Accolades
Posted by John
Of course we care what you think. What you think is important in so many ways. When you stand with your arms folded we try to act like we don’t care. We dominate our broken hearts with minds of steel.
And on those nights perhaps someone comes up and says, “lame audience tonight,” or something like that, we die a little bit inside, because we know that maybe we could have made the audience not lame somehow.
But when someone says to us, “you are one of the best new bands of 2009 and will play a big show at First Ave with other best new bands of 2009,” we get thrilled. Just like we would have.
Come and see The Best New Bands of 2009 at First Avenue January 15 2010 where we will be among those very best of 2009. And in Minneapolis/Saint Paul there are annually over 3000 band births/year, so don’t act like it doesn’t matter Mr Arms-Folded!
In other words, we’re not dead… yet. Some might even suggest we’ve just been born. Come and see for yourself.

I was out shopping, picked up a City Pages, headline on cover “THE YEAR IN MUSIC” featuring their picks of the best albums of 2009…

Wonderful review…I giggle at the opening sentence about “easy listening”....
Is this really happening… I feel like I’m in a dream…and it’s a good one…

Nice find, Spike, or should I say Yukon Cornelius. Bumbles bounce…
Wow, TTH at First Ave. A match made in heaven. Can’t wait.

“Stereo Night is further evidence that these former Trip Shakespeare bandmates were beamed down to this planet for the sole purpose of making music with one another.”
I love that!

Spike is smarter than Yukon. Yukon licks metal in sub-zero temps.
Congrats, John.

Dammit! You bamboozeled me into thinking you had a terrible show! And for a fleeting moment.. I was happy! I wanted you to be miserable. Because I am drying up here in the western desert. Texting to you on my little itelephone as it gushes your glorious sunshine through this disenchantingly impotent ghetto blaster peice-of-shit speaker stack. I want you to feel lonely, hopeless, away ...anything! Anything aproaching what drove me to do this at 5:30 in the morning. Cos I doubt ill ever get your freakin attention, you big shot mid western SOBs!
