Quick Thoughts

• Seattle local band The Earaches sound good. Check them out.

• Arctic Monkey’s The View From The Afternoon video is outstanding.

• Beirut had to cancel their fall tour only 5 weeks in due to exhaustion of member Zach, who was hospitalized.

The next morning Zach got lost in the Louvre. “Cubism is a farce,” he whispered to a overweight Dutch tourist. Under the English Channel, en route to London, Zach noted the relative comfort of being “chunneled”. In a dank Soho apothecary he sought a remedy for exhaustion and aversion to French bedbugs. The apothecary tried vainly to quote Prince Charles recent royal address to the greater public of Britian: “In light of having seen my wife unrobed and wigless in the disingenuous florescent light of a cheap hotel room, I do apologize to the nation and myself for unquestioning faith in her eternal beauty. She is old and ugly and so am I.” That is funny Zach dourly noted, but it does not help me at all not one bloody bit. “I must return to New Mexico to decompress.” Parliament was eerily quiet. One cannot argue with the plain truth.

Check out Beirut
