Another glorious evening with a full boat..... well except for Byron, but everyone else was there....but Jay who not there... but the rest of us..... um until Greg had to leave 5 minutes in.... anyway it was another vile spewing abuse session where everyone got bitch slapped at least once.
It was an educating night. We all learned a little about each other. It was determined that our resident Scorcese (Mike M for those scoring at home) has no rhyme or reason to what he likes or dislikes. While he was in the bathroom we decided never to try and figure him out again. Another little jewel of knowledge was that Jen truly enjoys placing her heart on her sleeve just to have us tear it apart and chew it a new one. She never left to use the ladies room, so with secretive hand gestures we voted to be nicer to her picks no matter how horrid they may be. D'Arcy proved that if its from an American master is sucks cud in his book. Only English pop-rock for this dude. For those tallying at home so far its a big raspberry from D'Arcy for Dylan, Neil Young and now Randy Newman. As for Mike H (aka Monsta) all decided he was just to mean to yours truly. I sit here sad and dejected. Lastly, I was shown to have worn the cutest outfit of the evening. I believe D'Arcy called me "a button"... I blush.
The Snake The Cross The Crown were the night's winner. Not a bad review in the bunch. Walt Mink and US3 were close but the nose goes to Walt. And no one but Jen wanted to be Of Montreal. C'est La Vie.
D'Arcy was not overly keen on this month collection of discs giving a 0 to US3, a 1 to Of Monreal and, shown at right, a blistering interpretive review of what he thinks of Randy Newman. (needless to say he cleared the room)
No complaints from anyone in regards to the production projects we would like to organize. Everything from Alt-country to Green Day to Hendrix via Prince to guitar rockin' brit rock. The books led to a long literary discussion which of course led an animated talk on horror movies with visual aids provided by Jen. yum.
I usually write down things to look into for personal enjoyment. I wrote the word MAGNET and circled it. If anyone has a legitimate reason why I wrote that please let me know. I'm stumped.
This has gotten a tad long so I will post later the homework for next meeting which will be
September 4 with a special appearance by Da' Monsta. Please wear your sunglasses that night.

Ahem. I said you were my hero, how can that be construed as being mean?
Also, I'll wear a hat to the meeting, so ya'll can leave the shades at home...

One of the best 'Meeting Reports' ever. Visuals always sell, man. Always.
And MAGNET is the name of the snooty "alternative"/indie-minded magazine I recommended to you, Ken. Very reasonable subscription charge for six issues a year, sampler CD with each issue, and one CD of choice (of 12 or so) from a new band each year with subscription renewal. They’re so cool that I'm all proud that they published one of my letters once. Phil Sheridan (sp?), the writer who does the back page, is often hilarious (when he's not talking about how he's aging or his kids). My only complaint is that they refuse to give a star or "sounds like" code to their new CD reviews. But you should still get it.
