Do you like music? I like music. I like music so much that at the opening show of The Pixies Doolittle tour in Los Angeles last night I forgot to order a “call” vodka and instead wound up with “well” vodka. And not just once, but three times. Not the rookie move you really want to make for a Thursday work morning, but I was just so excited I could have peed all over the floor of the Hollywood Palladium like a puppy. Make that a drunk puppy (who is now a slightly sick puppy). Anyway, if you can’t make it to one of The Pixies shows—it’s worth it, trust me—maybe you can check out our friends in The Deadly Syndrome. They’re on a slightly less grandiose tour at present but it’s a tour just the same and they need to be loved just like everybody else does. And on that handsome note: Rock over London, rock on, Chicago. Dickhouse—it takes a load off.

Happy (cheap) Birthday, guys! (more…)
