Happy Show! - 4/27/09

People often ask me, "Alex, why are you so psyched all the time?" Well it's simple, my friends, I listen to music that makes me psyched. And I listen to it all the time. And I don't just listen. I live it, man. I don't even know what that means but I live it anyway. I put live in italics. Fuck, I might as well put everything in italics. That is how you stay psyched all the time. Tonight I played songs that can help you too be this psyched, while still maintaining your dignity.

Liverpool Show - 4/13/09

While maybe musically over-rated in some other ways, Liverpool is definitely under-rated as one of the great post-punk cities in the history of the world. I played all Scousers tonight on the show and was as happy as a clam on Cavern Walks. Or just any clam anywhere as they are normally so happy. Here was the link to the show and hopefully happiness:
