for those of you going to your 1st SXSW this year....

First off, screw you cuz I didn't get to go this year. Secondly, have a good time. Don't bother trying to see all the bands you wanna see cuz it's impossible. Just pick a showcase every night and stay there. Its easier. Also don't worry about bringing drugs, you'll find some. Try and go to as many parties and free shit during the day as you can cuz they will have free booze and food. Also DO NOT WEAR YOUR BADGE AROUND YOUR NECK. This makes you a dork. Tuck that shit into your back pocket and only flash it when you have to. And finally you are basically at spring break for indie rock nerds...this means you will be able to get hella laid if you have even the slightest bit of game. Good luck and have fun.

oh yeah and go see my friends Ruby Isle if you get a chance. And tell em I sent you.

a quick thought on black metal

when Ozzy and Satan invented Metal i don’t think they were thinking a bunch of Dungeons and Dragons dorks in Sweden or wherethefuckevercountrynoonecaresabout would decide to dress up like gay-KISS/ pretend-Vikings and murder each other. Metal is about how many chicks you can fuck and how much cocaine and booze it takes to kill you, didn’t you get the memo?

poseurs ruin everything.

thought of the day

i think the reason most bands write songs about teenage girls is because the word teen rhymes with lots of things. also guys in rock bands are perverts.

these Guitar Amps both suck big moose!

i used to have a t shirt in highschool with this design on it along with about 10 other Sonic Youth t-shirts (seriously i had at least 10 SY tees), but this was by far my favorite. unfortunately this falls into the category of SHIT MY MOM THREW AWAY CUZ SHE’S A MOM.

She's lost...Bye Bye Bye

i'm feeling dream-popish today.
