so, atlantians, chris simpson is bringing his band, zookeeper, to the earl on 26th. i think this is the third time i have mentioned zookeeper around these parts and with good reason. his recently released debut, becoming all things, is really excellent and without a doubt will crack the end o’ the year top 10. he brings zookeeper to chapel hill on the 27 @ local 506.
does anyone have any invites they would be share? you know what i am talkin bout.
btw, i think yesterday was captain’s deads 2 year anniversary. i really didnt think i would last 2 months. here’s to another two years, maybe.
if ya got a spare second, and lets be honest you do, head on over to berkeley place and take part in ekko’s best covers of the century survey for your chance to win fabulous prizes and shit.
hey guess what? this year’s plug award nominees have been posted and i wasnt nominated, again. not that i would ever expect to be in the same league as some of the “bloggers” nominated but a boy can dream. maybe if they ever come out with a c-list blogger award thingy, then just maybe.
ok, one last thing and probably most importantly. you probably know that there are a lot of people far worse off than you or i. maybe you dont and in that case, there are. so, with that in mind why dont you head over to labels are for jars, a project that conan obrien sits on the board of, and buy one of their shirts. each 20 buck shirt will feed a guest of the centre’s for a week. shit, i can, surely you can too, easily spend almost 20 bucks on one meal. all you really need to do is not order those last two la fin du monde’s, or 10 pbr’s, tomorrow evening and give. pretty simple concept. ok, off my pulpit.
have you all checked out the im not there soundtrack yet? its pretty freakin awesome and have to admit that chan’s take on “stuck inside of mobile..” is truly the highlight of the 2 disc spread. yeah, im biased but it is very cool. john doe’s “pressing on” is pretty righteous too.
tampa’s zillionaire reminds me of your friend’s friends really cool band. where at first you get asked to go to the show, and you really dont want to cause you just know its going to be hell. there’s going to be like 5 people there, its going to be awkward and you really just dont feel like dealing with that shit. there maybe chicks, thats the only real motivation here. wouldnt you know the first guy you see is some ass clown wearing an awesome/clever “beer is food” shirt and then you run across the dick that refuses to part with his bluetooth headset, and its not so bad that he’s still adorning the gadget but his has the blinding blue light that you can see from 100 yards away. order your beer, scan the joint and surprisingly there is a fair amount of decent lookin chicks around. night seems to be getting better if only the first band shut the hell up. wait around, bullshit with friends, still checkin out chicks, still no sign of hooking up with anyone and still drinking. fuckin finally, your buddies band goes on. did they really need to tune for a half hour? anyway, about two songs in you come to the realization that this is some pretty good shit as you start to do the white guy head bounce thing. you excuse yourself and slowly and methodically make your way to the front. still not hooking up or even attempting to talk to a girl, but in your mind you really dont need to to attract em. you stand off to the side near the front, in the attempt to not look too interested. still doing the head bobbing thing, though. there you stand and all is good. even if you dont get any. zillionaire’s kinda like that.
their new record the street lights have been turned down is out on 1.15.08

i found this fIREHOSE show on archive.org and figured i would share it with you peeps. there are a shitload of great shows that can be found on archive. the only issue that i have is that the quality is typically a little suspect. this is a nice sounding show, though, from belgium on 3.12.91
