Notekillers

Nerds unite. Seriously, check the image and tell me this doesn't look like an odd conglomerate. Kinda looks like a pic of me and my high school friends. No one seems to fit. And fit, they did not. Being from Philly, they missed out on the whole NYC cool kids thing (actually,, they are not cool and that city sucks). They played weirdo, 40 years ahead of their time punk/funk/jazz/groove. Kinda like an American This Heat but with soul (not saying that because there's a black guy here either). Just a really fucking brilliant band that only Thurston Moore and the like love. I believe they recently reunited and I can only imagine many hipster skulls were crushed by these guys. Their real audience has yet to be born. Once a Saturnalian mates with a Zebra and a coat hanger, then those ears might be attuned to what the fuck these guys were really about.

Nothing like days like this to make you feel more isolated and distant from those you care about. So let's have a laugh or something. One thing I like to do is listen to stand up albums when I walk around town, though I am well aware that I must look like a psycho to passersby. I suppose seeing someone who looks like me laughing to himself might seem pretty suspicious, but who cares. The opinions of the locals was something that never really concerned me anyways. So where ever you live I suggest downloading this and conducting your own experiments. See how many people will point at you, or sneer, or flick you off. Matt, not sure if you have this already (I think you might), if not then grab it.
