On this day, the last

[darksally]

One of the few bands to whom I display an embarassingly dorkish devotion will be playing their very last show ever and I mean ever at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland tonight. I was hoping against hopes that they might make a miraculous appearance at Homo Agogo because nothing would make my urethral cups overfloweth more than the idea of seeing

I forgot that last show was tonight, an' I fuckin live here. I like The Woods but I essentially stopped paying attention to 'em a few years ago. Given what they've become (emblematically, and locally-- not even necessarily their personal preference), I think the breakup was probably a pretty swift move.

The breakup didn't surprise me in the least. They were a completely different band nine years ago and, for the most part, the changes have not been bad ones.

That was not a pun.

A bunch of my friends HATED The Woods because all of those lovely, fuzzy, feedback-laden tracks made for a very different sort of concert experience. It's a cool bunch of songs but you can't mosh to "Let's Call It Love" now can you?

[darksally]

And, incidentally, "Turn It On" makes me want to kick things over and laugh like a crazy person.

Exactly why it's the first one I thought of. Dig Me Out is a pretty good album, but that track outdoes the rest.

I can see how The Woods wouldn't make for the most manic live show. The last time I saw 'em was whenever One Beat came out. At the Crystal. The swarms of hyper teenage girls sort of did in my desire to keep seeing 'em. I didn't even plan on getting The Woods until even my most jaded anti-SK friends told me they were kinda impressed by it.

they must be a unit. what about the children? who will take patty out to the school bus? OH I GUESS WE'LL JUST LET HER STAND IN THE RAIN NOW WON'T WE. fuck!

[darksally]

Do not cry, dear Brinker, for I will comfort you with chocolate, bad poetry, and bad innuendo.

Once, a lassie named Beebo
Donned the sassiest glasses in Toledo
Till a banshee named Corin
Screamed "BEEBS, PUT DOWN THAT AXE!"
Then Sally said, fuck it, let's dance.

On the other hand, I make a killer hot chocolate.
