For a while there, I used to write a haiku every morning for CP's Twitter. Then I realized that I was wasting a lot of time on that, so I stopped. But I still like to engage the form sometimes — thus, some quick reviews of artists I've seen recently:
Shotgun Jimmie, Club Cafe, March 16
Samson's guitarist
was like a stand-up comic
with some decent tunes
John K. Samson, Club Cafe, March 16
Existential angst
and songs of growing-up, plus
talk about hockey
Kid Brother, Club Cafe, March 24
Heartfelt solo tunes
from Ben from Ursa Major;
talk of dental work
Jeffrey Lewis, Club Cafe, March 24
Genius songwriter
sang the illustrated tale
of Pocahontas
Doldrums, Andy Warhol Museum, March 28
Samples and synth sounds,
more Canadian banter,
charming and naive
Bear In Heaven, Andy Warhol Museum, March 28
After the show ends,
many in a daze talk of
Joe's whirlwind drumming
