At first I didn’t like the lineup because I thought there might be overlap with funday bands, but apparently HAP and Camper decided not to submit anything for funday? except camper did so uh not sure about Los ęłk, they’re probably playing fun day (s g iza my niza emailed the bands today, but didn’t say who the winners were in the loser emails :(.
Anyway, the tang party is gonna be sick this year with this lineup. SGA go suck a fuck!
Colin Manjoney ‘13 to Release Cassette, Is Soviet Traitor
Slinking our way down to the Big Gym for the Big Show, my colleague and myself, after sorely shelling out $10 for tickets that could have been half as much if we had not been the lazy underachievers we are, I overheard a rasp from my right. “Hey dudes,” the voice grated, stopping us in our tracks like a whistle does a pretty girl. We turned to face another degenerate, much like ourselves, bloodshot eyes peering over his glasses, face begging for me to hold him down and carve off his scraggly facial hair with whatever surgical tool I could locate the fastest. We gave the poor creature our societally required “Oh, hey,” but before the “h” of “hey” even fully lunged out of our throats, he reached into his pocket and slid out a mysterious parcel. Fearing it to be a knife, I instinctively reached to throw my colleague in front of me as a shield, but luckily for him out of this sleeve the degenerate pulled out not a knife but rather a cassette tape, that obsolete device of yore that now only exists on clearance rack belts at Rue 21. We nodded in feigned comprehension as he muttered something about releasing these sometime soon and a record label in Moscow. While he looked down for a moment to gaze upon his sacred rectangle, we ran for our lives.
So, uh, I guess Colin Manjoney ‘13 is releasing some cassettes soon, along with a possible digital download through some label in Moscow?
Uhhh well….that was fun

HAP Album Corners Out NOW!
It’s here and it sounds just as sick as you would expect. Listen and hey, maybe even throw these guys a few bucks. They deserve it.
NEW Trackz by Arugula Oglethorpe
The eastern sea cave that I record music in has gotten a bit full lately so I thought I’d release two tracks that have been gathering dust in my itunes for a month. I will sporadically add more tracks to the album over the next few months when I finish them. Check back often for new music doodz.

BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!11!! at Falstaff’s
Thursday at 8. 10 minute sets. Winner plays Earth Day Festival on April 20th. The stakes are high.
The bands:
Bedfellows: Beautiful folk rock by Beatlemore vets. Oh and they have a single!
Bob Villain: Some sort of synth-y, hop-hoppy stuff. Unforuntately I couldn’t make it to their debut show at Oak D last weekened, but apparently it was pretty cool.
Bo Peep and the Funk Sheep: Get funky. They killed it opening for Evolfo Doofeht and have played Fun Day, Beatlemore, and much more. Word is that a single is coming out in a few weeks as well.
Good Neighbor: Sweet jazz-funk featuring three freshmen. An all-around very talented group that will be sure to have you tapping your feet. Groovy, man.
Spare Tires: Funk emo? Post-grunge jam band? Some other equally strange combination of genres? Also, they need a bassist, so uh yeah.
Trophy Wives: People at Skidmore dread math, but they really shouldn’t dread math rock. Their recently released EP is super tight and shows off some serious beauty and technical skill.
Tucker Connelly: Pop-folk singer-songwriter Tucker Connelly will now be backed by a full band. I’m excited to hear what they do with his frequently emo-tinted, catchy, hooky folk rock anthems.
Yo Soy Milk: Isn’t Seamus in jail or something?
Come rock out.
