That's you, isn't it, Trudy? Singing along like a mofo?

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.
You should contact the photographer and try to get a print, Trudy.
That is indeed me, mofoing away.
He had been going around with the mic but at that point he stayed put for about half a verse. We were there for a while. I looked for pictures for a few days but then gave up.
Tom, you are brillant! I will absolutely do that.
Or you could just download it yourself.
Hmm...
I will probably download and THEN contact her about prints.
There is one other in that set of a good friend of mine getting lifted out. If its not too pricey I'd love to give it to her framed for Christmas.
The band that opened the Leathermouth/MSI show was called Tub Ring. And the blew. the. place. a. way.
I have never seen a crowd (especially one as hyped to see "their" band as Mindless fans get) take to an opening act like that before. And as far as I could tell even though they've toured with Mindless in the past nobody seemed to know who they were.
So, if you get the chance, go see Tub Ring. [link]
They're not just spectacle, they're pretty impressive musicans as well as being maniacs.

They have just one show coming up at the end of the month in Seattle.
Dec 28 2008 7:00P Home For The Horrordays@ El Corazon w/ Schoolyard Heroes Seattle, Washington
Curtis is pretty amazing (even if he does drink "whisky and diet". and I am forced to tell the bartender, "that drink is not mine, it's for this pussy") and I can't wait to see his main band.
I never was much of a horror movie fan, but I'll give them a shot.
Creature Feature
Oh! I loves Creature Feature!
I was hoping you did, Jilli!
I'll email you about the Curtis Rx conversation. He's adorable.
Totally totally totally go!!!!
I saw Amanda Fucking Palmer last night, and it was one of THE best shows I have ever been to in my life. The performance troupe that is with her (the Danger Ensemble) are amazing, and added a fantastic level of theatricality to her performance. It was just ...
waves hands excitedly
I have no words. It was brilliant, cathartic, and full of punk rock whimsy. I will go see her any time she comes to Seattle.
So are the Dresden Dolls kaput then? Or is this just a side outing?
Did you see the whole kerfuffle about her record label being unhappy with her video because she's got a soft round belly and shows it?
