NEW YORK - PLEASE DON'T KILL DAVID YOW, GOD

Well, this blows. We were all jazzed up to tell you about David Yow's show with Miracle Condition tonight/last night in Brooklyn, but now all we've got is bad news and a couple photos of that dude from US Maple's goofy fucking guitar stance. Evidently David was taken to the hospital a few hours ago with a collapsed lung. That's all anybody knows right now, but we're sure there'll be some news by morning and probably a solicitation from some money at some point, so keep checking back here for updates. For the time being, here's our favorite live clip of Yow with the Jesus Lizard (besides the one where he gets clocked with the bottle, and the other one where he catches the bottle in mid-air without even looking at it)...

One of the last great frontmen. And yes the bottle to the head clip is tits. Funny you don't see any comments from the Do's and Don'ts peanut gallery. May Mr. Yow live on to do many more penis tricks.

Mark Shippy can do whatever he wants with his guitar stance – dude is amazing. I saw Miracle Condition's Saturday night set at Glasslands in Brooklyn, sans Yow, and it was great. Quite a departure from US Maple. check 'm out. www.myspace.com/miraclecondition

With the amount of energy and enthusiasmxx mista Yow's inflicted on his audience and himself over the years, it's amazing he's been injured as few times as he has been.. as to his current medical woes however, here's hoping his recovery is both speedy and complete; also, the same wellwishing should apply to Matt Cronk in regards to his own hospital stay.
