last nite all l33t h@xX0rz rocked at at martin’s for matt suggs; songs: ohia (thankfully changing to magnolia electric company as of, i guess, nowish); the apes; and enon. total lie ad in the paper said “doors open at eight!!”, like the sonsofbitches ever close. problem being with going early is that all the creepy grown-up alcoholhics are still there.
half-drunk on pbr before suggs started i saw two dorky guys fighting over the fliers me & wes had made. “fucking rad” was uttered, and i was flattered: jason molina is a very nice guy—kind of like a shorter bill berry. by the end of the night all the bands had made off with the fliers, which is a total compliment for somebody who, you know, can only make fliers.
i gave into to apes love—they’re just so nice, and since i saw them first at mq about a year ago—over a year now, i guess—they’ve gotten fifty times better. sure, you don’t get the middle earth gimmick anymore: but you get a real band.
more info later, but let’s be honest: i got drunk, played pinball, and then bought a bunch of cd’s. new west wing tonite—gotta go!
sissy fave: death cab for cutie “the new year.”
Do you really still like the West Wing? Especially after the pretty mediocre 2001 season (remember the pandering, yet didactic 9/11 episode…blech!) and the lame “the president’s daughter is kidnapped” storyline? What has the West Wing become? Bad Dudes?!
Matt Suggs was great!! Just put two plugs in his head and—viola—he kind of looks like Frankenstein.
yes, he does!! a whole crowd of people gasped “david johansen, junior!” when he walked by.
big gray, you’re crazy!! i found the cliffhanger (and last nite’s episode) highly compelling and COMPLETELY realistic in light of our “president” having two drink’n’drug daughters. how easy to kidnap?
Dude…that story was straight out of fucking 8-bit Nintendo shit.
