I agree with Greg. Ampersand SHOULD support all artists. But Ampersand should draw the line at talentless whores. (who are just marketing tools and not "artists") That being said, who's down for a little PCD?
I hate Fergie. I really do. I just felt that perhaps AMPERSAND should support all artists, not just the ones that I like. I did not want to force my personal likes/dislikes on the AMPERSAND myspace page.
Oh. I posted a NEW BLOGS arriving soon item on the AMPERSAND page awhile back, just rememered that. I hope folks were not holding their breath on that lil item. Obviously it was all a cruel cruel lie.
Jax, that is not my fault. Yes, Greg is responsible. No, sir, I don't like it. (Dear Fergie: I'll tell you what to do with your London Bridge, you insipid, dresses-herself-blindfolded whore.)
song had been deleted by artist!!
damn the artist who secretly deletes their songs without asking for our permission. who are you?? come on, show your faces! i want to know you are you damnit!
Not only do I hate people that panic at the disco, I also hate people that spam your message boards with little advertising schemes that really amount to nothing when you click on them!!! There is a special, warm campfire in hell...

What's the play about?
A visceral blend of classical mythology and real life stories told by street kids, Naomi lizuka's Polaroid Stories journeys into a dangerous world where myth-making fulfills a fierce need for transcendence, where storytelling has the power to transform a reality in which characters' lives are continually threatened, devalued and effaced. Not all the stories these characters tell are true; some are lies, wild yams, clever deceits, baroque fabrications. But whether or not a homeless kid invents an incredible history for himself isn't the point, explains diarist-of-the-street Jim Grimsley. "All these stories and lies add up to something like the truth." Inspired in part by Ovid's Metamorphoses, Iizuka's Polaroid Stories takes place on an abandoned pier on the outermost edge of a city, a way stop for dreamers, dealers and desperadoes, a no-man's land where runaways seek camaraderie, refuge and escape. Serpentine routes from the street to the heart characterize the interactions in this spellbinding tale of young people pushed to society's fringe. Informed, as well, by interviews with young prostitutes and street kids, Polaroid Stories conveys a whirlwind of psychic disturbance, confusion and longing. Like their mythic counterparts, these modem-day mortals are engulfed by needs that burn and consume. Their language mixes poetry and profanity, imbuing the play with lyricism and great theatrical force.
