The Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments cover band I'm theoretically in is a GO!

Any new developments on either front?

busy schedules of touring (for other peeps) and work travel (me) have slowed progress : (

hahaha I missed this the first time around

awesome

you really need to hear Straight to Video!!

saw them one time in St Louis, they rocked. there were only like 20 people at the show and one of em was a heckler who thought their name was racist. lolz all around.

i've also decided that "We Got It All" by Shepard/Ego Summit is the greatest song of the 90s.

That's a good song. I like the Shepard version best. Mmm.

M@tt you should make this happen. I would try to make it happen but this seems like the kind of thing that can only happen in a midwestern locale.

We still need to do this

This is the only thread connected to TJSA so I am posting it here: Guitarist Bob Petric passed away over the weekend.

I lived in Columbus for a while after their hey-day and he was still revered as a local legend who never need to pay for a drink (at least until he stopped drinking) and was generally known as a good dude.

Another long-time local wrote a very nice eulogy:

oh no, thanks for sharing had no idea

Very nice tribute article there, but so sad of course

just discovered they had an album "no old guy lo fi cry" from 2000 that i hadn't heard, it's good!

RIP — that is sad ... Saw TJSA opening for GBV a few times. I think I first heard about them from the GBV bootleg where Pollard lists out a bunch of bands. I kind of figured at first he was just making them all up, but they were all real haha.
