Time Fades Away: Saturnine on Tour circa 1995 (aka ‘Diaries of a Closet-Case’)

Saturnine-Tuscadero-Chisel reunion tour in 2010, please.

(This was really fun to read.)

Nick’s is the new good place to play in Philadelphia, because Brian D___ moved down the street from the Khyber Pass, but barely anyone showed up. My brother Michael came, though, which was fun: he thought we needed work on our endings, and I agreed. We started to break the ice with the other bands. The bass players for both bands are nice guys, and Mike is going to use Winston’s ‘rig’ for the rest of the shows. All the bands got paid $40. Mike renamed Philadelphia from the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ to the ‘City of Crap.’

UGK - “It’s Supposed to Bubble”

It is not making this hangover go any better to have been told last night that the screeching yellow brick of poison letters in front of me, these so-called ‘Year[s] in Review,’ has only been kept around from the old days of the chisels and the stone slabs because “they look nice.”

Of course, I am only privy to this information because of the social interaction that caused the hangover, so Circle of Life and so. Whatever, fuck yall malingerers, I’m listening to UGK and Outkast all day to deal with it and I’m okay with that.

Related, even though this recent shit is going a long way towards bolstering my resolve to never again step foot in a Catholic church; St. Matthew’s on M Street really is a pretty one.

Kriston Capps has a good little write-up on DCist that puts the Archdiocese vs. city of DC dispute in stark relief. It includes the phrase “Render unto Caesar, bitches!” so I am cosigning 100%.

Am I the only one who gets freaked out by the block-letteredly dire “PHENYLKTONURICS: CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE” warning on the back of diet soda? Like, I know that it is a rare genetic disorder that I totally don’t have? But still, it makes every bubble of carbonation seem somehow sinister?

Pictures from some concert I went to via some hipster blood orgy website. (There is also a review, but fair warning, the word “propulsive” crops up in the third sentence.) ((Also fair warning, I am in this picture but only just barely. I think the beard bro is the one who got hit in the face with the chocolate but I am not sure FACT CHECKERS?))

I would have made some 'Fail to the Redskins' joke here but every beer-swilling patriot on my Facebook feed already did that yesterday, so

While the Redskins debate is fairly straightforward, the Fighting Sioux case is characterized by paradoxes and ironies. That a debate about the offensiveness of a logo depicting people who once freely roamed the central plains area is being settled by stuffily-named committees in cheap folding chairs under florescent lights. That “Sioux” itself was a derogatory term from the French. Or that the “Dakota” in “North Dakota” refers to the region’s natives so “North Dakota Fighting Sioux” is a lexiconic absurdity. That the Fighting Sioux name was chosen to replace Flickertail because of the perceived fearsome nature of the latter; yet, the Sioux were systematically exterminated and subjugated while flickertails still wreak havoc on the region’s settlers. Or that logo-defending rhetoric about maintaining “tradition” conveniently overlooks that it was tradition that was changed to accommodate the Fighting Sioux logo.
