em. They’re one of the few touring bands that I could really give a shit about anymore…
[Reply]
>>@retrollama: Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, and Paul McCartney. *blink blink* One of these things is not like the other.<<
So you mean the guys in Franz Ferdinand aren’t total fags?

[Reply]
@AngryWhiteGuy, Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction! Dang, they’re all over the place. My 19-year-old nephew saw them Friday night in Boston, and my boss is at the same show right now in Virginia.
Last concert I went to was Orange Tulip Conspiracy a few weeks ago at the Black Cat in DC. Last “big” concert I went to (i.e. a band you might have heard of) was King Crimson a few years ago at the Birchmere. Both were excellent, absolutely worth the time and effort.
Dave Brubeck is in town again this summer, and I’m thinking I ought to go. I don’t much care for his recent work, but I do like his old stuff. Plus, he’s an American icon and he’s not going to be around much longer.
[Reply]
Flipper, last Sunday night and it was totally excellent.
[Reply]
Bonnie Raitt (twice)…Lyle Lovett…k.d. Lang…Gypsy Kings (twice)…not all in one night. Small venue…Hard Rock in Vegas when I lived there. Absolutly killer every time.
100K is just enough to take a year off and learn something. I’d start with two new languages and spend all my time practicing to get back my trumpet chops.
I’ve heard myself on my answering machine and I don’t think I look like anything I sound like. First of all I have a fully developed nose. Not a big schnozz, but not a little nub either. Also, my eyes are a lot bluer than somebody that sounds like that. I’m a lot taller too!
[Reply]
The Avett Brothers (with Dave Matthews). Yeah, I’ve mentioned it before, and, like JCIII, fear retribution. Oh well. Loved the opening act like a fanboy and will be going back in July (without Dave Matthews).
As for the 100K, definitely not enough to quit unless you have a backup. Maybe the guy is opening a bar or taking a sabbatical.
[Reply]
Last show paid for: Dave Matthews in Raleigh, before LeRoi Moore kicked the bucket. Free shows: Puddle of Mudd headlined a free show with Saving Abel and some other openers. Left before POM started playing. It was fully meh.
@ tadpolegal: My first show was the Tubes, I was wondering if those ole farts were still around…
I’m self-employed, so $100k would buy me a workshop and a week off.
[Reply]
Forgot to add my first concert was Van Halen (I was in love with Eddie). Was a gift from friends – ticket cost $7 I still have it . Does that make me feel old?
[Reply]
Last concert? I went to a new years show that had H20 (Hardcore NYC punk) that was in KC.
[Reply]
@ Jeff.
You have all of these advertise here things going on but you need to inform of how to acquire space. I have looked all over and nothing is listed.
Can you work on that?
I can think of 2 friends that might pay to add traffic to their site since they use google ad words and live in PA and can fix computers remotely like me.
More info is required.

@ Knucklehead:
Thanx, I’ll do that! I love all the Cracker/CVB/Monks of Doom stuff. I saw CVB live four times, and met them all and hungout for one of their soundchecks once (when they played a show with Tiny Tim back in the 80s), but I’ve never seen Cracker live. Really looking forward to it if I can manage to get there!
[Reply]
I’ll take that last statement back, I did sort of see Cracker live once – caught Dave Lowery and Johnny Hickman doing an acoustic set – but it still wasn’t Cracker per se…
[Reply]
Last show? Ben Folds on my birfday. Out-Standing! I just love that little man.
Quit for 100k? Uh, no. Even before taxes that wouldn’t cover my debt. Thank you law school.
Meet someone who didn’t look like they sound? I worked in radio for a really long time, so, yes, I have met a lot of people who don’t look like they sound, including myself. I sound like I am tall and dark and exotic looking. I am not. Well, I am tall, but not as tall as I sound. Sometimes I even disappoint myself.
[Reply]
last show – Radiohead and before that, Dave Matthews Band, before that, Chris Smither. going to see DMB in a couple of weeks, too. I do not fear retribution. don’t give a damn.
If I won $100K, I’d quit this job, fo sho! I’m self-employeed and working this temp pay-for-shit data entry job to help with finances since our medical bills have stacked up considerably (hubby had prostate cancer – all the men out there, get your PSA#s checked). I’d take the $100K, pay the bills and get back to my biz.
Reminds me – its Wed and I’ll play the lotto today.
[Reply]
100k might get me to drop this joint. I won’t be able to live on it but it might be a push to get me to pursue something else. I’m a cubicle monkey. Gray walls, lots of typeing.
Last concert? Don’t even remember. I’m pretty cheap about such things so its been awhile. Black Crowes maybe. Maybe if I win 100k I can go to all the concerts I want and work part time? Hmmmm….
[Reply]
Mmmm….$100,000. Quit?…no…. but would start something else, for sure.. to get the fuck out of here. All ready have a side busness that is my passion…would like to do that full time.
Just saw Zac Brown Band at PNC Park as I stated in another writing. The concert before that was Alan Jackson. Always great. I’m a country girl at heart! Jamboree in the Hills coming soon! WHOO-HOO!
Hate the heat of summer….humidity sucks. Sweat like a fat kid with no cake.
[Reply]
I’d pick up Karin’s joint and finish it. Then I’d point out to her how awesome ceiling fans are. Check it out, chica, it has blades and it’s chopping up the air in little pieces and raining it down on us. Far out. Then we’d go to White Castle and spend some of that $100k.
[Reply]
My last show was Southern Culture on the Skids with opening act Malamondo’s. Scots always puts on a great show and the Go-Go Dancers with Malamondo’s were NICE!!!!
$100K would be great but not enough to quit working. It would keep me living the dream with Wendy’s #2 combo each day though!

Biff Spiffy,
The Tubes are, indeed, still around. Just saw them a few months ago at the Red Devil Lounge (max. cap. 350 – if that). Hilarious.
Average age of attendee: 50+.
