100 favorite musical acts

[grateful]

Well they lived in Arlington…..

You know who else fucking lived in fucking Arlington?? The Fucking Wiggles, that's who.

Actually, my bad. They didn't. I don't even know why I said that.

Anyone remember the name of the record store that was at one point I believe was over by Courthouse?  They used to have bands live there and I believe it was Anne Summers who did quite a memorable show there..

Wasn't there at one point a fairly active house show scene in Arlington at one point?  I think The Cassettes were part of that scene for example

also saw some really great shows at Galaxy Hut

I recall that record store, Hutch would definitely know the name

I've seen a few shows at Galaxy, but can't say any were even remotely good

unless the house show scene only existed from 2004-11, I never heard anything about it

It's not that uncommon to mistake Arlington for Australia, it happens all the time

No…pretty sure it was Go! Above sugar shack

Found it in the 930 club forum archives

Now! Music and Fashion was the store I was thinking about.

And Anne Summers was indeed the band that did  a memorable show there.

"Now was a great store to visit in Clarendon and I only went to the Old Town store once.  Didn't even make it to store when it was out briefly near Seven Corners.
 
 They use to have great in stores in Clarendon.  Saw some great shows there... Charming, Devon Green, Swearing at Motorists, Phaser etc.
 
 But my favorite show was when Anne Summers showed up dressed in track suits and proceeded to do all lounge versions of their songs while acting like New Jersey tough guys.  It was hilarious"

[hutch]

Wow before my time I think

I stand corrected

Go! Also had free shows

There was quite the scene…record labels like Teenbeat..

7. (I think) Andres Calamaro

Probably my favorite musician all in all. It’s sad non Spanish speakers will never get to enjoy it. The recent 6 cd deluxe of Honestidad Brutal can be had for $30 on eBay. I already have five copies. Going to give them to friends who speak Spanish

Meeting him in 2011 or so after his show at Irving Plaza and hanging out with him backstage was a dream come true.

[hutch]

Will check out Alaska Thunderfuck tomorrow….kind of scared

[Space Freely]

Is that the same Rupual who has the fracking farm in Wyoming?

[hutch]

Is fracking same as horizontal drilling?

I read we are now the world’s biggest oil producer.

Oil prices are set by the international market but it’s still nice to not be dependent on foreign oil and I have to believe we must have reasonably sized oil reserves Biden can tap if gas prices go up too much. Also, with many people driving electric and hybrid cars I don’t think the price of gas is as much of an issue as in the past. Particularly for the voters Biden needs….

[Blow, me, Joey]

It is his husband's ranch, that allows the fracking; she just lives there part of the year. My favorite quote regarding the fracking issue from Ru . . . "Do you buy gas? Before you point the finger, smell it first, bitch.”

And her music, eats all, regardless.

Hutch . . . I might be wrong, but I believe Alaska's music caters to fans of drag, drag race, and insane gay people.
