Sounds like ity was a great show, Holli. We almost went, but I work late on Tuesdays and didn't want to ask for more time off.

Must see Rufus someday.

I think I'm the CD swap bottleneck. I received a package from erinaceous and was in the process of making a copy for msbelle when the door burst open and two jackbooted thugs--one male, one female--knocked me over and ripped the CD out of my computer. She tasered me while he graffitied my walls: "Dean Olsher sucks" and "The Next Big Thing is for subliterate morons" and "John Wayne's a fag" (the last eliciting a nasal "He is not!" from her, to which he responded, also nasally, "He is too, you boys! I went to Brentwood to install two-way mirrors and he came to the door in a dress." She roared with laughter, tasered me again and they did various scenes from Repo Man for the next fifteen minutes. They especially enjoyed the "What about our relationship?" scene, tasering me whether or not I gave the proper response, namely "Fuck that!"). They were disguised, but there was no mistaking the voices: I had just had my ass kicked by Ira Glass and Sarah Vowell. Who would want to admit to that? And I would have kept it quiet, but since I lost the CD along with my dignity and thereby screwed up the sacred Buffistamix flow I have decided to own up to my shame. Why should I be ashamed of getting caught in the crossfire of internecine PRI squabbling? I shouldn't... but getting one's assed kicked by Sarah Vowell is one thing, getting it kicked by Ira Glass is a whole 'nother level of embarassment.

bicyclops or tommyrot? did you receive the Angus and moonlit CDs?

I sent them to tommyrot in May, and he got them.

you lost them?!?! seriously?!?!

I knew that Ira was bad news.

I'm going to be the new keyboardist/noise guy/all-around johnny-on-the-spot for The Soft Set

Cool. We should form a union. You really ought to get a theremin, though.

I knew that Ira was bad news.

Bah. He's a wussy! I'm embarrassed to know Joe now.

DUDE!!! Michele, you are SOOOO next. Ass whupping TAL-style comin your way.

Yeah. Lane, in addition to being the far better singer, had a much more focussed artist within him. Too bad about the hard drugs.

Even before he started using hard drugs, Lane was still a jerk. Also, a jerk who would have sold not just his soul but the souls of his band mates to become the next Poison. Switching to hard drugs is what caused the band to switch sounds.

This is not even remotely surprising.

Cool. We should form a union. You really ought to get a theremin, though.

No kidding. I'd bet we could join SEIU after that, though.

Joe got his ass whupped by Ira Glass!

Msbelle, I'll take him AND David Rakoff with one hand tied behind my back!
