Total Relapse of the Flu

[captqitn]

are the leels on any of the 300 showcases?  will there be a screw music forever symposium?


somebody would have to pay my way in order for me to endure that level of music biz backslapping.

make me feel like chump, why dont you?

Can someone explain what a "Montclair Moment" is? Apparently it is from a Montclair cigarette commercial... but we don't have tobacco ads up here, eh?

[regular tom]

aw baby, it ain't like that.  c'mon now, dry your eyes.

i like that austin town.  a lot.  and i do enjoy the live music.  a lot.  but the thought of the SXSW scene turns my tummy.

are you going down with any of your various affiliations?

[captqitn]

yeah.. i'm actually with you.. i've been avoiding sxsw and cmj for years.  They suck ballz.

but.. our (leels) label is based in austin and he works for sxsw, so I thought perhaps we'd get on a decent bill at least.  Think our buddies down there are setting up a house party too, so, eh.

Megan Reilly is playing too.  So that'll just about cover the ticket.

[captqitn]

Which is not to imply that I'm not a chump.


...just saying, is all.

..not for nothin..

[regular tom]

speaking of chumps, one of my friends back in columbus mentioned to me last week that he had read something aboot an Urge Overkill reunion show or two.  this put them back into my mind and so i keep hearing "The Kids Are Insane" from Supersonic Storybook in my noggin (i still love that record, but yow what a quick swirl down the drain they took), and when i went looking for online evidence of said reunion tour just now i found this hilarious page of postings.

enjoy!

Ok, tonight, I am going to see a friend play at the Casa Del Popolo: he's a solo guitar guy, he loops and does weird stuff with his guitar, very spaced out, very ambient, with more pedals than I have hair.  He's opening for a local bad post-rock band called Destroy all Dreamers.
