ah yes, another episode of the five & dime show.   thanks for listening.

shopkeeper ken

the shows i wanted to mention are as follows:   this weekend a new store is opening in riverwest, it’s called ‘rustbelt fiberwerks’ at 718 east center street, and these fools will be playing both saturday & sunday, i believe around 2pm both days:      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJf3d6O8fXc    i hope that link works, i’m an idiot when it comes to this blog, don’t know how to do anything.    the best i can do is type, and even then……………

the milwaukee talkees are quite possibly the best band you may have never had the chance to see…..well, this weekend, you have two.   doug (guitarist) has been absent from our city for some time, but is making a triumphant return for this weekend only……please do yourself a favor & go check them out & check out the shop as well.

the other show is one that i helped curate…..coming up on october 13th, exactly two weeks away…..at the sugar maple:    wereworm with good night & good morning and making their debut in milwaukee moss folk (previously from grand rapids, recent arrival here in milwaukee).     very much looking forward to this show, should be an interesting & diverse grouping…….much like the five & dime show.    hopefully this is just the start of me booking/curating shows……….we’ll see.

there you have it…….another installment of the five & dime show.   hope you enjoyed it as much as i.

shopkeeper ken

i really hope that those of you inclined to do so (and some of you not so inclined, for that matter….) went to see the swans/sir richard bishop show on wednesday the 21st.    good gravy, what a spectacle.   easily made it’s way into the top five shows i have ever seen, just an incredible night.    at one point i realized that it was the loudest AND quietest show i’ve ever been to.    when they were full on, there was no way one could talk, and when they were quiet, i think people were so stunned with what they were hearing/experiencing, they finally showed the respect ALL bands deserve, and kept their mouths shut…….you literally could’ve heard a pin drop in turner hall.    incredible.

in other news, i will be featured later this week on the ‘get to know your wmse dj’s ‘ series on the official wmse blog ‘sonic diet’.    check it out for some further insight into what makes me…..well, me.

anyway, here’s the play list.    there was a hint of a theme in this installment of the five & dime show……there was a really bad forest fire up in the boundary waters in minnesota/canada earlier in the week before this show aired, and the wind/jet stream was in perfect position to bring particulates/ash & the fairly strong odor of smoke into the city of milwaukee & points beyond…..several hundred miles away for those of you not into geography.      very strange to be woken up by the smell of smoke, and then to drive to work across town only to still smell smoke……strange times.
