Morphine being one of my favorite bands and having been lucky enough to see them a few times, I am so looking forward to seeing this!

Some great comments by Josh Homme, Mike Watt and Les Claypool just in this clip ...

    Very much looking forward to this one. When I was in high school all my friends went to see them a couple times, but my mom wouldn't let me go to concerts at that age. I'm really bummed I never got to see them live.

    Excellent...can't wait to see this. They're screening it Friday night at the Somerville Theatre, so of course I'm away.

    A reminder if you find yourself in Boston...Dana and Jerome play together as the Ever Expanding Elastic Waste Band at Atwood's in Cambridge every Wednesday.

    Edit: Here's a link for tickets if you want to check this out Friday...

    Lovin' the love for Morphine.

    Whisper ... one of the sexiest songs ever written ...

    Feel free to listen to All Wrong but, if you go to the 3:45 mark and listen to Whisper ... just ... wow.

    I can still vividly remember seeing Morphine in March of '99 at a show in Tallahassee, FL where I just happened to be visiting my college roommate that week... we were both fans, in fact he turned me on to them, so it was a no-brainer to see the show. It was at a small club - the sound of that bass and the saxophone was immense in there.

    Not only was Mark Sandman a talented and innovative musician... what a voice that guy had.

    I'm going give Cure for Pain a spin right now.
