I Made An American Squirm
Still not sure if the Paisley Haze won the Philly Rising event, but given the “talent” of the two other acts that Dad I stayed for, I think that they had more than a fighting chance…
Friday’s Free At Noon, Erin McKeown, was really really good…you should definitely check out her new album, Sing You Sinners…I hope I get to see her again sometime soon, especially because the picture of me and her band came out rather crappily (hardly Sarah’s fault…that room was very very dark)…Got a Dead Milkmen button, and a Repulsion button…soon my left side won’t be weighed down by all those pins I have clustered over there…
Went to Zern’s on Saturday, which was not that interesting…Matt Frederick (the bass player from NAPALM SUNDAY!!) came to visit…so did some other, more creepy people that I would rather banish from my memory…
Not that much else to be talking about…Willow Grove Mall disappointed me with its lack of things that I can use my gift certificate for…FYE didn’t even have All Things Must Pass…what kind of record store doesn’t have that??…Hot Topic also disappoints me with its lack of shirts of bands that I like, as well as the way it makes stupid shirts…for example, there was a great shirt with Andy Warhol on it in a funky halftone pattern (now I know why I like using that effect so much)…I was just about to buy it when I noticed that it said ‘Andy Warhol’ on it (though in a very stylized way, which is an admitted improvement over other designs that I have seen come out of the company)…let me put it to you this way…you know my Lou Reed shirt?…one of the reasons I love that shirt is because it doesn’t say ‘Lou Reed’ on it…either you know who it is or you go back under your rock…if you don’t immediately recognize Andy Warhol’s face, then why would you want to wear a shirt of it?…I can understand some instances where a band’s name might be appropriate to be featured alongside a picture of the band on a shirt, but in cases like that, it’s just ridiculous…people who don’t know who is on the shirt aren’t going to buy it, even if it does say who it is, and people who do know who it is on the shirt won’t want it because of my reason…what I’m trying to say is, Less, in fact, IS MORE…
I have the tripod here at Tambler, and am making new MySpace pictures like a fiend…a fiend with crazy PhotoShop skills…
Almost time to eat a pizza!

Lyric of the Time:
Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky
Ain’t the country lucky
New Jersey gives us glue
But you, you come from Rhode Island
little old Rhode Island is famous for you
