though nothing quite as far as Yemen (see below).this isn't really what I do here, extensions to the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss and Liz Phair tours seemed newsworthy enough to merit mention.
Phair will, of course, reprise, from start to finish and in order, her recently reissued Exile in Guyville in Philly, DC and Boston on August 27, 28 & 29 respectively (reviews from her previous performances in San Francisco and New York gave major charm points; Chicago not so much). and tickets go on sale this Wednesday for all three shows.
Mr. Plant, Ms. Krauss and company (including T-Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller) have added another half dozen shows or show, all west of the Mississippi, to those few already rescheduled (I believe St. Louis is now being recorded for a DVD release). reviews here have been positive across the board and tickets, like those for Liz's re-issue shows, have gone quickly (though at about four times the price as revisiting Ms. Phair).
and Laurie Anderson (my interview with her just posted this morning) is finishing her domestic Homeland dates with five nights, starting tomorrow, at Lincoln Center. tickets are still available.
more Plant/Krauss reading . . .
more Liz Phair reading . . .
last book I ever read: Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Soderberg (a/k/a the book that Peter, Bjorn and John member Peter Moren has read at least twice). took me a while, but the novel deserves its classic designation irregardless (is that a word? I've never known) of geographic distinctions.
the book Robert Plant has read at least twice: Yemen: The Unknown Arabia by Tim Mackintosh-Smith (it's on my list)
