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

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.

eight years pass...

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:

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.
