Weekday events, 10/1-10/4:

The next few installments won't be as detailed as I'd like them to be (ticket links, ticket prices, etc.) because my day-ish job just got really busy.

You know, I was a GY!BE fan years ago in my churlish youth, but stopped listening to them (you grow up; you don't want to be depressed all the time; and shit gets old, you know?).  But I had this moment over the summer when I was driving across the barren plains of northern Colorado towards a run-down Days Inn in Laramie, it was 2am and I still had an hour to go, my traveling companions were all asleep, nothing but the occasional tractor-trailer on the highway. I looked at my Ipod and thought "Why not F#A# ?"  And it was incredible.  I probably will not listen to that album for another 10 years, but it was tailor-made for that particular lonely drive.

Wednesday 10/3:

• Interesting DIY show at El Paso, a taco place on Kirkwood Hwy.  Brick Mower from NJ, Come On Homewreckers (DE/Philly), The Headies (DE), and Psychic Teens (Philly). 7pm, all ages, $3. https://www.facebook.com/events/110081272473632/ (That scene is a little young for me, but I am so relieved to see kids putting on DIY punk shows in Delaware. This didn't happen when I was a kid here, and yet these kinds of shows were an influential part of growing up for every non-DE musician I know.  Gives me hope for the future of the music scene here).

During performances, he plays old Silvertone Archtop guitars, wears a full body cannonball man suit, and a helmet wired to a telephone which allows him to devote his hands and feet to guitar and drums.
