Why didn't you come to the True Widow show in BR, poseur?

[Ryan Funch]

Man, I hate the Black Lips. Listened to Mitch listening to that on the way up to Poughkeepsie yesterday. Wretched.

Best new bands:
Antidote 8
Ecco 3

Thou will now be called Catscan 8.

I was in Michigan all weekend. I missed all those good shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and missed the bookfair. I was at a conference for co-ops and collectives in Ann Arbor, and also visited Detroit. It was a great trip by I'm bummed I missed all that stuff.

I also don't like the Black Lips - I saw them with Quintron on Lundi Gras this past year, and they were SO BORING. All that nu-garage stuff all kinda sounds the same to me (except The Reatards). I heard Black Lips were supposed to put on this crazy live show, but they just stood around. OVER IT.
