I wasn’t planning on going to the last show. This entire week has been overload – a lot of shows. A party. My year-end project and final. You get the drift. Well, around 9pm I started thinking, “I wonder if they’ll ever tour again. I wonder if the last show this tour is the last show ever. I wonder if they’ll play ‘River Euphrates’?” So I decided that I would answer one Craig’s List ticket posting – and if the seller called me back, then cool – fate is telling me to go to the show…

I’m so glad I went – fucking phenomenal show – and yes they did play “River Euphrates” — holy shit. I really wanted to hear the opening band – Fifty Foot Wave – but I ended up at some meet and greet somewhere in the bowels of the Manhattan Center where I got to shake Frank Black’s hand. Pretty neat way to end the week.

SONG OF THE MOMENT: Pixies – “River Euphrates”
