musica


Posted by avoque

I haven’t posted about music in a while, largely because I haven’t bee listening to much of anything new lately. The newest for me is the latest girltalk, which continues to rock ass. I missed a million shows in september due to my recruiting travel, but I’m going to start making up for that soon.

I broke down and bought the badge for sxsw next year. I haven’t decided if it was a good idea oe not yet, but we’ll see. I also just booked my flight for funfunfunfest, which means I will finally get to see the Dead Milkmen in person and I will see Rival Schools as well. Everything else is icing on the cake. There are some bands that I have already seen and know I like (minus the bear) and others that I want to see just because I’ve heard they are supposed to be good, or even better, have a name that I find funny (The Toxic Avenger). If anyone shows up dressed as Melvin the mopboy I will wet my pants and then I will take pictures (of the guy, not my pants).

In NY music news, I have a lot of shows coming up over the next few months. GWAR (that’s right motherfuckers), Danzig (metalriffic), girltalk (indies hipsters prepare to get served by my hiphopancer), and the Toadies (rocking like it’s 1995). I can’t even remember what else I have lined up, but it’s going to be better than shaking hands with 200 college students with questionable hygiene. Thank goodness that’s over.

In a fitting end to my month of recruiting travel I once again found myself paying for bud lights at the horseshoe outside chicago. the place was packed, much busier than last time I was there. we had a hard time getting in to a table, but eventually got settled in to a $15 craps table. Once again I drew the amateur night table. the worst part was that it was the same dealer as last time. If you can’t start to grasp craps dealing after 160 hrs of working the table; it’s time to start looking into other career options.

this was easily the slowest game of craps I’ve ever played, but much like sitting in traffic, I was sure that if I tried to move to another table I would have to wait another half hour for a table that probably had dealers of comperable quality.

Oh and another aside: attention craps players: fuck you and all of your complicated prop/hop bets. Seriously, if you can’t figure out what you should be paid, quit using that fucking strategy. Yes, the dealers are slow, but you are making the problem worse when five of you are only making prop bets. I fucking hate all of you.

And one more thing. If your pre-roll ritual takes a long time, it better fucking stay on the table.

I love gambling.
