Here is something you will enjoy doing on tonight’s calm Wednesday night: attending a dj event tonight at W.C. Don’s, the legendary drinking establishment nestled quietly on Jackson’s finest (future) boulevard, Commerce Street.
Cousin Premier League will splash delicious fluids into plastic cups, all for you! Yes, he will even make you the newest Don’s taste sensation, a “Parking Lot”! For you at home, that’s 2 oz. vanilla vodka, 1.5 oz. sweet’n’sour, and a splash of gin!
***WE HAVE NO VANILLA VODKA***
Yes, it’s TERRIBLE. DJ gorjus will have at least seven of them as he stirs up that Goxxip – Big Star – X-Ray Spex – Tuff Luvs – Ghostface Killah – Prince – Pavement – Okkervil – Blake Babies breakdown.
And that sweet new National. OMG IZ SO GOOD &tc. OH, and the new Okkervil. And the new New Pornographers. BUT NOT that yucky Kanye stumble on “Young Folks”—have you heard it? It is muy terrible, as we say in Alabama.

Midlake rocks.
I missed it again. Because there was a dead bird. on my bed. (!) My dog seems to think he’s a cat.
If you were to make a cd with a playlist similar to this and snuggle it into my copy of your artifact, I would never ever tell a soul.
