god bless the three day weekend. god damn i forgot my camera.
friday night, rob and kate swung through town and we went to the high noon saloon to meet up with schlarb and check out screamin' cyn cyn and the pons, whom i'd never seen before. totally worth it. very entertaining band. sort of reminded me of boris the sprinkler, in terms of music and on-stage theatrics, minus the football helmet with antlers.
i also picked up the new album from kanye west. haven't listened to the album yet though, because i've been busy watching maria sharapova beat the skirt off of sania mirza.
[as an aside: CBS has some song that plays under their maria sharapova montage, which goes something like this: "maria sharapova / girl i'd like to know ya / you can stay at my place, if you need a place to crash / forehand backhand overhead smash" ... someone actually wrote and recorded that song? seriously? where's the sania mirza song? where's the ohio snap song?]
and now, here's the lineup of shows that i would like to see if i didn't actually have to wake up before 6am on most weekdays.
(of note: of montreal at club 770, tomorrow night)
(of second note: the annex is such a crap venue {crap website, too})
9/8 heiruspecs at the high noon saloon
9/14 brendan benson at the annex
9/25 clap your hands say yeah at the annex
versus
9/25 the perceptionists, akrobatik and mr. lif at the high noon saloon
9/27 lyrics born with the crest at the great dane
9/28 mates of state at the annex
notes:
1. of montreal at club 770, tomorrow night
2. the annex is such a crap venue
3. the crest's new album = hot shit.
4. the perceptionists with ak and lif? as in, they're both opening the show with solo sets? how's that work? shit who cares, i'm there. clap your hands say whaa doesn't stand a chance.
then i board a plane and head for NYC.

Dude, after the second time I heard that Maria Sharapova song, I looked around on the internet for a couple minutes trying to figure out what a-hole was a big enough loser to record it.
Found nothing. But I found a version of superkalifragilisticexpialadocious (or however you spell it) that went "SupermodeltennisstarMariaSharapova" etc. etc. etc. for like seven verses.
