I will have to agree, St. Patty’s is my favorite holiday. Number one, everything is green (my favorite color). It celebrates drinking and I get to go to the Touch of Europe and enjoy real cornbeef and cabbage. Here’s to my favorite Irish band, the Pogues;

South DaCola Music Club w/ Dick Dale

I had the pleasure of seeing Dale perform three times. What amazes me the most about him, that even in his 60’s he performs at an amazingly higher level then most musicians and secondly he is incredibly approachable. When he played the Tavern Cavern (formerly Suite E and Nitwits) after the show he was signing girls boobs with a sharpie. He also signed the dash of Rocco’s 1970 Coronet RT.
One of the most memorable concerts was when he was playing Knights of Columbus Hall and his grandson was apparently his roadie (poor kid) and Dale’s (very old) amp was backfeeding like crazy, so while he is playing a hot lick, he is nodding at his grandson to fix it, mind you, Dale is a pretty big guy, and he wears cowboy boots. As his grandson is bent over trying to fix the amp, Dale is yelling at him, finally he just gets fed up, (literally) kicks his grandson in the ass, walks over to the amp, turns a knob about a half an inch and it is fixed. I have never laughed so hard in my life.

Once again, I found myself going South (Sioux City this time) to see one of my favorite bands. The Supersuckers played The Chesterfield last night in SUX.
But they didn’t play my favorite song;

Scott Hudson’s local music project

From my email box;
Hey everybody,
Around two months ago, I commenced a weekly music podcast entitled The Ledge (http://theledge.mevio.com). Along with links on my site (http://scotthudson.blogspot.com), and the usual self-promotion on twitter and facebook, I’ve been added to the lineup at http://realpunkradio.com. Most of these shows have had themes, including power pop, postpunk, and covers.
At the Cracker show the other night, a few of us were talking about my show, and one of the ideas that we drunkenly came up with was a show centered around local music. While a good portion of the selections are fairly obvious, thirty years of bad behavior has resulted in some faulty memory. I’m calling upon my fellow music fanatics for some suggestions – not only for bands but tracks that I should consider. I’m also in need of some of these tracks, particularly those that were never released in a digital format (attention, Mr. Scarbrough!). It would also be fun to possibly add some commentary from some of you fine people.
If this works out as planned, this could be a multi-part project. My dream would be three separate shows, each one devoted to a different decade. Besides some fun reminiscing about the old days, I believe the affiliation with realpunkradio could help prove that even our little cow town has had some musical moments worth preserving. As you may expect, however, I plan on sticking to my elitist indie rock/punk/garage/etc. standards, so don’t even think about suggesting certain local would-be pop stars that I will refrain from mentioning in this email.
There’s no real time frame for this project. Hell, the individual episodes don’t even have to run on consecutive weeks. I just want to begin the process of compiling music and interview segments.
Thanks,
Scott
