crabby

repulsively unpleasant on the inside. stiff on the outside. yesterday Hop Along played here in Birmingham and then slept over and their van's brakes don't work and we went to a Chinese buffet that has macaroni and cheese. the gas in our apartment is getting turned on today so to celebrate I'll probably make some kind of funfetti.

sometimes people show too much of themselves, like they're overzealously barbaric and rude like people are just gonna stay their friend forever no matter how surly they are. I hope that the world doesn't work like that. I hope those people get what's coming. because swallowing irritable instincts is like second nature to most people.

Um we played a show in Somerville, MA on tour and some kid threw some cups at me and the same kid called Shannon's fannypack retarded and then mispronounced like 3 band names to me and then tried to catch a ride with TTF but all that aside Catherine sent me a video of our set and so I thought I'd post it.

Today we drive from Cambridge (Somerville) to Philly. I feel like there was a period of time last year when I was in Philadelphia like once a month or something crazy.

2. To The East- Electrelane

Today is Cambridge, MA. This summer we played a show there and I ended up asleep in a closet at the Advocate building? Our friend Catherine has been really supportive of our band since what seems like the very beginning. My mix today is partly dedicated to her because I included a lot of bands that I know we both like. Another thing that should be interesting about our show is that it's on St Patrick's Day. If it's anything like last time it should be pretty crazy. Cheers!

CAMBRIDGE:
1. Fuck and Run- Liz Phair
2. Supreme Nothing- Tiger Trap
3. Never Say Never- That Dog
4. Count To Ten- The Softies
5. By Tomorrow- Black Tambourine
6. Caribou- The Pixies
7. Catch The Spirit- Football, Etc.
8. Lily White Hands- The Gossip
9. I'm Not Even Trying- This Is My Fist!
10. Laments Of A Mattress- Hop Along

Today we play in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I love playing shows in New York. We were just up about a month ago and the show was really awesome. The people I know here have always been endlessly supportive so I think in my mixtape today I'm going to reciprocate in a tiny way. Every band on the list today is either from New York(or very close in NJ) or was from New York or, in one case, is from REALLY far away but I played a show with in New York. You should check all of them out after downloading.

BROOKLYN:
1. Favreau- Kudrow
2. The Big Six- Little Lungs
3. Island Loops- So So Glos
4. The Moment That You Said Yes- The Measure (SA)
5. Hot Tub- Full Of Fancy
6. Bone Valley Deposit- The Besties
7. The Golden Ghost- Cheeky
8. Joset of Nazareth's Blues- Titus Andronicus
9. Slow Signal- The Diamond Sea
10. Three- Each Other's Mothers

Today we're playing in Washington DC at the 3rd St Co-op. I haven't ever played a show in DC so I'm eager to see what it'll be like. Its a very historical city for punk rock and one of my favorite record labels ever was based out of DC. (Simple Machines) I included some local now-defunct bands as well as a Magnetic Fields song that I couldn't leave off for discernible reasons. Enjoy.

WASHINGTON DC
1. Waxed- Tsunami
2. Washington D.C.- Magnetic Fields
3. Exorcism- Turboslut
4. Casper The Friendly Ghost- Daniel Johnston
5. What's- The Ecstasy of St. Theresa
6. Everything Is- Neutral Milk Hotel
7. The Black and The Red- One Reason
8. It's The Love- The Breeders
9. Sadder Star- Mineral
10. Eisenhower Is The Father- Best Friends Forever

Today we're doing a kind of crazy drive to Baltimore. (It's really only crazy because we are playing DC tomorrow. We're doing this because our friend/promoter in DC gets home from tour tomorrow) Never have I ever had a lousy time in Baltimore. The people there are ever-so accommodating and cordial so we are really pumped to go back. Also never have I ever been to Baltimore and not gone swimming. I guess there is a first time for everything. None of these bands are from Baltimore, its just a jumble.

BALTIMORE:
1. Crash- The Primitives
2. Sleeper Hold- Teenage Cool Kids
3. Extracts- Ruby Falls
4. Freewheel- Team Dresch
5. Vanishing Act- Excuse 17
6. Tangled Up- Fleabag
7. Fair Friend- Abe Froman
8. Life Moves- RVIVR
9. Doomed To Be Alone- Used Kids
10. Waiting Room- Slingshot Dakota
