“Who knows what the future holds?” he ponders. “I envision an army of mini-John Darnielles forming a non-NHL hockey league with parity between owners and players, worker-friendly ticket prices, and severe penalties for icing the puck intentionally — you buncha sissies, you!”

Well, I went to the show, but it wasn’t my favorite. The bands I saw (Helio Sequence and Secret Machines) were good, so it could have been a fun show; but the crowd sort of sucked. There do exist some scenesters in SoFla after all, but they were at a Kings of Leon [...]

Don’t tell anyone (DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT SECRET MEANS?), but The Secret Machines seem to be playing in Ft. Lauderdale tonight. The venue is “Revolutions” or “Armed Insurrections” or “Bloodless Coup’s” or “Bloody Coup’s” or “Freedom Fights” or some harmless-but-cool term.

I don’t like to talk about it, but I have a MySpace account because a girl at a concert once asked me if I had one and I didn’t. I still got her number, but, you know, I figured I should still sign up. I don’t use it except to accept people who [...]

Long-time fans will know that every once in a while, I’ll listen to a song or two. Occasionally, I’ll even list them together to make what has become known as a “playlist.” I know, I know: it’s tough to figure out, but you’ll get the hang of it.
