On a marquee in front of something like an auto body shop on Banksville Road yesterday I saw the following:
Skilling got Layed
Expecting in 20 yrs
It doesn’t really make sense, yet I always think things like this are funny because they’re usually not actually funny at all, and not that clever, but there’s a certain novelty [...]
Old Time Relijun, turning fossil fuels back into dinosaurs, bringing the best show I’ve seen this year. (We’re at the halfway mark, is it time to start quantifying our cultural experiences yet?) Arrington does beautiful things with his voice, and I wanted more music (I don’t know how long they played, but it mustn’t have [...]
Apologies for my reticence of late. No time for writing when you’re doing. I was at Roboto three times this week, once for a show I set up, once for a show I played, and once for a show Emma’s band played. I am Robotoed to death. There are a great many things going on [...]
So, first of all, a reminder that the Old Time Relijun show is this Saturday, May 27, at AIR. It’s at like 7:30 and the lineup is: Natura Nasa – Midnite Snake – Old Time Relijun. It will be an amazing show.
Second of all, I’ve never seen an account of how to get to AIR [...]
My band is making love to your town tonight. 9:00pm, 369 E 15th Ave, Columbus, OH with Witch Hat and another band I’m blanking on right now but it’ll happen and it’ll be fun. Come out if you can.
I saw “The Pillowman” last night. It was pretty intense. I’ll have more to say about [...]
The weather the past few days has been more than vaguely reminiscent of last October/November when I trolled around doing nothing for a long time and listened to Broken Hearts Are Blue a lot and then got a job and was still kinda in a funk. It’s weird and kind of frustrating when you realize [...]
A few things:
- If you have a computer with sound and a few minutes, watch the video for the song “Fingerbangin’,” by a band from Philly called Sweatheart. The vid was made by Charlie’s roommate Ted, and the song features references to passenger side road head and the phrase “WOOF god damn!”
- There is a [...]
Hey all. Sorry for the delay — the last couple days were mighty busy and I didn’t get time to document them. Drat.
The Philly show was fun, even though 80 percent of the people left when we played. What counted was seeing friends and eating veggie crisps and playing with the dog. And those [...]
So, yesterday in Brooklyn at Northsix with a local band called Hoover Flags, a band called Know Your Enemy, and the Chinese Stars. It was a weird mix of bands, a weird mix of people, and awkward in that there was a really high stage that freaked me out a little. I grew tired of [...]
Last night was the Boston show, but I was dead tired and feeling under the weather when we got in after the show, and in the morning we didn’t have enough time before we shoved off for nine and a half hours of sitting in traffic between Boston and Delaware. The show at Great Scott [...]
