Actually, I may head down to the Baltimore show. Only if he does "Paint a Vulgar Picture." A costume is required, no? Maybe I'll go as a "9:30 Message Board Hipster." What will I need? Let's see...:
Thick-rimmed glasses.
Well-worn band t-shirt of a band you never listen to and couldn't pick out of a line-up.
Ironic girlfriend.
Vintage sneakers.
Distressed Army jacket.
A willingness to discuss how Radiohead are the MC5 of the "aughts."
Bad posture/unathletic ability.
General sense of malaise.
Am I missing anything?
Brian
The knickers in a wad.

Exactly!
Personally, I disagree with about 98% of what Brian says but respect his right to have his own opinion and I love reading his posts very much in the same way that I sometimes enjoy reading the NME. I often don't agree with them but love their very Northern English sense of humor. It's the comedy angle I love. Sometimes it's the wit itself and other times it's his absurd thinking that has me laughing. Bet Mankie knows what I mean. Then again, sometimes I'm just appreciating a good jab to a board that needs a nice sharp pin in it's bloated ego, collectively speaking.
Smackie, funny you mention Flawd as I too was thinking they both have a lot in common. I too miss Flawd.
It is amazing how much Brian seems to know about older music. Makes me wonder about some things like if he's just pissed off that he missed out on so much good music. :p
