August 4th, 2006Seriously, it’s your funeral people — Phoenix, French Kicks and locals The A-Sides play an “invite only” concert at the Trocadero, kindly sponsored by Camel cigarettes.
With every growing day I sound more and more like an actual straightedge wackjob, so I’m not going to mention the health issues surrounding smoking _at all_. Nope, not one peep from me. However, I will politely point out that Camel’s parent company, Reynolds American Inc., has donated 87% of its political contributions to the Republican party. Conservativecocainesexjams all night long! Enlist with the party train soldiers! Get rad in Iraq!
And with all the smoking going down tomorrow night, no one will notice how truly crappy Phoenix or the French Kicks are. As Philabuster pointed out, the French Kicks couldn’t even fill the North Star last time around. What sort of dumbass in Camel’s marketing thinks they can pack a 1,000-person venue? And how many years has it been since they’ve written anything remotely worthwhile?
Philly I’m ashamed of you, buying into crappy marketing like this so easily. Keep it up and you’ll be simply fodder for Blue States Lose.

….I feel as though it says something essential about you depending on what you see first:
a) waif
b) vomit
Sadly, I don’t know what that something is.

That picture is creeping me out … can’t … look … away … though …
I’ve never attended an “invite only” show, and I’m quite sure I never want to.
