Michael Moore Bought me a beer. . .
and he really did, and the show we saw was awesome..
got there a bit alte for membership appreciation night at the starlight room
so i missed the first band.. (i'll get back to them)
but the band that was playing when we came in was kick ass
and who wouldn't be with a name like
Helper Monkey, mark bought a shirt, and they rocked our socks clean off!
the headliner for the evening was the
Groovie Ghoulies, all i need to say, is that they started their set out with a cover of Daniel Johnstons "Devil Town" and it was kick ass, but then they continued to rock the fucking house.. could we ask for more? i doubt it.
okay back to the begining, the band we missed was the
Dollyrots, the chick who fronts the band was working the merch table.. i was the only person who signed up for the mailing list.. i felt so bad i signed up twice.. and was then rewarded with two free pins, and a sticker.. (although i lost the sticker at O'Byrnes...) i also opted to pick up the record.. on yellow vinyl..
let me just say this, i was more intent on digging the album then anything else.. and back at my place all that transpired was listening to the record, 3 times, it reminds me of the ramones, bikini kill and early donna's all rolled into one..
i guess they were recently signed to lookout records.. i doubt they can do for the label what Green Day or Op Ivy did, but i think its a good star in kickign ass and making people remember why we all fell in love with SoCal punk in the early 90's to begin with ...
so once again, thanks for the beer Mr. Moore
la la la la
so once again i've fallen in love,
this time with the polyphonic spree
really i loved them before
then forgot about our love... quite humerous
i had an urge to play some tripping daisy today
and i was listening to it, i began to wonder what ever happened to Tim.
then i remembered.. the polyphonic spree ...
and suddenly they made a whole lot more sence..
really they are a natural progression of what tripping daisy
is/was ..
i never did get to see tripping daisy live..
and they pretty much disapeared from most people's lives
just before "jesus hits like an atom bomb" came out..
and i haven;t even heard the slef titled album that they closed
the band with.. i'll track it down eventually though
the polyphonic spree however, i saw open for david bowie last year
and it felt like a gigantic loving cult of musicians, so much love..
so good as well..
did i mention i don't have a point today at all?
i didn't know that bootlegs counted
so anyways every now and again i like to search for stuff i have done in the past.. akin to how mark searches for everyones name to see what he can find... anyways, i digress i came across a list over @
rateyourmusic that i found mostly halarious, and true.. but number 71 stood out a little, since as far as i know, i'm the only person with an existing copy... check it out
also it is rated from 100 to 1, just posted in reverse... thanks to H.J. for pointing it out...
