fully loaded
live music sets
in the month of May
“you’re crazy.”
“that, is crazy.”
“that’s insane.”
glen says, “that’s
an addiction.”
it is mind,boggling.
i am crazy
and i’m 45
89 is not separate
bands,
separate full sets
from beginnings
to ends
89 in May
is crazy
is insane
is madness
is an addiction
what am i trying to prove?
that i’m not getting too old for this?
(but i am)
89 does not
include the partial sets
“the just missed beginnings
so they don’t count sets”
add another 15
or so.
i work full time.
i get up for work at
6:30 AM
Monday to Friday
until June 30
and then,
the insanity really begins!
the Eugenius of it all,
all 89
my plan tonight
Monday June 1st
is to take it easy
no John Fogerty
(i’d love to)
writing and reading
and then
i receive a facebook
message from Jack
(of Novillero),
The Lo Pub,
The Paint Movement
play tonight
and i’m listening
to their myspace,
Faults, the type
of pop music, bright
and
alive that makes
me wanna dance
and i’m
weakening.
The Weakerthans!
strength
battle the addiction
against PoP
and dance
89
and the best show of May
(that i saw)
Monotonix.
“a legendary show,”
says robbie.
he was there.
so was Mike.
and Kim. Matt.
Zenon/Aviva.
and about 70 others.
and no more.
at The Pyramid.
Monotonix
Rox.
and brings us
The Audience
into the experience
the show
the performance
the dance
the art of it
and the artifice of it
it’s post modern
it is Now
it is immediate,
we’re roadies
we’re lifters
we’re participants
(don’t even have to keep
our pants on,
Levi didn’t).
the show that i thought was
going to be The Best of May,
Romi Mayes and the Weber Brothers
was undeniably Hot.
(although, mike would disagree)
the other hotties,
The Wind Ups

Braggarts and Pepper Laing
and the Lonestar Killers

i’m hoping June
will be a little more sane
a little less
hopping around
dancing around
but then again,

begins during the last week
of June. my last week
of school…
