Soul Coughing – Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago

Video 11 Comments

now, i can't admit to soul coughing being extremely influential on a young joe's life. i definitely dug on them though. in fact, a very feverish young joe (which was a rare occasion, no matter what he occasionally told his parents early on school day mornings) saw them headlining at first avenue with low opening. if you're going to go to a show semi-out of your mind (non-chemically enhanced-- wait, or highly chemically enhanced too, i suppose), i might recommend low/soul coughing.

Fountains Of Wayne – Troubled Times

Video 9 Comments

When Fountains of Wayne released their self titled album I remember hearing "Radiation Vibe" on the New Music show on CFNY. I was in 8th grade and fell in love with the band. Sadly, with it being high school, most people were listening to terrible music like Creed instead. I was in 10th grade when FOW released Utopia Parkway. The album itself wasn't as good as their first effort but man, this tune really spoke to a 16 year old Hitman.  1998 was still the sort of early days of the internet and I e-mailed Fountains of Wayne telling them how much this song ruled and how it should be a number one hit.  A couple of days later I got a response telling me how their label released their record the same week as Creed released their album and the Creed disc got all the promotion while their album got no push. I was devestated and vowed to myself to hate Creed forever.

It was a pretty easy promise to make to myself.

Minor Details: Games of 9/5

1 Comment

Pawtucket 7, Rochester 3 in Pawtucket.  The Red Sox scored four in the second and three in the fifth to take the victory.  Aaron Bates and Toby Gardenhire each hit a home run.  Eric Hacker surrendered all seven runs on seven hits and three walks in five innings.

Trenton 5, New Britain 3 in New Britain (11 innings).  The Rock Cats scored two in the eighth to tie the score, but the Thunder scored two in the eleventh to win.  Brian Dozier doubled and tripled to close out the season at .318.  Chris Herrmann singled and tripled.  Mike Hollimon had two hits.  Spencer Steedley allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings.  Blake Martin took the loss, giving up the eleventh-inning runs in his second inning of work.  The loss knocked the Rock Cats out of the playoffs, but Reading won, so the Rock Cats would not have made the playoffs anyway.

Wisconsin 11, Beloit 0 in Beloit.  It was 1-0 after six, but the Timber Rattlers scored eight runs in the seventh.  The Snappers had only two hits.  A. J. Achter struck out five in five innings, giving up a run on three hits and a walk.
