Are you out there?

Dear Lost Souls,

We should have some new posts coming soon by people other than me (hopefully), but in the meantime I wanted to give a heads up on this week's shows. Tonight at 123 Pleasant, Nakano will be playing with David Bello and Sebastian and a touring act called Isobella. Isobella are evidently a shoegazer act, and have been compared to the Cocteau Twins and Slowdive, which has been my bread n butter since '95, so go and make me feel bad for missing it. Thanks, employer of mine. I caught David Bello & his merry band last weekend again and their songs just get more catchy each time. My offer of Jager shots for Baptiss Blacktick covery still stands, but I have to be there, boys. Also M. Iafrate will be lending his musical skieelz to Nakano, and Aaron Hess will be screening a short film beforehand, so arrive early and ready to revel.

And Thursday, for those of you unwilling or unable to pay the $14-17 to see Bob Mould, there's a band called Valencia playing at Fuel. I don't know what they sound like, but Mark Miller of Bowling League is setting it up, so it's reasonable to think it will be quite good. Show starts at 9, they play around 10:30 or 11.

Before I end this post, I'm curious as to just how many people actually read this blog. We have plans to redesign it and start flyering around campus to get more readers. Eventually. If you're reading this message, give us a shout in the comments and we'll see how many people are awake.
