Tom Waits and Old 97s Notes

Tom Waits plays on Conan O'Brien this Friday.

Old 97's return to Greune Hall on Saturday, May 12. Also, word is they are in the studio in Big D working on a new album.

Old 97s Notes

First, Murry’s a dad. Second, Calvin, my friend Russ’ dog, almost bit off the man parts of one Philip Peeples (left), Old 97s drummer. Seems Philip showed up early for a party at Russ’ and when little Calvin decided on an extra friendly greeting. Bad dog!

Rhett Miller Update

A little blurb on Rhett Miller from some California paper. Evidently his label tanked and his latest record is pretty much nowhere. But he keeps moving forward. I feel bad for him. You put him and David Garza in the same room and you will have some harrowing tales of record label woe.
