Charlie At The BREWHOUSE

Went on down to Fitgers in Duluth last night for the Wednesday Night Bracer... featuring Mr. Charlie Parr... it was freakin' PACKED YO!

I showed up at 9... grabbed a Witchtree ESB and waited... No Charlie... no friends... just a whole shitload of folks eatin' and drinkin... 10 minutes later in walks Knasty... and two steps ahead of him was two of my co-workers that I really like... it was strange... so we all hung out... drank beer and then Mr. Sky Davey shows up on the scene... (he's living out in Grand Forks... but somehow... someway... he shows up last night) I worked with him back about 5 years ago... great dude... so it was a fateful night... oh, and Charlie did indeed show up and he started rockin' it with a dude playing harp and another on the washboard...

We drank many more beers and hooped it up in the Brewhouse... packed to the gills... rockin'... GREAT time.

Got a few pics and a short, short vid that is really crappy but you kind almost make some stuff out....

Song of the Week... From a Swedish Spaniard...

Hey party people...
Didn't make it down for the big Christmas Celebration at the Schoenrock's joint... winter snow/ice/rain/wind put a damper on that... wish we were there but I trust it all went off without us...
Anyway, not much new here... just diggin out from the, now CRUSTY, snowjob we received.

Thought I'd post a new song of the week... and I'm going with Jose Gonzalez's "Crosses". The guy is actually from Sweden... and with a name like Jose Gonzalez... wow!
Anyway... if you did "Crosses", check out "Killing for Love" as well... almost posted that instead... but "Crosses" is my favorite Jose tune...

Peace to all you folks....

The Winter Adventure

Hey party people...
I've set up another blog... called Circle of Songs.
Concept: 4 dudes...(but anyone is welcome to join). One picks a tune that everyone else has to learn within a couple weeks and then post their version of it...
So I kicked off the first tune... since I was the genius who thought of this.... I went with the classic Band tune.. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down...
If you care to tune in to the Circle... here is the link....

Song Of The Week

The song of the week via YouTube...

This week... The Avett Bros rockin' St. Josephs in a FREAKIN' gondola in Jackson Hole, WY... who does that??? The Avett bros... that's who... love the tune too...
Anyway... check it...

Official Tomten Website.... WHAT??

Hey folks... I've been extremely lazy 'bout the blog... mostly cuz we've been doin' a whole lot of nothing exciting... any my dumb dog chewed up my camera cord and I haven't gotten a new one yet... keep forgetting...

BUT....

I do have a small tidbit of news... I've worked up a dingwopped website for Tomten.... I've got lots of goodies on there... the best of which is a tune from each artist that played that night.... well, except Sid because I didn't have a picture.... don't worry Sid... you'll be on there... someday this cold winter....

Anyway... here is where you can find the site.... http://www.tomten.x10hosting.com/

Check it out and let me know what you think... and if you think it's horseshit, I want to know that too.... you won't hurt my feelings....
Suggestions, comments, questions... I'd love to hear em.

Ciao.
*UPDATE* I opened the site at work and I was greeted to all the tunes playing at once... now if I wasn't at work but at home with a few dingers in me, I would have thought the convergence was something special... but it really wasn't.
So, if you have the same problem I had... just go in to the Tomten Sights and Sounds tab and you'll have to pause all the tunes... not sure why that is happening.. probably has something to do with the fact its FREE WEB HOSTING! DOINK!
