Talking Sweet About Nothing

Classes start tomorrow and I arbitrarily set that date as the offical end of my craptastic summer, and as if simply to spite me, the gods of summer today decided to deal me a death blow. Today I learned that Pixies are playing a club show in Baltimore on the same night that Avec is scheduled to play a local show. So, not only will I miss my favorite band on the planet playing an intimate club show, but Avec is pretty much guaranteed an empty house at The Ottobar, as anyone with remotely good taste in music will be at said Pixies show. DAMMOUGH!

In other news, this has been making me laugh for the last few days. The group is called The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative and their charity-benefit single is "Do They Know It's Halloween?" (click here for the full lyrics and a who's who of participants). David Cross during the interlude is my personal favorite.
