Joanna Newsom or Bret Michaels on the 13th..decisons..decisions
Don't forget the excellent Asthmatic Kitty band Shapes and Sizes on 12/14 at Emo's. They're from Canada, so it has to be good.
holy crap, i just noticed Thomas Dolby!
Iggy and the Stooges at SWSX!!! My badge envy has officially begun.
F the rest, SLICK RICK aka The Ruler is going to go off.
How could you disagree with lines such as:
"Ladies, when we kiss and we cuddle, ain't no way to put it subtle, when I want the butthole."
Adi,
Bret Michaels has canceled his show.
