Let's Wrestle Tanks.... and Win

Sac Spokesmen (aka 'Old Spolks') cover song challenge is quickly becoming due. The song is Tanks by Let's Wrestle. The due date is April 30, 2010. Things are getting pretty tense around here. I've even printed out the lyrics.

Know your cog

After ordering the wrong bike cog not once, but TWICE, I finally have arrived at a faster, better, stronger fixie. I'm not really excited about stopping cause it just wants to GO. Maybe Toast can run a workshop on the hipster jump and skid move...

On an unrelated note, Edmund Bedford's latest cover song is now posted for streaming. STYLAPHONE!

Beneficiaries play Rock-It Room

The Beneficiaries is Bill and Blake. Bill from Sac Spokesmen acclaim. Blake claiming all of San Francisco. Blake is a mathematician by the way. He likes Jonathan Richman's late period. Weird. So Beneficiaries had their 3rd open mic stint. The first two took place in Stockton at a coffee place that puns on the theatre it is housed in. I forget the pun, and therefore forget the name of the place. But Rock-It Room is in San Francisco in the district of emmmm, I don't know. I got there at 9:15pm, right after The Beneficiaries played. But the open mic policy is that you can play twice. TWICE! So around the strike of 12:00, the second set was performed. Two quick songs were applied, assured and easy, like a good deodorant. They surf-iachied through a 3 minute instro which elicited several cheers of joy (unless that was just the girls at the pool table making a shot). The Beneficiaries finished the evening strong and fragrant, like a familiar perfume, with a sweet ode to ex-love and a hummable chorus. When asked for a summation of the night from Andersert, it would be "no more 10 year Scotch - nothing younger than 16 for me". If someone can find a picture of the little boy in Desperado playing the guitara, please replace the image above. Salma was cool 10 years ago, but now she's on 30Rock and her chest is a parody of itself.
