monday five bragging rights

1. jandek on corwood - scott miller gets to live. i wish i recorded more songs back when i wanted to play guitar, but didn't know how to. i didn't know people would actually get into that shit.



2. bayside clearance sale - tons of flying nun cds for $1. a bunch of 60's reissued 180 gram vinyl records on sundazed for $1. the creation "bif bang pow" comp on vinyl for $1. i felt like i was in a freaking dream that was too good to be true. holly shizzle my nizzle!



3. the frenchmen playing live on KALX followed by the live broadcast of the bananas at 924 gilman. we went to the show after we were done and as we walked into the building the KALX dj at gilman was talking to the DJ in the studio. niki was still in the car listening to the radio and heard "it looks like the frenchmen have arrived..." i wonder if they announced when we left the building.



4. the bananas calling the sound man and gilman "sound-o"



5. realizing i haven't been to 924 gilman in ages, but seeing that dude with the spiked hair and studded jacket still hangs out there and enjoys "slam-dancing", and he's still like 12 years old or something.
