VOTE

City elections for Mayor and City Council members are TODAY, so please go vote. If you saw how pathetic the turnout for the primary was (I think I've seen more people at a basement show..), you should understand that every vote will definitely count in this election, and making our voices and desires heard could really change a number of things about our city. Get out there and do it! And tell your friends too! And everyone you see! PLEASE!

School Girl

Before Apache Dropout left town after playing at the Skihouse last Thursday, they recorded a song with David Allen in the Skihouse basement. Here it is, pulled of the old analog 8-track. Hear that mono sound!

Skinny Saturday

Skinny Jim is playing at Hangar 9 tonight, and they'll have new bass dude Bob Shaw (It Burns, ZUUL) with them. Also playing is Rob Jacobs & his ensemble, if you didn't get the chance to see them play through the big 'ol PA when they played there last month, it is quite a treat.
