I didn’t go.

I heard it was an awesome show. I decided to hang with my friends instead and go along with groupthink and that ended up in medicrocrity. The beginning of the evening was fun, watching a bunch of drunk girls dancing with each other at 500 Club. I tried to get the crew interested in this potentially amazing live show, a mere three blocks away, but they weren’t having it.

“I don’t like that loud shit”, was basically the response.

What did we do instead? drove all the way across town to Space Gallery to see a bunch of stupid laptop acts including a guy that used Atari sounds exclusively. With an MPC. Ooh! Aah! I’m so impressed. It was lame. Nice try.

So I thought we might be able to salvage the evening by hitting the Hemlock Tavern right next door. It’s usually a good venue, but sometimes on weekend nights they get these douchbags with label support that basically suck. This night it was the much written about Starfuckers. The only reason these people get written about is that they have publicity support. They’re lame. Trust me. This is not good music. They don’t have a good name. There’s nothing impressive or inspirational here. Maybe the local openers were good. Who knows. We got there too late.

Next time, I told my friend Matt, we’re doing it my way and going to Triclops! Now they’re on a European tour and won’t be back for awhile. And they’ll be jaded from that twatty Continent.

Long live American Rock N Roll!
