FUCK YOU 2009 YOU VENGEFUL SHITHEAD..BEST OF

FUCK YOU 2009 YOU VENGEFUL SHITHEAD..BEST OF

1-diane cluck at jean deux books in hudson ny-diane brought her own food in recyclable containers,never complained that her dressing room wasnt warm enough and didnt require any m&m extracting..she held a bunch of possibly grumpy folkfollowers in her hands and heart for 45 mins and they went home full of cake.
2-talk normal,jana hunter,tara jane o neill-i don't make jokes about estrogen anymore so stop reading this if your looking for one.If anybody "won" this evening it was TalkNormal..before they were on th cover of Rolling Stone and expense accounting their beers to Vivendi they were a raw massive snarly robot of fury dragging all th freshman to th dirty floor and leaving them there..awesome...jana and tara remain spooky,spooked and super charming as ever.
3-bunnybrains w meshell ndegeocello-jasons bar-hudson ny-as bad ideas go,asking grammy nominees to jam w an elderly noiserock outfit should stand as one of th worst ones.except when said nominee is looking to flush some demonickry of her own out th pipe.and thats where it lay.like a goldfish fucking Mike Pattons face.awesomeness
4-flaming dragons of middle earth-john doe jr greenfield mass-what happens when a handicap is a strongsuit?flamings Danny Cruz leader and lover,directs and heckles and throws ideas around like an alchemist who makes gold into shit and then back again.With adhoc help from various wesmass citizens the room fills up with horns and guitars and drums and chants and then its all gone.snowflake.on.fire.on.your tongue
5-boredoms at EMPAC-RPI Campus-great show etc etc etc etc etc etc
6-Joe Moore-jasons bar-hudson ny-When the ghost of Mark Lanegans sewing kit decides to take up residency in your throat whats a man to do.The unyoung Moore does th hard thing.Write grreat loner road songs,beer songs,love tracts,and still plays a mean strange spirit filled guitar.Now that he has brushed mortal coils with a recent bout of Lyme disease,his songs have a layer of ether and rot on them that only real life can provide.
7-Coma Club VHS and on Cable Access in Western Mass-Jamie Mohrs trapdoor of analog delight seems to go forward,sideways and backwards in technology,writing and skillsets all at the same time.Less self aware and more AWARE than "real" video art,Mohr crafts tv loveletters to her friends and sidekicks with every episode.CF from Kites in a sub B zombie love story,Jessica Rylan bleeping her hearts in chrome bubbles,Frankie Martin cooking something noone will eat and on and on.The amount of obvious sincerity and craft in each ep.is a great barometer to see how shitty and contrived so much of this genre is.Check your local library or GardenComa on youtube.
