Mess with Texas was pretty cool until I got tossed for heckling Les Savy Fav for scabbing it on Conan. Wasn't too into Todd Barry's set (see post title for grade). It was too low-key for me. Brian Hussein was awesome, though.

Gotta run -- Me and John Brannon from Negative Approach just challenged Henry Owings and Brian Teasley to a drinking contest!! Some guy named Reggie agreed to serve as the referee.

Practice?

Guess who was back on The Best Show on WFMU last night? That's right, me! I told that loudmouth bore Todd Scharpling all about my tastemaking work for Shovel.com. I also tried to turn him onto some great new bands because he only likes old stuff like ABBA, Big Dipper, and Death Cab for Cutie. You can listen to it here, although be advised that Tom is very insipid. It's this very insipidness that will get him barged by month's end. I hope the barge is big enough because Todd weighs 700 pounds.

Ok, I've gotta catch a plane to South By -- I'm seeing ! I Hate You The Ghost of Anwar Sadat and a reunited September Gurgles at Emo's Lounge at 2 p.m.!!!
