One and a half fake teeth

I've been looking for an excuse to tag someone "tagged" on 43 people for a while now, and today I finally found an excuse.

Bad Rock Haiku #29: Metric

2005.11.01, at the Crocodile

How do you hide it
Under such sultry music,
That robot heartbeat?

Bad Rock Haiku #28: "All-Star Tribute to The Who"

2005.10.28, assorted local rock stars at the Sunset

We're lit by encore,
Dud bombs fused with guitar wires,
Remembering when.

Bad Rock Haiku #27: Bats of Belfry, Band of Horses, and Okkervil River

2005.10.28, at the Crocodile

That second show curse
Struck again.  Take Ballard's Who
As medicine men.

Bad Rock Haiku #26: Concentus Musicus Wien

2005.10.15, performing a German opera by Antonio Salieri at the Musikverein in Vienna

To champion this
Two hundred year old music,
Pray to white, cold God.

Bad Rock Haiku #25: The Dirty Three

2005.10.08, at Neumo's

Do not, even now.
(Drum and fiddle's rugged twine.)
Do not sing at all.

Bad Rock Haiku #24: The Frames

2005.10.04, at the Showbox

If the light goes down
And what's right goes right, the sound
And the light goes round.

Bad Rock Haiku #23: Fiery Furnaces

2005.10.03, at Neumo's

Fetching Eleanor,
Warbling the endless song
Using a cheat sheet.

Double-Booked December

I'm in the unfortunate predicament of having to decide between attending the wedding of a good friend (in the Caribbean, no less) or playing an already-booked show in San Francisco with Starlet.  Ian kindly passed along a visual aid.

Negative Fridays via OSX

Today I stumbled across a tip that hitting ctrl-option-apple-8 flips OSX into an inverted mode where the entire screen is a negative image of itself.  People turn blue!  Shadows become backlights!  It's like driving your own tacky, souped-up, underlit Honda all over the internet.

For me, all Fridays from here on out are Negative Fridays.
