This is all just a prelude to the inevitable Screech porn, which will come out in commemorative allegedly 10" laser disc. "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer." -- Mitch Hedberg "For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk. And we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together. To build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking. And it's greatest failures by NOT talking. It doesn't have to be like this! Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. -- Stephen W. Hawking . Tired of spam? Yahoo!

This isn't one of their quiet introspective tours -- it's the antidote to "Eels With Strings". Smoosh are a not bad at all. They seem a little nervous on stage when they were playing, but they were pogoing around with Eels at the finale encore.

The last time was awhile back, but I've seen "Screech" twice in my local area. One time was at a grocery store, only about three miles away from home. If he was buying his milk and eggs so nearby, I guess he must have been living pretty close to me! (The other time was a major shopping mall, a few miles further away.) I made a funny discovery last night. I've been shuffling through my secondhand-bought vinyl for a silly personal project which I may mention later, and I had been pulling out records around the "R" range. I had just refiled another handful of records and had pulled out another pile, when I noticed something fallen on the ground: A JOINT! Apparently one of my used record jackets has been hiding CONTRABAND all these years, and I never discovered this until now! What kills me is that because I was going through multiple records, I don't know WHICH album was carrying it. Argh. :) The offending item is so old that smoking it would produce no more results than smoking a corner of an album sleeve.....
