rollcall...
-
As much as I want to go to Noise Against tonight, I don't think I'll make it.
-
It smells like burnt rice cakes in my office.
-
well, it pains me to not go to noise against...for reasons not worth going into, I'm headed to Iota.

One of my favorite creepy old guys and one of my favorite hot wives I might add! I may be at IOTA myself........

Well we got to Iota at 8:15, and were #163 and #164 in line. The place awas already well over half full. No way were we getting in.
The only other time I've seen the line that long for Iota was Ryan Adams. My wife says the line for Jack Johnson wa that long.

I dont think it will be nearly as bad, the Decemberists have passed the peak of their buzz, and Ray LaWanttobeKebMo is just getting to his, and with a different crowd, think Ryan Adams and Jack Johnson
I am sure it will sell out though

Only time I've seen it like that was for Glen Phillips a year ago. Once it's like that the buzz dies down the next time they appear there.

Seeing somewhere around 9 noise bands in one sitting proved to be an exhausting night. Definitely had some high points, but a fair amount of low points as well. Kudos to the organizers for limiting each bands set; I was afraid that this thing would get a little out of hand, but it was presented in a fairly digestable format.
Regardless, Mirror/Dash and Corsano/Flaherty were both pretty amazing, and I really enjoyed 16 Bitch Pileup (what a bogus name) and Monotract. Magik Markers were a slight letdown; I enjoyed them opening for Sonic Youth last time, but maybe the novelty wore off. Still, you gotta applaud them for their getting up there and doing it. I definitely could've lived without Double Leopard and Nautical Almanac, which was possibly the worst band I've ever seen. By the time TLASILA came on, I was just too exhausted to enjoy it. Of course, these names are all guesses for the most part, since saying your band's name into a wickedly distorted mike doesn't help clarify anything.
One other observation;
Guys in noise bands = ugly.
Girls in noise bands = Surprisingly cute.
-
I think Kim Gordon set the standard on this one.

Unless they are like Ryan Adams and get bigger in popularity or even bigger like Jack Johnson or Norah Jones and never return to Iota.

I almost forgot NKOTB's Star Report;
Obviously, Kim and Thurston were walking around the floor the entire night, but the surprise celebrity of the evening was Crist Novoselic, standing next to me at the bar. He appeared to stand around 9 feet tall.

Well done.

I thought I remembered hearing he was running for something, but I didn't notice any billboards or advertisements for his campaign. Of course, I kind of stopped looking after the 12th Get our Troops Out of Iraq NOW leaflets I was handed.

Sigh, I don't receive leaflets or flyers anymore.

eh the kim/thuston project was a total sham, it wasnt intence at all, it souned like a outtake of the 1000 leaves session, just boring to me, everyone ate it up, there were about 20 people behind me there to see just them and they were going nuts. thurston and kim could fart on a snare drum and people would buy it and 5000 people were taking pictures like it was a press confrence.
that being said 26 bitch pile up, magik markers, nautical almanac were all amazing, magik markers were def the highlight for me. also the suprise were (forgot the band name) the drummer cris, and sax player paul, which at first I thought was peter brotzmann, still really good none the less.
now if only sword heaven and the new flesh would have played, it would have been perfect
but yeah was sorta glad lightning bolt didnt play after all

Yeah, I know the feelin'. Whenever there are flyer hander-outers outside the student union at UMCP, they ignore me, especially the ones pimping nightclubs with names like "Fur", "Limo", "Diamond", "[fill in overused word associated with ostentatious appearance of imagined wealth]", etc. 'Course, I wouldn't be going anyway... :p

The New Flesh are sweet.

The Noise Against Fascism show was like watching a tug-of-war battle between Urkel and Mike Tyson. Some bands were REALLY, REALLY SUCKED. And others were pretty decent. Magik Markers, Mirror/Dash, Corsano/Flaherty, and TLASILA were all good. The others were offensively terrible! By the time TLASILA reached the stage almost all of them almost all of them, with the exception of Thurston, seemed totally butthoused. The singer Tim?? was reading lyrics while he was not falling all over himself, Rat (the dude with the black hat)?? was stumbling around, Don (when he was not playing) was standing at the back of the stage with his guitar smoking, drinking a beer, and laughing at everyone, and Andrew WK looked nightmarishly wrung up. That being said, they put on a hell of a show that teetered along the edge of insanity and hilarity, reminiscent of Butthole Surfers. For $12.00, the night was definately worth it!

Apparently he decided not to run for office in Washington state but he did put out a book about politics(and his time in Nirvana).
