- This week’s paper (finally) featured my review of Phil Boyd’s new Hidden Twin record.
- Next week’s paper will have my words on Horseback (the solo-ish project of Jenks Miller, who, in the Chapel Hill Family Tree, is one degree from both Heather (they are in Un Deux Trois together) and Emilyfriend’s man-friend Aaron (they are in In the Year Of the Pig together and in fact Aaron will be with Horseback on tour) and Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, another one-dude project that you may already know. I feel a little weird because these previews are some of the most positive and nearly fanboyish I’ve written, but they both happen to be acts that I think are absolutely at the top of their given game. Horseback plays Roboto on Wednesday the 14th; Casiotone plays Garfield Artworks Saturday the 10th. Both are recommended.
- You may remember my ill-attended show for Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen a few months ago; he returns with his current band, The Low Budgets, at Howler’s on Sunday night (the 4th).
- OH YES I AM DOING THIS SHOW NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT! The 7th! For Slingshot Dakota and Flotilla Way and Branches! It’s at Roboto and will be fun so come and have happy times. These are cute bands.
i’ve gotta say that in my imaginary “tiger beat!” (edited thrice over in the depths of my mind), owen ashworth is so on the cover. but not the main picture* - he’s in one of the sidebar pictures, with a caption that says something like “owen rescues animals from cops!” - small quote - “i just think puppies have a right to go vegan…”.
*cindy wonderful is on the cover, complete with the repulsive shaved eyebrows with the caption - WHAT MAKES CINDY SO HOTTT?.
and “HOTTT” is in flaming pink letters. and the whole background is regular fire flames.
I’m actually not okay with you calling another friend a ________friend. Yea, guilty, I’m jealous. It’s just that you are my andyfriend and I am your elainafriend, and, well, you know..
SORRY habit whoops. I retract above classification as Emilyfriend and will in the future use a term such as:
- Emilove (maybe too close to Em Love, a different Emily altogether, though)
- EmilyBuddy
- Lil’ Ol’ Emily
- Em*l*
