I’ve been spotted on an internet!!!

Getting pretty amped about going to CMJ next week.  Expect reports in this space from (hopefully) every show I attend.  I’m gonna try and be a good journalist and take notes, but who knows how long that’s going to last, because I assume I am going to get pretty excellently drunk.

So, as far as I’m concerned, the show to beat from last year’s CMJ happened at Death By Audio, and included the Coathangers, Double Dagger, and Parts & Labor.  Definitely an insanely amazing performance from all three of those bands.  In particular, Parts & Labor was phenomenal; Sarah Lipstate’s lead-guitar work that night on “Solemn Show World” was probably the coolest moment of all eternity. Too bad she’s not in the band anymore. (Aside: in looking up the specifics of that show, I stumbled upon this write-up/photo gallery.  See if you can spot me in one of those pictures.  I’ll give you a hint: I’m wearing a super-hip Rancid hoodie.)
