Anybody hear of The Shackeltons?
They're labeled a post-punk band who got signed by Loveless Records in Seattle and have met with some critical acclaim, although I don't put much faith in Rolling Stone.
Anyway, they're the opener for SPOON this Saturday night, so I'll be seeing both. We have seats in the 5th row center, so I'm sure my good friend Britt Daniel will acknowledge my presence.
Next Friday it's PAVEMENT with opening act Kurt Vile. Yes, I said PAVEMENT! I'll be shocked if Slosh tells me he's not going to this show at the Mann.
Hey, I learned a few Spoon tunes on guitar, just in case..

..he invites me up on stage to play a couple songs with them. I also take a glove along to baseball games just in case the left fielder goes down with an injury and they need a reliable glove and arm out there. Yeah, just in case.
An interesting factoid is that the band named themselves..
