end of summer weekend recap

... epic weekend. i needed it.

Friday: Bob Pollard art show extravaganza (thanks Rob and Lesley!), then amazing Starring show at Death By Audio, then party with The Cinnamon Band brothers .

Saturday: Life breakfast. lazy sunny hang in the park with Amey, drooling at Main Drag, Snacky fried rice, played the funnest show ever at Dead Herring with Violent Soho, Unnatural Helpers, and Bare Wires. *mosh pit*. then partied with TCB until the sun came up. Neil pukes on Graham Ave.

Sunday: brunch reunion with our man Benoit (back in town from Paris), then Amey's *incredible* Enchiladas del Mar dinner party with Michael. i guess we can sleep when we're dead.

this summer was turbulent but good.

happy and grateful to be able to give it a proper send-off with this epic weekend.

------> ON TO THE FUTURE !

WEEKEND WARMUP - GBV! GBV! GBV!

WEEKEND WARMUP - I'm in love with that song

so, Library playing with Oneida tonight.

off to Pennsyvania tomorrow for a quick trip to visit my Gram. i made a couple o' batches of my famous brownies for her and her pals. i made a mix CD of Big Star jams for the car ride.

speaking of Big Star, i leave you with this tune. one of my all-time favorite songs, and the best tribute to Alex Chilton ever made.



If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love. What's that song?I'm in love with that song."

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.

I never travel far, without a little Big Star

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round
They sing "I'm in love. What's that song?
I'm in love with that song."

'Alex Chilton' by The Replacements. Lyrics by Paul Westerberg.
