Paul was explaining music to the French citizens. "When we turn our amplifiers on," he said, "already cant is forming over some people's minds, like the brown crust on bread, or the silence that 'crusts over' inappropriate remarks. I think there ought to be, and remember I'm talking normatively here, I think what ought to obtain is a measure of audacity, an audacity component, such as turning your amplifier up a little louder than anybody else's, or using a fork to pick and strum, rather than a plectrum or the carefully calloused fingertips, or doing something with your elbow, I don't care what, I insist only that it be relevant, in a strange way, to the scene that has chosen to spread itself out before us, the theatre of our lives. And if you other gentlemen will come with me down to the quai, carrying your amplifiers in boxes, and not forgetting the trailing cords,which have to be 'plugged in' so that we can 'turn on' . . ."
- Donald Barthelme
Sorry your show got cancelled... but at least now you can come see me and George fumble our way through the classics of Blondie, The Pretenders and The Faces at Lovejoy's. Yeah, you know you wanna...
Best flyer ever! Just realised I won't be able to make the Trophy's show - final Promise Breakers trainwreck at Lovejoy's the same night. I'll be at the Carousel on Aug 1st though.
Summer time fun has begun. The Kids Are Alright Fest is Saturday at Emo's. Noon. All bands are 18 yrs and under. Bring your Posse 'cause the new stars will be out the whole day.
