what do you know about KNOXVILLE?

i heard you talk before, and i heard you talk on the youtube, it sounded different!

maybe it's the new cantonese accent.

well it's supposedly even awesomer now. i have been in a show at the bijou! although to this day i have still not set so much as a single foot inside the bistro at the bijou.

i also still haven't seen the new tennessee theatre, which is supposed to be like zomg.

Well, I think I talk less Vestal to you, because it is hard to understand for some Brittos, maybe. I don't know!

I've been in a show at the Bijou too, Tracer! It was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and ILX poster Nijoli was assistant director.

new broadway exit is crazy!

crazier than the old one? or well it wasn't the exit so much that was the problem as the on-ramp from james white to i-40, which a friend of mine speculates was designed by a tdot serial-killer. "i will dump merging traffic into the fast lane of a narrow 2-lane interstate, halfway through a blind curve! and nobody will ever suspect me!" evil laughter, etc.

oh, that's REAL old school

this is better than that, but there are too many CHOICES

superdrag reunion = "the entire town has plans"

and if people were too cool for that, then they went to damo suzuki

i will be in knoxville from the Dec 19th thru NYE. Anything decent happening? Are you guys playing a show?

yay superdrag! when i went to glasgow, brandon sent a cassette ep all the way over to me!

Aw, that's great! He seems like a nice guy. The only one I know at all is Don, because he recorded our record.

Kingfish: we are playing NYE with the Royal Bangs, who are GREAT, but I assume you have plans already for that night.

haha, are you kidding? I'll be isolated in the weird exurbs of Loudon, where there ain't shit happening.

I'm seriously considering renting myself a car so's i can motor around, up to michigan & back, perhaps.

I know a lot of people in/from Loudon.

Eat at Carl's, dude!

There will be a lot going on in Knox within that timeframe. I'll keep you posted.

Sweet.

Y'all Knox Villains come see Tenderhooks being Patsy Cline + band at Pilot Light tonight! Also: Bitter Pills are being the Creation, and they are going to possibly burn down the building with rock power.

When your hangover cures, come see Tenderhooks at Barley's on Friday and drink the last of the PUMPKIN BEER, yes that's right.

roxy, are you playing in nashville anytime? let a sister know.

We play there a lot! I will let you know.

Yo molly, re: Nashville, we are playing there super-soon! The 9th, at The End.

I love how Matt Morelock, at the end of his Happy Camper show on WDVX, says "Be nice to each other. Bye bye, now."

dvx is the greatest radio station in the world

OTM

i totally went to a starbucks in knoxville

(i think)

the rest of the time was spent in java

Or the Golden Roast!

alone :\

Are you saying I was a crap host! That only happened once. :(

I was only there once :)

Not what I meant, obv.

Kingfish, I'm not ignoring your question, working on some suggestions...

i'm ignoring your question kingfish

I mean I guess we all are, at this point.

Sorry, King.

should knox county commission ask citizens to publicly recognize god as the foundation for our country?

Well, the talk of the town today is that Brad Renfro died.

hotbed of civic activisim.

oh lumpy.

Oh my god -- I WORK with Lumpy Lambert!

(in response to what Tipsy said up there)

Joe Johnson, the group’s chairman and a well-respected former president of the University of Tennessee,

not by me!!

i had to interview ol' joe on several occasions. always struck me as a gladhanding bureaucrat who had risen above his level of competence. otoh that still put him leagues ahead of lamar alexander as a ut prez, by everyone's account.

lumpy, i just don't know what to say about a guy named lumpy.

He lost his show at the radio station because he wouldn't stop drinking beer on the job (apparently this is a felony?).

lol for a second your post made me imagine JJ taking the elevator down to P103 at the end of his day job and flasking it during the afternoon drive time on new rock

we totally would have let him

I meant Lumpy, obv! But haw.

do people still have the crappy black & white helvetica new rock 90.3 bumper stickers? I made those

You serious? There is one in my home right now!

You can really separate the old school from the n00bs by who still calls it "New Rock 90" instead of "The Torch" or whatever they are calling it these days.

oh word!!

I also tried to change the name to PRAGUE 90.3 at one point

hahaha
