Jesu's show on Tuesday was indeed pleasurable considering their last visit didn't go so well. Botch was a spectacular band, but it's still not clear to me how These Arms Are Snakes ends up on so many good bills (or Minus the Bear, for that matter). Oxbow always destroys. Thank you, Brock. Nice to see the quiet return of Frances Reade's byline. Hopefully, she'll get a chance to write about books again, too.

I was going to post that you left out the Jesu show on the events the other night but assumed no one cared. Oxbow and Jesu were incredible, not a fan of These Arms.. weird that they made it a half seated show too.

How could you not mention Eugene's stint in Whipping Boy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipping_Boy_(American_band) Which for any local teen in the early 80's was one of the most accessible punk bands to see.

Wow. I needed another hero. "I don’t know that the music is tied to [the violence] -- that’s just a reasonable artistic response to people who are not fans of art." So true. So motherfucking true you fucking fucks.
