Meg and I went to see Glen Phillips in concert at the Triple Door. He’s always fun to watch. He said he didn’t have any “scintillating anecdotes to lead into the next song, making it all the more poignant,” but he seemed to have a lot to say anyway. Mainly really weird things like creating easily defensible post-apocalyptic villages in big-box stores like Fred Meyer and Costco and sending out raiding parties to ransack the Wal-Mart villages. Uh-huh. His opener was Jonathan Kingham, whom I hadn’t heard of but will definitely check out now. And I can’t wait for the album (tentatively called Fragments) Glen’s putting out with Sean and Sarah Watkins and a bunch of other folks. Hooray!
