Somehow, people, Know here knew about the Residents show in Portland before I did, and *I* have been hunting for confirmation on it all day every day for a week. If that's not a good reason to read the guy's blog, I don't know what is.
This post is out of character for me, but goddamn that's impressive.
So I've never checked out The Residents until today. Watched a couple live vids on youtube. The impression I got was that they are like a spooky, carnival version of Dead Can Dance. Is that a reasonable comparison or am I way off?
Also I just realized I can't go to The Residents anyway. I got two tickets to Girl Talk the same night already.
When I looked at my calendar yesterday, I realized Girl Talk was the same night. Remembering you posted you are going to Girl Talk, I was going to respond, "You weren't going to go anyway."
Not a big deal for you. According to Mr. Mercury, the Residents show will be beautiful, but mellow. Being 19, you'll enjoy the bounce of the Girl Talk show a lot more.

Honestly, I'd probably enjoy The Residents ALOT more. I'd most likely sell my tickets if I wasn't already taking a girl to the Girl Talk show. But then I'd also have to get a fake ID. Ugh.
Titus Andronicus, Real Estate, and some other hipster bullshit in a temple in Brooklyn on New Year's because that's how things work
I can't wait to see Titus Andronicus again. I think I'm one of the few on the west coast who were into them after their first album, The Airing Of Grievances. "You met the world naked and screaming and that's how you'll leave it."
Their new album is top ten for me. I'm not a huge Civil War fan, but the lyrics on The Monitor are pretty rad. "You ain't never been no virgin, kid, you were fucked from the start."
