It List: Monday 8/7/06 Thank God its raining
1. Attractive and Popular/Blonde Girls (8th Continent- Denton): Due to scheduling issues and other concerns, tonight's show will be the last at the 8th Continent for several months, so if you wanted to get a chance to check the space out any time soon, tonight would be a good night to do it... as in the only night to do it. But even if the place wasn't temporarily closing up shop, this would be a good night to go anyway, as I can't think of many bands that would be more fun to see at the 8th than the two that are playing tonight. In case you haven't heard, Ft. Worth's Blonde Girls are an excellent live band, with hyper start/stop rhythms and machine gun noise guitar assaults that certainly will command the attention of even the snobbiest of WSJR readers. Fans of the ridiculously good Lightning Bolt, Blood Brothers, and our own Eat Avery's Bones will surely dig it. Attractive and Popular's infectious and completely danceable no wave is also well worth the drive to see live, with synths and even a slight prog influence separating them from the vast majority of bands that could be described by using the words "punk" and "dance" in the same sentence. Check out "Sononon" on their myspace page. Should be a great show at a venue that we can only hope will keep going.
2. Fallout Lounge Open Mic Night (with Rhett and Tim from Happy Bullets): We haven't had a chance to see the new open mic night over at Fallout, but I'd be willing to bet everything I own that its at least better than the old fallout open mics, with completely laughable singer songwriters and joke bands that were about as funny as a Dick Cheney press conference dominating the stage... so we can say that this version will be a bit better than that, at least. I don't know if Rhett and Tim actually have control over who plays there, but they have been looking for good acts to come experiment and have some fun, and considering that those guys seem to have pretty good taste, they might be able to make it a good night. I'm willing to go down and give it a shot.

i'm curious about the same thing SR.
where's that dude who was talking about "Barley" and calling people no one on here knows by there first name? i think i was beginning to understand where he was coming from.
it's like, this town won't get anywhere w/o charlie, but charlie doesn't want to help out. all charlie cares about is the Pad (and don't pretend like you don't all know). i mean, when it comes down to it all, charlie has made this town a dead town
post of the day? Yessir!
I wanted to give a little heads up about the Porch tonight. It's a free party at Dan's with fiction readers, poets, and music, every other Tuesday...
Well, tonight, Spitfire Tumbleweeds are going to play. That's me and cory from Record Hop, Adub from Current Leaves, JC from Burnt Sienna Trio, Alex from Super Love attack, and local beard legend Kody Jackson. It's good earnest country music, sometimes a little rocking. If that sounds alright, come on out at 8:00

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Let the 100+ post rally begin!
Thanks Dconstruction.
The posts on here have been getting weird... the heat maybe?
well I'm glad someone has tried to figure out what the hell some of these strange cryptic posts actually mean.
i think, if you go back aways, that you would've seen a post that read: politics and music are like religion and music, they don't mix.

i mean, that was you and him splitting the double meat at hunky's, right???
Open Mic night was a blast! I'll be back for more. Before heading to Fallout, I went to the "Save the Scene" meeting at Darkside. They've started a message board here.
Welcome back Carter!
