The curse of Nelly's "Hot in Herre": since that summer in 2002 when the song came out, every time somebody says, "man, it's hot in here", there's a decent chance some goon will instinctively say, "so take off all your clothes!". Shhhh! Anyways, Jenny Owens Youngs, who comes to Bottom of the Hill on Friday, also sings that cursed song kind of sweetly, acoustic-style. Yeah, acoustic covers of rap songs... here are a couple lists/threads with boatloads of them, in case you're interested: list one and list two.
Also, we'll be checking out Iron & Wine on Wednesday, snapping some photos and checking Sam Beam's beard for stray bits of food.

Used to be ugly people were shunned by society and therefor hid in their bedrooms and got good at playing instruments. Now it seems people are popular based on their looks/fashion/clique.
What gives?
Yawn.
That said, I think I will go and try to get back stage. Shes hot as shit.
@Yoga Matt -
So are you saying that Sam Beam is ugly, or that Jenny Owens Youngs has no talent? You need to focus your snark better, or people won't know how superior you are.
Neither. And I know Im a better musician. I just miss seeing really good and ugly players.
STEEL PULSE May 5 , GRAND THEATER in SF
The Grand absolutely sucks as a venue. Hope you're ready for the cavity search.
Did somebody say "cavity search"?!?!?
