Here's the good news

Thank god. Why was everyone saying the Defektors were broken up in the first place, anyway? I want them to come to Victoria so bad. I would even break out of my self-imposed show-booking hiatus to put on a show for Defektors, if they would only take me up on the offer.

Speaking of bands that Jeremiah Haywood plays in, Twin Crystals were great last night. Packed--like kippers in a wartime tin can--in Duncan's bunker of a basement (bodies floor to ceiling/ little to no head room/ air heavy with animal oils--sweat), most people could barely see a thing, but it was still pretttttttty good. Listened to them again while standing in line at Lucky Bar two hours later. According to Johnnie Regalado, in a spectacular climax, the Crystal's gear broke on stage, they tried to fix it while finishing the song, and then fucked it all, announcing they were "done" and leaving the stage. I have been listening to the record all morning.

Uh, oh yeah, go to this...
