#88 More Like Lame Jam

I haven't actually listened to Pearl Jam's new album yet, so I have no idea if it good or not, I just found it perplexing that they, above all other 90's rockers, would sign an exclusive contract with a big box store. Say it ain't so Eddy, say it ain't so!

I went to Riot Fest in Chicago on Sat. It was pretty much a bag of red gummy bears (red are my favorite, so that means it was awesome.) I finally got to see Off With their Heads perform; well worth the wait. The pit for Cock Sparrer was surprisingly manageable for being composed of about 83% skin heads, and Fat Mike dressed up like a clown for NOFX's set… which was fitting on a number of levels. My only real complaint is that I missed the Dead Milkmen. But their show sold out even before I bought my ticket for Sat, so what are you gonna do. Besides, if I'm going to do this whole punk rock thing I have to have SOMETHING to bitch and moan about, otherwise people will thing I'm posing… well, I mean, more then they do already.

Hopefully I'll have another strip up for Friday. Stay tuned!
