So why did the Chills write a song about it? stupid starfucking anecdote #1548: I may have mentioned this before, but Steven Malkmus frequents the bar trivia night I attend on Tuesdays, and last night my friends were daring me to either a) tongue-kiss him or b) grab his ass. The latter was a tempting option, but I settled for tapping him on the back while we walked by him, which probably really annoyed him. Good. anyway, n. p.s. Eb, Joanna Bolme is usually there, too. She looks great, if I may say so in an appreciative heterosexual kind of way. One or more Sleater-Kinney girls also attend.

She bumped into him at a Fulham home game last Saturday, which is when he told her that the band were no more. Mr Seligman wore Fulham shirts at a few Soft Boys gigs.

See you on 7th April! I must say I am embittered, albeit not surprised, at the Soft Boys suddenly lurching to a halt. I thought that the 50th birthday set was almost aggressively non-Soft Boys ('I got the hots' on solo acoustic guitar?
