Drag City presents “The People Under The Staresâ€Â an evening of stand-up comedy featuring

Graham Elwood
Jeff Jensen & Elizabeth Mann
Brian Babylon
Becky Garcia
with your host
Rian Murphy
and live musical accompaniment from
Azita & her Ass Shivers

A monthly comedy showcase at The Hideout in Chicago brought to you by the unusual gang of idiots at Drag City.

Earles says: I don’t know much about these other ding dongs but my co-conspirator Jeff Jensen’s performance is sure to whelm with wonder and amusement. You’ll leave offended, confused, and horny. This show is not to be confused with bad underground hip-hop (that’s stairs) or bad horror movies that feature Ving Rhames spending the entire affair referring to a kid lead as “fool!â€Â

 

….due to a formating issue. It was making my site ALL CRAZY. It was the Dan Deacon post, specifically. Sorry if you missed that highly controversial nugget. Do-de-do….here are some albums that have been doing it for me:

1. The new Liars album. For real. I feel as though it may sour as listens go on and on, but there was an immediately positive feeling.

2. I’m on another massive Fleetwood Mac kick.

3. I’m putting together the ultimate Church compilation CD – all pre-Starfish. Seriously, are you unaware of how wonderful this band was? Go away. Go away unfed.

On a somber note, condolences are in order for David and Wendy Dunlap. Last night they lost Suki, their dog of 14 years. I’m not a dog person, but always liked Suki because she acted like a cat. A gentle, quiet Greyhound mix rescued from an abuse shelter, she sadly passed in the night from an unknown, but mercifully quick illness. R.I.P. Suki.

This guy didn’t win the Pitchfork poster contest???? Click the “conster posterâ€Â link.

It’s here, if you don’t feel like reading.

Complete with a Garfield reference and a spot-on dismissal of American Beauty.

I’m going to give it another chance. I have an ulterior motive. It would be in my best interest to know it up and down before I level any criticism. You know, my usual style.

As posted last week, Candace and I spent the weekend in and around Crossville TN (with my mom) visiting my aunt, who lives in a retirement village called Fairfield Glade.

Accomplished: (as predicted) A lot of fruitless fishing (I caught one GIANT sunfish). Two great hikes (one was the historic Fall Creek Falls), and the unfortunate (almost) witnessing of this accident:

We were about thirty cars behind the one that was struck by the motorcyclist. By the time we crawled up, jackets were placed over his destroyed head, but blood was everywhere, legs were pretzel-ed, people were out and about on cell phones, and the waffling driver in front of us had come to a complete stop, forcing the gruesome sight for several minutes. Not sure about you, but I don’t enjoy the intense negativity presented by a freshly dead accident victim.
