Bad Rock Haiku #30: Korby Lenker

Things that are jammy:
Some guns, some toes, puréed fruit,
And Bellingham bands.

Bad Rock Haiku #29: Metric

How do you hide it
Under such sultry music,
That robot heartbeat?

Bad Rock Haiku #28: "All-Star Tribute to The Who"

2005.10.28, assorted local rock stars at the Sunset

We're lit by encore,
Dud bombs fused with guitar wires,
Remembering when.

2005.10.28, at the Crocodile

That second show curse
Struck again.  Take Ballard's Who
As medicine men.

Bad Rock Haiku #26: Concentus Musicus Wien

2005.10.15, performing a German opera by Antonio Salieri at the Musikverein in Vienna

To champion this
Two hundred year old music,
Pray to white, cold God.

Bad Rock Haiku #25: The Dirty Three

Do not, even now.
(Drum and fiddle's rugged twine.)
Do not sing at all.

Bad Rock Haiku #24: The Frames

2005.10.04, at the Showbox

If the light goes down
And what's right goes right, the sound
And the light goes round.

Bad Rock Haiku #23: Fiery Furnaces

2005.10.03, at Neumo's

Fetching Eleanor,
Warbling the endless song
Using a cheat sheet.

Bad Rock Haiku #22: John Vanderslice

2005.10.01, at the Crocodile

Tiny telephone
Serenading a 4-track
Recording volumes.

Bad Rock Haiku #21: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

2005.09.29, at the Crocodile

Let's not mention them.
By "them", I mean Talking Heads.
Oh shit, I just did.
