"...David Bowie fronting the Turtles, Prince playing at the ruins of Pompeii with Pink Floyd as his backup band, or a boisterously raging pizza party where Ray Davies, Colin Blunstone, George Clinton, Donovan, John Fahey, Sun Ra, Frank Zappa, Brian and Carl Wilson, Damon Albarn, Al Green, Dee Dee Ramone, Van Dyke Parks, Shawn Kemp, Will Oldham, Marc Bolan, Don Van Vliet, and Snuffleupagus are all watching Magical Mystery Tour on VHS while listening to Olivia Tremor Control’s Black Foliage to see if the two synchronize when being played at the same time." - Jared Cheek

Hey guys, been a long while. Just stoppin' by 'cause I saw that you'll be rockin' Chicago this week. Have a great show, wish I could be there, but, alas, I'm still wandering the island of Japan. Great, great tunes! Peace. (Steve from Midstates)
It looks like it might rain on Saturday so here's the game plan, at noon on saturday we'll post a bulletin saying wether we're going to go for it or reschedule so be sure to check back and hope for the best!
I posted a funny dirty joke about Hillary Clinton, but I decided to erase it because my mom looks at our myspace sometimes.
But no, no I wasn't at Hilldog's Indiana speech. I don't support the Clintonian regime.
Obama Oeight.
