Pillow FIght!

The rules of Pillow Fight are as follows:

1) Tell everyone you know about Pillow Fight!

2) Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW about Pillow Fight!!!

3) Nothing in your pillow but pillow.

4) Don’t hit anyone without a pillow.

5) Don’t hit anyone operating a camera.

Witnessing a sea of people at the stoke of 6pm dislodge their pillows and go full force at each other was quite a spectacle.

Superbowl is Superlame

What a let down for Superbowl commericals. I can honestly say there wasn't a commerical that stood out in my mind this year. Although I exacerbated the situation instead by directing more focus to shoveling food and beer down my throat than actually watching the game. I later passed out on the carpet from sensory overload midway through the game, I think. The events blurred together in a haze of nachos and selected import beers. On the plus side I did happen to walk away with $10 from my friend's Superbowl pool, which was surprising due to my incredible lack of football knowledge. Here is my favorite commerical from 2007. I totally want this guy to play my party. I bet he goes off.

Wooden Shjips




Drug Rug

Brief show recap: Autolux was deafeningly loud and fucking cool, no banter just layers of noise and feedback,they threw their instruments down and walked off when they were through. no thanks. I haven't seen them since 2005 and I recall them putting on a good set but this time around they completely blew my ears away, I was not prepared. Drug Rug was also very good too. I usually hate opening bands but I was pleasantly surprised by their upbeat, poppy, country stomp. Wooden Shjips were good, as usual. I am working on a full review that will go up on soma soon.
