Concerts September 9-21 +special mention, bonus empty wit!

This is what I do when I'm not wandering around campus pretending to write about A.J.M. Smith's poem "The Lonely Land" in all the glory of its three published versions between 1926 and 1929: I turn into a shitty blogger with nothing to say but I say it anyway.

Friday September 14
Jolene Pollard, Brett Frankson
The Solstice Cafe
8-10pm, doors 7:30
Prolly pretty cute. Prolly pretty chill. Prolly you should go.

Friday, September 21
Away, Ri'o!, Germans, Beasts and Superbeasts
Logan's Pub
10:30, doors 9pm
Yo, resist the temptation to see the Next Big Things (Handsome Furs and Johnny and the Moon) and go to this shows because Germans are awesome. But maybe you've seen Beasts and Superbeasts recently enough, and you're not friends with Away, Ri'o! I don't even know what I'm going to do that night... Maybe I'll just hide and do neither.

Handsome Furs, Johnny and the Moon
Lucky Bar
9pm
Buy advance tickets at Ditch and drink a lot of beer beforehand and tell all those kids from your hometown that you saw them before they really blew up.

*Sunday October 7
The Weakerthans, The Last Town Chorus
Sugar
8pm
I should be more psyched on the Weakerthans, I just should be. I like them, I've just never taken the time to really get into them. I guess if I paid $20 for Holy Fuck, I can shell out for the Weakerthans and Last Town Chorus? I realize that what I've just said sounds terrible. But as much as I love seeing live music, one must be a little discriminating at times.

Right now I am really into Hormones in Abundance's song "Bad Songs, Bad People."
