It's Smithereens Day!
I'm going to see the Smithereens tonight at the State Theater in Falls Church. Accordingly, here's a fairly recent clip of them doing Room Without a View, at a club in Austin. Austin makes me think of this place. (I'll try to be home fairly early, so as not to clog up the roads for out of towners here for the inauguration.)

Wednesday Video: It's Smithereens Week In Washington!
The next week is a big one for the Smithereens, as they get ready for the release next Tuesday of Meet the Smithereens, a Beatles tribute recording. On Friday, they'll be at the State Theatre in Falls Church, as will I, where they'll be playing the whole disk (12 songs, 28 minutes, is what the Beatles' version was), as well as the usual Smithereens rockage, probably including this, Blood and Roses , from their first album Especially for You, which came out in, gulp, 1986, and was produced by the great Don Dixon, who I mention because he does that great song, Praying Mantis, that's been running through my head now for about 20 years.
See you Friday.
