This has been a most joyous day indeed; sets of weird krap... Good News komes to those who read this n bear with me. If i sound longwided its cos my all time idol not only discussed issues with me, but befriended me, which is perhaps something that not often happens. First of all, I found out today that thee Cassettes were playing at UMW today, which psyched me up muchly. Cassettes have as their leading member Shelby Cinca of Frodus [RIP] fame (and more recently Decahedron [RIP] acclaim], and as Shelby Cinca is my number 1 musical hero I was quite pumped. Except that I thought these fellows played indie rock of thee pleasant boring variety, which is what all thee mp3s have sounded like before. However, i got thee krazy idea to buy a cassette deck n tapes to rekkerd shelby saying "no sunlite for the media", but right before thee show started, i realized that AA batteries do not exist in my room, Jana's room, nor any other roomates' krap at here. So, i biked to Giant, bought batteries, and was sprinting accross thee highway when thee light turned green. I didn't know what to do, and a car did not see me and kept driving at me. I had to start actually biking away from my death to avoid getting hit by kontinuing to kross. It was really skary and I flipped out, and still flip out. I got a second chance to live by popping thee tire over thee curb, far outside of thee walkway and after i should have died. God wants me to do something, and I at least needed to live tonite. And here's what. Show up at thee klub, 8 30. My lyrixccx are flowin'... Shelby Cinca recognizes me from thee fugazi/decaheron days as that guy with an extremely prolific amount of music, i mention my and teds names n he goes oh yeah! It was swell cos he immediately asked if i was up to any new music, and i of course pulled out 2 of our albums from my pockets (fi-lo hop-hip and kollege than better 1). Shelby was really excited that I had stuff, he says he loves NSFTM and that its great we have so many ideas. I point that "infected by a virus" has ted rapping, he kalls me and ted "the team". He was really into ktb1's liner notes especially "pitchfork will not lead us". We discussed this at length, as well as frodus' demise, blah blah i could go on forever about how nervous i was n how generous he was to be talking to me for half an hour when his band n a bunch of people were in thee klub. Thee point: he kontinues to subvert...he kontinues to think Frodus-like. Then, thee cassettes. No longer just Shelby fronting Dead Meadow, thee Cassettes mk 2 are bunches of old guys playing railroad style folk with steel guitars, mouth harps, kiddie drums, upright bass, accordion, and a flipping 60 year old THEREMIN player on; all of these instruments featured on every tune. Except when thee drummer pushes a chair through thee audience drumming on top of krap and honking a bike horn. Shelby announces thee history of a theremin, decides that thee environment reminds him of a Las Vegas casino and talks that way, spontaneous covers Elvis, pretends to shoot thee accordion player who acts as if he is a "burglar in thee bungalow", and generally spazzes out in a far more bizarre manner than before. Thee Cassettes have yet to put out their new rekkerd (its actually going to be a cassette) but it will surely be thee greatest thing known to mankind. I'm hyping this now so Pitchfork kan suck Clap yr hands' nipples while we listen to railroad punk jams from thee hands of old men. By far thee best live show i've ever seen (save NSFTM at 3 places: WMUC, UMW and Tea House 3, but those don't count right?). So, here's where it gets krazy n Shelby starts going nuts and i realize that he is EXTREMELY similar to rtx-John. He is John in so many ways. I ask him to speak for my tape rekkerder, and he starts to talk about really weird stuff like vines n tea n then he gets arthur, thee bald theremin genius to talk to me about mousaka n kream cheese n hamburger highways. This will of course be nsftm's newest endeavor - "cassette mixes"! Shelby then demands that i bring a copy of ktb1 to thee owner of Magic Bullet Records who happens to be in attendance; so i gather thee noise n deliver it. This guy is famous for being in Corn on Macabre as well as running thee label which first put out Boysetsfire's First EP. Shelby promises that i'll be allowed to be on thee Cassettes' new live album, and he wants me to send a remix of my rekkerding of his n arthurs insane rambling, saying that i should rap in thee middle of it. I hope ted, mikey, trippy, ev, heck everyone (josh, martha, even flipping Jana or pick, why not CRAY???) get a chance to lay down a rap for this. He says i can play this tape while they perform at WMUC dec 19 (thats right, look at this theme... Shelby WMUC 1, NSFTM WMUC 2, then NSFTM/Shelby WMUC 3)! Oh DIP! Thee evening culminates with Shelby getting a photograph of me, saying he loves my wu shirt n that we are "best buds". I think i could say that its a dang good thing i didnt die by that kar, cos now its been ridiculous. I not only met, spoke with, discussed, gave me demo to, n photographed with my hero, but we are friends? How this works? Longwinded n about as emotional as i'll ever get, ever. It's been a wild day goodnite. I hope someone gets somewhere near as excited as I got. |

That rules! Ted and I went to see the Cassettes at the Black Cat a month or two ago - that bald dude is my favorite rock star ever. He taught me how his instrument worked down to the most minute of details. Kill bugs!

dude its all real! you gots to chex thee cassettes man! frodus = success in paranoia. shelby was talking about how frodus broke up cos when weapons was released it was too extreme for thee indie kids but all thee hc scene hated em cos they werent screaming as much. like that was what defined frodus anyway!?!?! and now everyone gets mad props for sounding like a krappy version of frodus, bands that admit to have ripped em off (im looking especially at you blood brothers, but also dillinger escape plan, etc.). also, i will give you kopies of this krazy monologue i got on tape. you gotta return at some point or some dizzle! we got so much material to provide for you! |
