SHELLAC plays next Thursday at the Black Cat—as the bloggers say, Aaron Leitko gets it exactly right. I'm sore about missing Beirut last night at the Warehouse—when I arrived before doors' opening there was already a line around the block, and they're no Charming Hostess or anything so I wasn't inclined to wait to try my chances, but if I'd shown some patience, my latecoming friends who got inside tell me, I'd've been able to see them—but I won't be so careless about lining up for Shellac. SHEL-LAC: Invite it in through pursed lips, loll it around on your tongue, punctuate it with a guttural stop like a crash symbol.
Posted by Kriston at August 24, 2006 3:01 PMdon't fret: beirut probably wasn't worth waiting on line for. i've seen him once in NY. he's cute and all, but let's give him some time to mature. the shellac folks could be his parents, after all.
p.s. do you mean "crash cymbal"? if not, it's a good pun.

If you'll excuse me I'm going to rock out to my memories of "Prayer to God".

It looks as if Shellac is back. You don't have to rock out to mere memories now, B-Wo.
