you NO it!

NO FUN

It's that time again, jerks...

vaginas + guitars = love 4 evar

(It's a video day today. Deal, yo. If you read this blog, you like music.)




Lately I'm feeling empowered and dripping with hot, sweaty, oozing estrogen, in my own sort of lady-dude kind of way. Me and all my coyote-girls have been shredding our fingers on fresh guitar strings, slut-walking all over the world, pushing ahead, pushing through, keeping our heads above water, and raising fucking hell. This post is dedicated to all of them.

My tits are swollen, my pussy's roarin', my eyelashes will cut your throat and my lips are shouting for more more MORE, and sooooo:



✝ girlschool ✝ (motorhead's bffs <3)



✝ the cramps ✝
poison ivy has to be the biggest dreamboat on the planet. that sneer! that smarmy charm! that gum-smacking mouth! that couldn't-give-a-fuck way she plays!... I could write an entire entry about her. perhaps I will.

Honourable mention goes to the White Stripes for every single album they've ever recorded.

that's entertainment!

I just heard this story on the radio about this band - whose name I won't bother mentioning because they suck hard - who, before they were signed, went to a stop on the Vans Warped Tour and set up a generator outside of the venue where the lineup was, and just started played their songs. Apparently a record company exec heard them and things snowballed from there.

Man, that's pretty cool, I have to say. If you're determined enough to go somewhere with your music, pulling gutsy moves like that is fucking awesome and more bands should do shit like this.
Hey, if you love your band enough and think you deserve to get a record deal, and if you love music enough, then why be bashful? Go all the way, pull out all the stops. Don't just be a pussy and play in shitty clubs on the weekends with all the same people watching you and expect something to happen for you. Make moves. Be grand. Don't be a wimp - create your own hype.

the master plan!

I can't believe I'm seriously missing Cheap Trick on Friday night.
I'm feeling slightly suicidal over this. Just kidding, but I'm ridiculously bummed. They're playing Hawk Rocks The Park on Friday night... and I don't have tickets, AND I have to work until 10.

So here's the plan, are you ready? Someone is going to get me a ticket for just the Friday portion of the festival, and then you're going to put on a black wig and a skirt, and go to work for me - the old switcheroo! No one will ever know, IT'S GENIUS.
After Cheap Trick is done and my life is complete, I'll come back and you will be free to take off your wig and go see Pat Benetar play.


Sound good? Okay then.

detroit rock city can KISS my ass.

(credit goes to my lovely partner in being-victim-to-crime, Holly, for that genius blog title.)

So, I just hung up the phone after trying to through to the Detroit Police Crime Reporting Department, because what's the use?

Long story very, very short, Holly, Kendra and I went on a spontaneous road trip to Detroit last night to go see The Long Blondes at the Magic Stick, and had a terrific night - great music, dancing, cute bartender filling the drinks up halfway with vodka - only to find afterwards that Holly's car had been broken into. The smashed in the passenger side front window and do you want to know what those motherfuckers stole? They left her expensive boots, they left her faceplate for her stereo... but stole a handful of cds (probably 8 or so), 80% of which were MIXED, BURNED CDS! What an asshole!

So that kind of put a damper on the evening, but once we got over the initial shock we were just glad that we were all okay and everything... and then when we made a pit stop so I could pee and try and eat something to make up for my lack of eating dinner that night, I discovered that my wallet was... well, definitely not in my purse. It was long gone. I felt really violated for some reason. Everything was in there: my driver's license, credit card, debit card, sin card, birth certificate, ymca card, air miles card, optimum card, health card, chapters discount card, all kind of business cards from friends, a gift certificate for Cineplex Odeon, about $30, and about $40 worth of bus tickets (which is one of the things that ticked me off the most), and most of all, the lucky scarab beetle that my mom gave me. I'm really bummed about that.

Been spending most of the morning calling around, cancelling things and getting replacement cards sent to me, and whatever. Just a big pain in the ass.

Aside from all of the crime, I had an awesome night with those girls, and it was really fun to just jet out of town on a whim... I'm totally into that.
Holly and I decided that the bad luck on this trip wouldn't put a damper on our road trip spirits... next time we are just going to arrive much much earlier in order to find a more well-lit, right-in-front-of-the-bar parking spot.
And David tells me that we are to take a member of the male species with us next time. So, any male chaperones who like rock'n'roll?

Oh, and I flashed a trucker on the way home. Just to lighten the mood.
