It List: Wednesday
Fancy Fist/Jessie Mayeux/DJ Baby Ruthless/DJ Ronin with Dance Your Face Off Upstairs (The Cavern): We're kind of worried that our friend Sally Glass, aka Fancy Fist, is going to get too big for us soon and leave us to drown our sorrows with bad beer and dumb opinions on local music as she enjoys the kind of fame and fortune that we could only dream of. After just a couple introductory gigs around town last month, Sally's calendar is now packed with upcoming shows, and she is just returning from her debut Austin performance last night at the Mohawk. I'm not sure how it went because I haven't heard from her yet today, but I'm not worried-- I'm pretty sure WSJR will always be on her speed dial. Right? Right guys? Sally? Hello?
Burning Brides/Middle Class Rut/True Widow (Club Dada): We've been pretty big fans of John Iskander's Parade of Flesh shows ever since we interviewed him last year, but I'm not sure I really get this one. Burning Brides are one of those bands who actually list The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins as influences on their Myspace page, and I usually try pretty hard to stay away from groups that do stuff like that. However, in the interest of not being a total dick, I spent some time with some of their music this weekend, and after several songs I realized that I was right all along-- this basically sounds like modern cock rock to me. And I mean "modern" like "alternative" here. Same goes with Middle Class Rut, making locals True Widow the automatic highlight here with their DGC era Sonic Youth meets shogaze, britpop and Brian Jonestown Massacre sound. Some fairly decent stuff here and there. Anyway, there is a reason we expect more than this from Parade of Flesh shows, and Iskander's upcoming birthday party at Club Dada with Health provides a pretty good example of what we're used to from him.
ADD: And how could we forget: Earth, Wind and Fire are at Nokia. I've been jamming to their 1983 album Powerlight like all summer basically. And David Banner is at House Of Blues.

yeah man i know this person so check them out they are fantastic uhhh i don't know those guys they suck they don't say hi to me.
we run around doing the same thing at the same places how awesome are we!
I can't get into them because they don't get into what i do .
i bet you fuckers will go out and buy becks new record even though you never met him.
or maybe you'll go see the new batman movie and drop $8 a ticket but complain about shows that cost more than $5.
you guys are boring .
remind me to ignore you on my way to the john.
I don't get it. Try forming your arguments using a series of well though out sentences so that I can actually understand what you're trying to say before I make you look stupid again.
sorry stonedranger i just took a big leak all over your blog without any consideration to you or your readers i shouldn't be the first guy to comment i'll come back later.
you will tonight.
regards,
john of flesh
(yeah, i have a sweet spot for power rock with your cock out = brides)
thanks for mentioning burning brides over JONAS BROTHERS!! i was worried that readers of this site would be more interested in jonas brothers at starplex.
regards,
parade of john
Smashing Pumpkins KICKASS.
Listing them on your myspace page DOESNOT KICKASS.
Having a myspace page listing influences is GAY.
Shitkander is NOT SO GAY and Sally is NOT a HOT PIECE OF ASS.
That's just like, my opinion, MAN.
boy this comment day had a bad start.
damn, this is getting uglier than mandingo.
I'm confused.
Is Sally a hot piece of ass or not?
This is just so damn illogical.
I think i'm going to go listen to some BTO and do up my fro.
who calls the restroom "the john" anyway?
I've seen a pregnant chick rock.
Exene Cervenka at the Bronco Bowl when X opened for Warren Zevon.
So, you know, there's really nothing new...
Pregnant rock: Kim Gordon, "Bull in the Heather", The Conan O'Brien Show, Season 1: giant Knicks jersey.
"3:49
for example who or what band?"

Mangina rock: Pinebox Serenade.
The best part of this site, is all the comments Sally posts about herself being hot.
Either that or someone is playing a joke on her.
But, some people do like spare tires I guess
Sally Glass?
i would kill a yak for her supper.
sally gas.
no, this is great for Sally, all the crap she gets from everyone will only make her more of a hit. remember farah?
if she's willing to put up with enough shit , she just might make it.
on ward!

no really Sally isn't that good. She's just made out to be because of certain blogs. Kinda like Kobe.
you guys should start posting IPs w. the comments, so we can see the same 20 people argue with themselves to stir a discussion.
just sayin'
Certain blogs? GASP? WHICH ONES?
I mean "GASP!"
Sally Glass is fantastic.
Farah is looney tunes.
I went to the True Window show and all I got was this sleeve tattoo.
Actually, they were very good.
sally is both HOT and good at playing guitar and singing. i know she doesn't post those sally is hot comments. so eat a dick everyone. and keep hating
sally sucks little pee
pee
I thought this sally girl was the chick that ran around town taking photos of everyone at the bars.

Some of it did
let's oil up sally and farah for a wrestling match!!
You people need to expand your horizons if your prospects are so slim(pardon the pun) that you think Sally Glass is hot.
god some of you fuckers are immature assholes
All pretension aside, Burning Brides were actually pretty rad, but then I am a guy who likes to rock out sometimes. Middle class rut were really baddass as well...as far as the opinions of the author of this blog, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and if the opinion giver IS an asshole then I really don't give two shits what they have to say. I can say after reading this blog a few times, and considering alot of the music they usually recommend(douche rock), someone at We shot JR, is an asshole, but they are probably proud of that fact. Enjoy the aroma.
And thanks John for bringing some good shows to DALLAS.
"Kinda like Kobe." that dude is for real, he jumped over an Ashton Martin
"someone at We shot JR, is an asshole, but they are probably proud of that fact."
You got it, dude!
"someone at We shot JR,is an asshole, but they are probably proud of that fact"
most people who have something to offer put themselves out there for the world to view. name and face
the we shot jr guys hide behind their computers and proudly criticize
since they can remain anonymous.
how nice.
good thing you have no real talent wsjr your time will come.
not all of us can hide behind monikers, "just saying".
but Sally, i understand the wsjr crew , some of my best comments come anonymous.
i've been shaping your minds anonymously from the beginning.
how easy you play right into my fun.
but not all my work here is to hate mostly i get to steer popular opinion.
just remember i'm here watching , reading , commenting , agreeing disagreeing .
my work is not done.
signed,
the phantom of wsjr!!
muahha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well if you think our opinions or actions are "shaped" by the comments section, you couldn't possibly read this blog that often.
you'll be a little more cautious now won't you stonedranger or maybe you'll be defiant and continue as you always have.
i'll put another piece of cheese out for you to nibble on.
i like you very much .
and i want to suck you off!!!
what is it w/fuckers trying to lay claim to my legacy on this shit.
it's vaguely flattering and highly annoying. whatever and ever, amen.
i think just about everybody knows who i am by now, unless you haven't been paying attention...
im pretty sure that no one is actually paying attention.
