Hey where do you think you're going, don't you walk away from me
you put down that telephone, you're not calling anyone


I came close to posting that entire song. Dave Bazan is pretty good.

News, news, news. Yay.

-Yeah, I'm 24 now. I received a lot of Saved by the Bell, and a present saluting my twenty years of commitment to the Transformers. Have been reading some of this, will soon watch this, and will soon school Masta Scialdeezee at this.

-It was up in the air, but we are definitely playing saturday in Boone, with the Rachel Nevadas...and two metal bands.

-Jon from Six Days and a Grrl in Your Face has the band's site up and running now.

-Listening to Epitonic radio has reminded me of something I almost, sadly, forgot. Don Caballero. We got to see them the other night (or as John Boles put it, "what's left of them), as part of my extended birthday festivities. Damon Che, drummer, the story of whom can be read here, is big, scary, a complete bad ass drummer who rides the double kick like he hasn't got a chioce, really, to the point where the kick just sounds like this one constant overriding tone, and he happened to be extremly sick. Took off his pants before they played. Took off his shirt with one more left. Hairy. Sweaty. Asked questions, made comments along the way, "are these my hands? 'cause I can't get the bugs off me," "I can't see my nose." Geez, Epitonic is psychic, Don Cab just came on. Strange show. Also saw Continent. It's hard to do math. Harder to do it really fast. Incredibly hard to do it faster than fast. These guys are, needless to say, pretty damn talented.

-Guess that's it, some of us resting for "tour," some not, some doing other things, the end.
