Dan, I think I’m the only one getting out at 3, if it makes you feel better.

yeah i’m here till 6 pm yo

oh god don’t bring up taxes

ALLY IT DOES NOT

aw cuet, TMC! also after our conversation on saketini night i went back and relistened and sorry dude but some girls wander by mistake pwns all.

4 p.m. = drinkytime!

Our office normally gets dismissed around 3 before holidays, but I’m not sure how it’s going to play out this week with the other late openings/early closings this week due to weather madness.

hooray drinky time!!

no ZR I am pretty sure it is still Floodland, but Eldritch is a bro either way. FA’s should totally do a SoM homage.

As far as Some Girls..., man, you just cannot fuck with “Adrenochrome”.

goddamn it i love the black lips so much

^^^^^^ !!!!

Perhaps Some Girls Wander By Mistake would keep me from bloodily murdering myself right now. ARGH ARGH.

DISC THREE OF THE VU QUINE TAPES SO SO SO GRATE

YES I WOULD LIKE 11 MINUTES OF SUPER CHILLED-OUT WAITING FOR THE MAN THANK YOU LOU AND DOUG AND MO AND STEAMBOAT CAPTAIN STERLING MORRISON

*snooze*

all of you guys are otm, except snoozy mcque, quine tapes rule your life. and yeah brian the “body electric/adrenochrome” thing is still one of my fave rex ever.

all of you need to listen to Fatman by the IM right now

whoa im with mr que—i really dont like the quine tapes, although i LOVE the idea of 34-minute sister rays

guys I really think today is going to rule for music for all of us.

MW normally I am also all *snooze* about all these music conversations, except that today everyone but you is OTM

goddamn it i love the black lips so much
— 69 (plsmit...) (webmail), Today 4:37 PM. (pete) (later) (link)

pete, seriously, you need to come to chicago for an extended stay.

I doubt today is going to rule for music for me because I’m not allowed to have any, but I will say I did hear back finally about my phoner interview and it was thumbs up all round, now just waiting on PM to get back to subcontractor so an offer can be made.

also I get to work tomorrow all day again! uff FUCK da

don’t get me wrong though, i love the Guess I’m Falling In Love and Some Kinda Love and the Satellite of Love from the Box set.

that black lips live album should be out soon too?

i’ve been rockin this version of “i found a reason” which is set to the music from “these days,” and this AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME speedfreak jam on “run run run” that’s like 9 minutes long and also a 10-min “foggy notion” from the la cave cleveland 68 bootleg and man live velvets are like the best ever.

i’ll send you that live black lips right now mr. que

oh wait there is something beautiful, zipped and mysterious in my email account!

pete just sent it to me! thanks bro!

xp—e-crotch

I want to start a record label called BULLSHIT WANKERS

guys I actually like the U2 cover of “Satellite of Love”

are you chewing big red right now?

LOL otm i’m gonna go get some after work

they should make a new version of Big Red that just says “FUCK YOU” on the package.

no I think it needs #@!* instead, because the bleep in the movie is +hawhaws

bleeps are never as funny when written. Well, BOXCAR! excepted.

I saw Europe on Valentines Day, they were great. Sang along to Carrie, Rock the Night, Cherokee, and The Final Countdown. Seriously, they are better than IKEA and ABBA.

^^^^^^^ this dude had a better week than any of us

TRUE

OTM, but I think he’s underrating IKEA and ABBA.

This is true, it’s one of those freshest-in-your-memories type of hyperboles that we all fall victim to occasionally.

Dudes, I am so fucking tired of studying, its hilarious.

Fuck a contract, fuck consideration, fuck a duty owed by a possessor of land to an undiscovered trespasser, fuck Van Camp accounting, fuck the statement against interest exception to the hearsay rule, fuck adverse possession, fuck the Supreme Court, and fuck promissory estoppel.

Ugh. Alright. Back to studying.

awww that sucks. fuck all that stuff but the Supreme Court!

Have you checked the membership of the court recently? Fuck them. Sc@1ia can go to hell and take his waddle with him.

Yeah but I like the nu chief, seems more collegal than the old one. At least Sc@lia isn’t chief, and he has personality, which is more than I can say for Sout3r

Happy three-day weekend everyone (except for tombot—that sucks that you have to work but yay new jobbie prospect!).

I am home sick. It is either TB or bird flu. But hopefully it will be gone by Sunday so that I can do FAs in NoVa!

xpost—just making sure the supreme court justices dont google into this thread, guys?

dude you can never be too careful! that Justice K3nn3dy is a media whore!

I was wondering about that myself.

q, you probably have the flu :( If it is like what I have, it will come and go for a bit and you will have to live entirely on DayQuil & NyQuil for about a week.

YES the coming-and-going bit is characteristic of this bug—MW had it off and on for over a week!

And random symptoms too—like, first, I kept losing my voice. Then, I had FIRETHROAT for 3 days, but didn’t too much lose my voice. Then it was coughing, which exacerbated FIRETHROAT. But now FIRETHROAT has left the building, been replaced by SINUSMONSTER. It’s like, wtf, pick one symptom and stick to it.

I am also still home sick with a cough & sinus headache. What can i do? :(

ok, at least I know I’m not being a wuss by staying in all week.. i had a bad sore throat that sort of started to get better but now it’s sinus headache & still somewhat of a sore throat. not real severe but annoying enough & makes me really tired..

I am also still home sick with a cough & sinus headache. What can i do? :(

come drink w/us!

^^^^^ my plan for good health!

it’s worked pretty well for me the last few months

ZR and ally otm!

i will be free at 6 to drink beers and see you cool people

oh also i think $girl might show at some point if that’s kool

i guess i’m out then ;_;

ok i am actually really impressed at the speed with which you found that

yeah well he is a blogger

why am i watching this stupid fucking joe rogan/carlos mencia thing? I HATE BOTH OF THESE MEN SO MUCH

why am i getting so mad at gabbneb’s stack of money on maria’s thread

I would kill myself, over watching something starring those two men

(xpost) because it really misses the point?

dear MW

plz to read “KILLFILES HOW TO”

hearts,

ally

i mean anything that makes me respect joe rogan more makes me respect myself less

dear ally,

i don’t have firefox at work, and can’t install it, but thanks.

beers and cat baseball,

sad mw ;_;

dear MW,

that is the saddest story I’ve ever heard besides the Scott Norwood story ;_;

c u 4 beerz,

me!!

I was too embarrassed to put Norwood on the alumni list of the “brag about your HS” thread ;_;

Most tragic man who ever lived. ;_;

He returned to Northern Virginia, where he still lives today, in South Riding, and became a realtor. He is married, and has three children, Carly, Connor, and Cory. Norwood coaches Carly’s soccer team.

Oh how the other soccer teams must heckle on penalty kicks.

I can’t imagine a worse thing to have happen to you then going from being an NFL player in the Super Bowl to being a realtor in NoVa.

i’ve been resisting starting a “WHY were you born” thread for two days now

why have you resisted? great idea.

because you’d get some fucking retarded answers to that question with some of these people.

i mean it’s a great question, and i ask it a lot personally, but i don’t care to hear some of these people opine on it, because frankly there is no good answer to that question in some cases.

so is the black cat the only decent venue in dc?

it’s like in some cases you could come up with a pretty entertaining meta answer or some kind of satirical twist on the anthropic principal but those jokes only work once and plus the people I’m thinking of who would have to resort to such flailing attempts at self-justification wouldn’t be clever enough to do so and would probably just post “to test yr patience obv hur hur” thus KILLFILES

kevin: no not really.

rock and roll hotel, velvet lounge, red and the black, couple private house venues, warehouse next door all have good stuff sometimes

ok. thanks.

xpost- warehouse next door i think booked some punk/hardcore friends of mine?

For guitar bands playing to 150–800 person crowds, Black Cat should be the #1 choice of any touring band coming through DC.

i’m just looking to see where bands i’d want to see might play. i just entered my leave for my trip to nyc next month and realized i still have over 5 weeks of annual leave left so i want to burn through some. rather than go somewhere i’ve been recently or always go (bos/nyc/mem/sd) i thought i might try somewhere new.

DUDE COME TO DC WE WILL HANG TOUGH

also brian otm

black lips/ponys are here in april, kevin tho i’m sure you’ve seen em a million times

yes come to DC, I will go to all of these black cats.

there are a bunch of venues (mostly mentioned by 69) that are good for individual shows, Black Cat definitely has the densest/most reliable schedule. Also check Galaxy Hut (ESPECIALLY this sunday) and DC9.

For guitar bands playing to 150–800 person crowds, Black Cat should be the #1 choice of any touring band coming through DC.

i can’t remember the last time i was at a show with more than 300–350 people.

xpost- i’m trying to get to boston for the blips/ponys/turpentine brothers show! two of the ponys are friends of mine and my friend matt is on tour with them. they’ll be back in chicago when i’m in nyc. are they playing dc on a weekend?

what time y’all playin FA’s on Sunday? I may be able to cab it UPTOWN UPTOWN to GH after Shakespeare crap.

sorry not april i’m stupid

SAT MAR 24- THE PONYS, THE BLACK LIPS, PANTHERS $10 Adv/ $12 DOS mainstage 9:00

A this point it’s a built-in-crowd/staff/location issue, as a lineup that would draw 200 at the rock&roll hotel would draw 400 at the black cat.

I know this really has nothing to do with which venues you should check out, kevin, but I think it’s interesting.

Hey I will be back in town by March 24, you should come then!!

uh i don’t know, we’re on 2nd so like 10:30 or so i wanna say?

dude totally come in for the blips ponys show
