I was at the Thrushes/Screen Vinyl Image show for some reason I thought that was last year. It might be top ten worthy.

Gay jam band fans. That's a pretty unique homosexual subset. I guess bears and twinks are old hat.

actually, the jam scene is full of bears and twinks. most wear hats too. and i'm sure that quite a few of them ride the all aboard gay express. widespread has the better looking crowd, i must say. thank you so much brian for your . . . input.
-
i must admit, i'm almost disappointed. i was hoping this would be the start of a full-on flame(r) war.
i give this fight (term used loosely) to walkonby. walalce came out swinging unexpectantly with a flourish that reminded us of his days of yore. but walkies' calm, detached reply was elegant and understated. style beats power.

Thanks for enlightening me. I thought the poor hygiene along would be a non-starter. Don't they give you Paul Mitchell Clarifying and Fancy, Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson when they give you your card?

Brian
the knowledge of hair products you posses is amazing. your locks must smell terrific. i just use this stuff called "yes to carrots." not everybody in the scene has poor hygiene, though. stereotyping is so mel gibsonish. you are welcome for the information. anything else you like to know about cock obsession?
-
In case Brian wants to stereotype another homosexual board member by their live music preferences, I'll offer my favorite shows of the year thus far.
Tool @ Red Rocks, Colorado
Atoms for Peace @ Coachella
My Morning Jacket @ Merriweather
Neil Young @ DAR
Wilco @ Electric Factory, Philly
Fever Ray @ Coachella
Puscifer @ Lincoln Theater
Dead Weather @ 9:30 (though that technically is in the second half of 2010)
LCD Soundsystem @ Bonnaroo
Pavement @ Fox Theater, Pomona
