Kurtrteaux is an old man now

I was at Tower Records today not searching for a birthday gift for my brother. There, I was flipping through Alternative Press and found an interview with my former bandmates. It’s nice to know that they are finally getting some recognition. Oh yeah, their new record came out a few weeks ago and is pretty solid even if they did rework a few old Conways tunes.

So today is Kurt’s birthday, and unless Kelly has managed to rein him in a bit, I can only assume that he is somewhere getting trashed since he won’t return my phone calls.

When I last spoke to him a few days ago, he mentioned that he was into this band called Bear Vs. Shark. They are different that Gorilla Vs. Bear and also We Versus The Shark. They are mildly hardcore in a very indie sorta way. I thought that he might like them as well. Their latest record is out on Hello Sir Records.

Test Icicles are have been called England’s answer to the Blood Brothers, but they are only tangentially related. Both bands belt out spastic art(hard)core, but what Test Icicles lack in brutality they more than make up for in danceability. Their is a certain sexual quality about many of the tunes. Just call em testicles.

    Actually, Sucka, I didn’t really do shit – just hang out. Today I’m going mountain biking, so I’m pumped for that.
    I think the next album I’m going to get is Neil Diamond’s new one. Bet you didn’t expect that.
