while a few of my friends were off watching the Ex and Shellac, feeling impacted, uplifted and that they were witnessing something of a significance we are rarely graced by these days, i was up the street watching the newest rotation in Bands of the Moment. i stand by APTBS but i'm putting my money on the Big Pink as total wankers. made my way to their awkward after-party on the upper level of Metro where the lights were full bore beaming down on some serious norms enjoying free pizza and MGD products while the dudes in BP dj'ed a set of Weezer and Jane's Addiction like they were really onto something that warranted their iced-out presence. yuck.
at least i got to eat some pizza in the company of this dude....

i think i invented a new white power gang while you were doing that.
ReplyDeleteI've tried many times to get into the Big Pink, but it never clicks. All these people I know that don't ever talk about music like that seem to like them, which leads me to believe I'm correct in not caring about them.
ReplyDeleteMatt...stay out of trouble.
ReplyDeleteStephen...I'm actually into that record more so than i thought i would be. it's pretty thoughtless and beats to death a formula that was laid out long before they even picked up guitars but it just works for me. lady gaga for some, big pink for me i guess.
Sara, I know that dude in the clown suit. He works on the floor right above me!
ReplyDeletehow did i breeze right past the fact that this dude is super tall and in all pink and at a BIG PINK show? kirk, is this guy quirky at all points or was this a special occasion?
ReplyDeleteThis dude was not "dressed up" by any means. He wears that same get-up, complete with pink hair to work at a LAW SCHOOL.
ReplyDeleteHe has been known to wear whatever color of clothing to match whatever color of hair he has.
Dead serious.
