Don’t Think I’m Not

» Good News! I’m back on WPRB this summer, beginning May 29th. I’ll be on the air every Tuesday from 5-7 PM EST. I promise to fill up rush hour with plenty of hot tunes and “witty” banter. TUNE IN TUNE IN TUNE IN TUNE IN
» Swiped from the jaws of Idolator, Street Census has a pretty great What Not To Do re: publicity. Here’s another suggestion: before you sign me up for your band/project/etc’s mailing list, introduce yourselves. Maybe it’s ego, maybe I just feel like having a clue about who’s behind the email, but nothing drives me crazier than being thrown randomly onto an announcement list.
» West Philly Food Alert: May I please praise the wonder and genius that is Tacos Don Memo (38th St bet. Walnut & Sansom)? This little food truck brings me such lunchtime joy with awesome Mexican goodies. Sometimes the wait is a little long, but the owners make it up with freebies — today I got a free tamarindo drink, other times there’s been fresh tortilla chips to nosh on during the wait. 3 tacos run you 6 bucks; the little slices of pineapple in my spicy pork are pure heaven.
» I love lolcats, Bader over at Daily Miltonian explains why.
» Twee or twee-like seems to be the order of the day: NYC’s Thee Yankee Dollar make the pixelated frequencies of modern mp3’s work in their favor — just think of it as a double-shot of lo-fi goodness. And I’ve always loved this September 67 song. I caught them a few times and while I can’t remember who they opened up for, their songs had a slight snotty edge amidst the pretty guitars that kept me listening, all these years later. Where are they now? Aaanyways, enjoy!
Thee Yankee Dollar, “Ask Me Now”
September 67, “Steve Malkmus Is A Fucking Snob”

I caught S67 twice around that time — once definitely opening for Wilco on Valentine’s 1997. The other I have long since forgotten, both were at the Troc.

P.S. on the poster — did I get that for you? Because I definitely own the same one you’re talking about.
