CAUTION: Bummer Ahead
Worst Week Ever
Last night Wendi said, "You know, if you can get through this week without smoking you can do anything." Because in the past week: hospital, hospice, a funeral for a baby, and now another funeral - after a long battle with heart disease, my grandmother passed away yesterday.
Maybe I shouldn't make fun of the Pope anymore.
Also Sad
I still haven't paid my stupid taxes yet.

I don't have to go home again until Sunday, which leaves Friday and Saturday for heavy drinking and brainless good times. Luckily, I have a lot to choose from:
Saturday Rocks in Shee-Ka-Go
The Layaways @ Gunther Murphy's
Local band with a lovely, dreamy sound that gives me the happy. This early afternoon show is part of International Pop Overthrow and, at $6, a killer bargain. Download the tasty track "Silence" right this second.
Decibully & Owen @ Schubas
I've posted Decibully here a bazillion times and if you haven't downloaded "Tables Turn" you have no one to blame but yourself. Also, we totally hate that outfit. Go change. New Decibully has me on the fence - this song is just hokay - but every bit of the City of Festivals album is brilliant. My boyfriend Mike Kinsella, aka Owen, opens for added scrumptiousness. Grab "In the Morning Before Work" and pretend he wrote it because he loves you.
[UPDATE: This show was brilliant. FREDBECK.]
Andrew Bird @ Metro
Another local boy done good. The hipster kids are all up on his jock at the moment, and for good reason: the stuff he's doing now is awesomeness, way better than that Squirrel Nut Zippers retro-esque swing crap back in the day. "A Nervous Tic" is from the new album, "Action/Adventure" is not, but you will like it anyway.
Out Hud @ The Empty Bottle
Adorable, dancey music with some seriously great song titles: "Dad, There's a Little Phrase Called Too Much Information," "The L Train is a Swell Train and I Don't Want to Hear You Indies Complain," and "Hair Dude, You're Stepping On My Mystique" to name but a few. The instrumental tracks are fine and dandy, but I especially heart the songs with vocals. Try "How Long."
Tonight Ain't Half Bad Neither
Dirty Found party at the Hideout. You know you love yourself some Found Magazine, and who doesn't want to see other people's porn? $10 buys admission, a copy of the mag and loads of other horndog activities. Melmar, this has your name written all over it. And not just on the bathroom wall either. Ba dum BUM. Call me !
That One Guy is in Town This Weekend
Man, I almost hope he is stupid enough to call me.
The French are Le Nuts
Laugh at this video because, come on, that's funny.
