Pretty Girls Make Graves played LA this last Saturday... which would've been nice to know about that more than 3 hours before showtime but alas it was not to be. Then again, if I did know beforehand I may've tried to drive out directly after paintball... which would've been bad considering how sore I currently am without 11 hours of driving (not to mention several hours of standing/etc. in one place.)
And anyway, all I have to do is wait until March and PGMG will come to the Mason Jar in Phoenix. Then again, that's where they were supposed to play last time (the show was cancelled.) Thus far I've seen them twice... but not yet in Phoenix.
Until then I have the Thermals, PSO playing Beethoven and Schumann, Modest Mouse, PSO playing Mozart and Brahms and then Bettie Serveert. And maybe a few local shows with Budget or Colorstore. And then, maybe, comes SXSW and maybe Low. And then it's almost Coachella time.
Also, Z, if you're interested PGMG are playing LaunchPad the day after they're at the Jar, March 16... after that they move on to South By Southwest. Bettie Serveert are also playing Launchpad the day after Phoenix (02/28)... no Thermals or Mouse. Or Phoenix Symphony Orchestra (surprising, that... though you, of course, have the NMSO.)
Also, that bit about finishing that book by tomorrow... not going to happen. I'm, like, a quarter of the way through. It's good, but, umm, I've been lazy.
And yes, it is silly to link to the song by the Smiths but I can't find anything with more than a line or two ("I'd also gone through an entire year of celibacy based on my feelings that lust was the direct cause of birth which was the direct cause of suffering and death and I had really no lie come to point where I regarded lust as offensive and even cruel." "Pretty girls make graves" was my saying) of the quote from the Dharma Bums and they used it first. Also their (PGMG's) website is pretty bare-bones right about now.
