FW: grimsey email newsletter #2
hello shalala-ers.
hope this isn't too "promo" but it's a bunch of band news and etc.
I have been LOVING this Quasi song I keep hearing on the radio.
I saw Bis last weekend and it was great. Though it looked like being in Bis
had become more like a job and less fun than it used to be, they were still
jumping and pogo-ing to their songs but it just seemed rote. If I didn't
dwell on that too much the sounds they made were fabulous hiny disco, songs
stuck in my head all weekend. Anyway, I hope everyone is well.
Autumn is fabulous.
