What the F*CK is with this Kn-n-n[spitting on self]itting Factory!???! Knitting Factory. I mean, I've been going to shows for about 10 years now and I can't seem to recall a band *ever* cancelling, and we're not talking the Who or the Stones here. Now I find this wonderfully miserable place *advertising* bands I really want to see, first Tav Falco, ok, mebbe *he's* not the most reliable joe on the block... NOW, Crime and the City Solution cancels, I mean, once, ok, twice, something is *seriously* wrong here. I'm really developing a strong dislike for this place, forget about the fact that it's probably the most annoying place to see a band, two set bs, it's small and awkward, forget that they advertise bands that don't show, bands I *really* want to see, Knitting f*cking Charity is more like it, they've got about 30 bucks of my money, and for all intensive purposes I've gotten nothing... Ok Tav Falco, I kinda coulda got my money back, no biggie, Now I get the line, "Ohhh, sorry, they canceled two days ago [then get the message off your f*cking machine that I called today, I woulda wasted my money at home, instead of dragging my exhausted *ss all the way out there], if you want you can get your money back from ticket master [errrrrRRR], alright give me a drink tic and I'll see what this Miracle Room is all about, [wow they're playing two sets for people who want to spend 5 bucks, to make up for the no show, wowwwwww, now about my 14. It's not the money tho, no big deal at all, it's the whole idea here]. Ok Miracle Room was seriously interesting, and would have been the perfect opener for C+CS, attack of the homemade instruments, unusual, stranger stuff, but still it's not what I wuz looking for the whole deal, ya know.... So I listened for their first set, and it didn't quite dissapate the extreme annoyance of the whole scene. Twas a rip off....

On a brighter front, listened to Sadie's Mexican Rumble, a total p*sser volks, and yet another reason to join this net... I wouldn't have a quarter of a clue where to find this to even give a listen, and while that's that's probably as far as I'll take it, it's definately, most absolutely worth a serious listen. Mexican Garage, extraordinary stuff.. A lot of U.S. garage classics, then there's Kung F Fighting!?! Mother's Litle Helper!?! [I couldn't help but think they thought the song wuz about Maids, huh huh huh, shame on me Mike], "In this dirty old heart of *de* city"!!!!!! Really, classic stuff, and a real treat, mucho mucho fun! Check it out!

Knitting Factory! BLECH! Mexican Rumble! YeaY!
