mission: quite possible

hey everybody! i want to thank everyone for your support: thanks to you, silverlake-free radio is now a reality. i havent heard the silversun pickups on the radio in months, and great northern and airborne toxic event are playing ice skating rinks and dog racing tracks (are state fairs next? only toad the wet sprocket knows for sure). gangi has run out of stickers. major labels are dropping silverlake bands left and right. everythings going to be ok.

on a personal note, i have pretty much stopped going to shitty shows. i cant remember the last 'free night' i attended, or the last time i saw the parson redheads (granted, they are audio taco bell in the sense that they stay in your system for less than 3 hours). nowadays i mostly just see bands i already like, which cuts my shows-per-month down from a stupefying 12 (when i started this blog) to a more manageable 4 (when i got a job).

sometimes i wonder if im missing out on 'hidden gems'; artists who are too crazy or old to have a myspace page. but honestly, who has the time? i mean, besides me 6 months ago.
