So, I went to see John Vanderslice last friday. It was his first time at the Warhol, and it was a freaking great concert. The openers were an unknown (the Spanish Prisoners), so-so. But JV sounds even better live. Great concert. I'd given up on concerts, because they're chock-full of annoying gits who want to scream and yell and be generally obnoxious. But this was a very small setting, very relaxed and comfortable. Outstanding all around.

That's in my back yard. Kind of... Joe collector living near Mattress Factory and Warhol in Pittsburgh. Just thought I'd say hey.

Sounds like a great show. I'd like to see Mr. Vanderslice. Wonder if he's coming to the area. Runs off to check...

'Sup, gijoevscobra4ever? I'm a bit farther out than that, between Robinson and Washington. Apparently, there's a whole helluva lotta Joe collectors out here, cause the stores are hardly ever stocked.
WildWeasel - if you sign up on Mr. Vanderslice's website (johnvanderslice.com), he sends periodic e-mails with tour dates. |

Figures, he's avoiding Michigan like the plague (but he'll go to Ohio, I see how it is). Seems so many artists/bands have been doing that lately. Well maybe there will be a chance later on.

Don't feel bad - most people won't touch pittsburgh with a ten foot pole. Cleaveland or Philedelphia is usually the nearest.

MinstrelB,
I wonder how many serious collectors live in the burgh. I usually check the Target, TRU and Wal-Mart by Robinson... I think the main problem everywhere is distribution sucks.

Yeah, distribution is a problem, as is supply and demand, which I think was underestimated by Hasbro, who are trying to catch up. Haven't seen a single vehicle set at Target yet.
John Vanderslice is a singer-songwriter, and excellent to boot. All his recordings are done in 100% analog, and his studio tiny telephone is the only analog studio left in this country, everyone else opting for digital (analog is able to hold more bits of sound than digital - or something like that.) |
