I got stupid. The money was too good.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Is it expensive because its some sort of teeny tiny venue?

Not teeny but not huge. I think their ticket prices are generally more in the $10-$12 range.

I'll check them out! (not at the show tonight though. i am a very tired old person who has to work tomorrow!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Tired and old is a bummer. True.

Of course, you'd probably be home by, what, ten thirty? Eleven? You could end up watching sitcoms that late...

(Sorry.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. I don't see many shows these days, and when I do, a major consideration is "will I be able to sit?"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My Bloody Valentine at the Austin Music Hall on April 21. Just bought my ticket. AW HELL YEAH!

Bring some quality earplugs. You won't regret it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Heh. I don't see many shows these days, and when I do, a major consideration is "will I be able to sit?"

One time Mom and I were trying to make plans for the weekend and we saw that Jerry Jeff Walker was going to be playing at the House of Blues. Mom called up to see if there would be seats available. The person on the phone said, no, it's just a big ballroom and mom said, "Well you better have a chair for Jerry Jeff- he's older than I am!"

Club shows around here start at 11, with the headliner coming on at around midnight. That`s my dealbreaker. Also, I no longer live stumbling distance from the main live club and getting a cab after midnight is a bitch.

I saw Bloc Party last fall, and seriously, I got most excited when they when on stage at 11. I turned to my friend and said in my happiest voice, "We`re going to get out of here by 12:30!!!!"

I'm seeing Bloc Party in two weeks! Did you enjoy their show?

I did! Even though we were way in the back attempting (unsuccessfully) to avoid the drunken masses. When I saw them they played a good mixture of old and new songs. I'd say I knew about half the songs, and I haven't heard their last two albums.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm really surprised by how fond I am of Seether's cover of "Careless Whisper." Good Lord.
