Lifesavas are bad-ass.

Not to mention the Decemberists.

Excellent.

I would say yes, because it's at a gallery of some kind. But I would also say no because they say they have a bar...

the battle between the decemberists and the long winters will only be entertaining if they fight West Side Story style.

When you're a Winter, you know it's for keeps
From your first wake up call until your final sleeps!
When you're a Winter, the folks always know
You're in through the sleet and in through the snow!

There was a band, as far as I know unsigned, from North Carolina called Faustina. They were somewhere on a line stretching between Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders. Did a lovely cover of "Stay Cool, Boy."

More bands should do versions of that song. Oh, yes.

Got a rocket in your pocket... stay coolie cool, boy!
Don't go off like some yo-yo schooool boy!
No, you gotta stay cool!

not sure how to take that....

it's not that i don't support all ages shows, i do, i'm all for them. i just prefer not to go to them.
know why???? cuz i'm a few months away from THIRTY! yes, that's right, i'm almost thirty. when i started getting into my later 20's i no longer felt comfortable at all ages shows. makes me feel old and out of place.
and it being new year's eve and all, i would prefer it not to be spent around kids that i am possibly 15 years older than. and i would like to ring in the new year w/a real drink as opposed to one that pretends to be a real drink, like bubbling cider.

just you wait, that feeling gets even worse when you're over thirty...so like you, i eschew the all ages show.

God, why has no one named an album after that?

The inflection makes me swoon.

Because the Gym's neutral territory.

Oh well, I've seen them so many times that I've begun to feel spoiled. I probably couldn't afford to go anyways, but I really wanted to see them duke it out with The Decembrists.
