We ventured over to Music Millennium on East Burnside yesterday to catch one of my music heros, Mike Doughty.  He was in town for a show last evening @ The Wonder Ballroom and graciously decided to perform a set for free for his biggest fans.  Mike was the lead singer of a great band in the 90s - Soul Coughing.  My friend Jon from New Orleans introduced them to me back around 1996 or so and I have listened to them ever since.  When Mike went off on his own, I stuck with it as his sound and lyrics keep me coming back.  With songs like 27 Jennifers, Bustin up a Starbucks and Janine (from the Soul Coughing days,) how can’t you.  I remember seeing Soul Coughing back in the day at Pine Street Theater.  We saw them on a Tuesday followd by Luscious Jackson on a Wednesday.  I miss those days of night after night of live music…  So, check out the vid of Mike performing Looking at the world from the bottom of the well.  Enjoy.
