Old Wounds Salted Anew

We were collecting ourselves this morning, sipping on a cup of coffee on the back porch and checking in with the day's internets edition. Standard stuff except for the good weather. Oh, here's an email from Matador Records, let's see who's touring through. Cat Power - No Seattle date. Then there's a band we don't know. And another one. Then there's a band we don't care about. Then there's Mogwai - Already on our calendar. New Pornographers...Seattle....Aug 12....Gasworks Park! Gasworks Park! Then it hit us like a length of 2x4 to the small of the back- That show's not happening. That sounds like Summer Nights. We know it's not happening. If you read this site you know it's not happening. If you're a member of a Wallingford neighborhood group you're damn sure it's not happening because you're a miserable piece of shit who hates music and fun and light and cares only about defending your parking spot tooth and nail and then scurrying back under your rock. If you're Matador Records, though, you either haven't been informed or you're not staying on top of your tour schedules. And once again, to the Friends of Gasworks Park and all their kind who decided that we wouldn't be walking over to Gasworks and getting our geek rock on with the New Pornographers this August, fuck you.
