Be there be there be there! MUDBOG!!!

What are you doing tonight? I have a suggestion: Go see The Live Ones at Trash, the Monstrosity formerly known as the Hideousness Toybox formerly known as the Heinousness Luxx. There's OPEN BAR from 8 to 10. Frankly, I'd attend an accounting conference if there was an open bar, and you know you would too. And besides, it's going to be an excellent show, as the sound system there is pretty damn good and the boys have a WHOLE BUNCH of new tunes. (I was actually planning on posting some mp3s off their new 9-song demo but it, like pretty much everything else in my apartment, is still packed away somewhere.* So maybe tomorrow or the next day I will.)

I am almost ashamed to admit that I was at Trash last Saturday night. They were doling out PBRs hand over fist at the open bar, which made me think, Dude, it's OPEN BAR, order a frickin' Heineken at least.

Question: Isn't the whole "white trash" theme *so* 2001? Isn't it time we moved onto some other disenfranchised socioeconomic group? My suggestion: Sierra Leone Child Warrior Refugees. I'm thinking generic white sneakers, too-short Rustler jeans, those off-market wildly patterned Caldor sweaters. Accessorize with a bible and amputated limbs. Don't tell me I'm not onto something here.

Actually, an unexpected highlight of the evening came in the form of Kid Casanova, who are all so frickin' cute I expect them to supplant the White Stripes** on M2 any day now. I liked 'em: They had a Jam/Clash/Buzzcocks/Elvis Costello sound. And a girl drummer who was very fun to watch.

Anyhow, so tonight, The Live Ones, at Trash. BE THERE!
*I'm going on Day 4 with my pants, as a matter of fact. And I DEFY any of my cow-orker motherfuckers to call me on it, biznatches.

**Are the White Stripes still popular? Will someone with cable TV weigh in? If not, just assume that White Stripes=variable_cute indieband.
