I saw Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools, Walking Concert) perform an acoustic set at a tiny bar yesterday. I’m talking less than 200 people. He played all the hits, even my current theme song - Dine Alone by Quicksand. That’s another check off the “artists I need to see before they quit playing” list. Apparently, Gorilla Biscuits is re-issuing one of their albums and he’s going to be touring with them later this year. Didn’t get any update on what’s going on with Walking Concert though.

In other news, I had some terrible sushi yesterday before the show. Some place on Ave A around 7th or 8th street. Note to all sushi chefs: don’t put carrots in the dragon roll. Better yet, don’t use carrots in sushi at all; the texture is just flat wrong.
