“The guitar is just a wonderful instrument, it’s everything: a bartender, a psychiatrist, a housewife. It’s everything, but it’s elusive.” – Les Paul

@ Zoobizarre
This Week’s Pick:
The Thermals hail from Portland, Oregon. Their 3rd full length, the hyper-political The Body, the Blood, the Machine was recorded by Fugazi’s Brendan Canty. They can be found on pretty much any Sub Pop compilation.
Runner-Up:
How can a band with a name like Casiotone for the Painfully Alone be boring?
The Creepshow’s Halloween party at Foufoune Electrique. Dress up!
