$5 Cover

Rick, probably the only one who will check this out. Worth it though. Watched these and to a certain degree this is pete's life. Music is pretty awesome, all real musicians they put into a Hills format, but totes watchable. Sticky muck or whatever in episode two is cringe worthy but the rest are great. Only 15 min apiece, decent time killer.

Passion Pit arguments created


Assuming no one else is even familiar with this. a months long war has been going on about passion pit as internet underservers of hype and hokey musicians.

all i've seen is their videos and heard the music, and it's fucking good, so i'm a bit confused as to the hatred.

none other than jarvis cocker stated this one sound's like born again christians doing justice's D.A.N.C.E. but other than any other song possibly sounding like a similiar song, i don't get it.

on top of that all the video collaberators have provided something interesting, admittedly not ground breaking, but interesting and fitting none the less.

just don't understand the backlash for a decent but forgettable group.

the electronic Hold Steady maybe?

a treat for those that atended



You already know this if you were there, but the Junior Boys are an excellent live act. Considering how 'manufactured' they sound on record, i wasn't expecting an amazing show, but was totally floored. These guys are the real deal. To me the biggest suprise was Jermey Greenspan's voice...so many times when you see a live act your realize the album cut was obviously the best vocal take out of hundreds...with this guy, some the live was on par and sometimes better.

I think the guy that recored this was standing directly behind us. i've watched a few of the other songs he recorded on youtube. i love this shit- this is right where is was standing, this was just what i saw.

this should really do it for you. peter i might be talking to you.



Gotta love those miserable vocals...sounds like Unknown Pleasures recorded in the sixties? Wears it's infulences on it's sleeve but fuck what doesn't anymore.

On A Misty Morning, I Left My Window Down




There were thoughts entering but quickly leaving my mind. Namely of the text message and what it meant. It was a less than subtle jab at my spite of all things work-related. My behavior earlier in the night had echoed that sentiment. Joe, the new guy was the new person. Other than his comments against horse-man communions, I am inclined to appreciate his solid, sober work ethic.
"Here's the deal, Joe" I said, "Normally, I don't like to work really....at all. So normally, I just pay the door guy half my tips to do all the closing work for me."
I really would rather be leaning on the bar, talking to customers about music. I treat that as my job. That and drinking.
Anyway, back to the text message. It read: "website?!". The two punctuations didn't quite give the impression that either of them was meant to give by themselves. I've heard people say that emotions are almost impossible to understand through a text message or email, but I dissagree. I believe that you can see a person's soul through what they type or text. Push button history.
Well, the point is that the website is not yet up and running. That, and that it's four days past due. That coupled with the fact that I paid my bosses friend off to do my work while I drink with my friends.....Well, let's just say that I need to get to my homework. I was looking forward to getting past the first page of the new Jonfen book. I hadn't been able to read a book in quite some time. Well, that won't do. I must be getting to the meat of what it is to be alive soon. My thoughts drift to the insane. Not Insane thoughts, but thoughts about the insane....And how it can all be caused by things you eat and the couches that you sleep on.

Here's Parts 2 and 3:
