Tonight: Drown Your Debate Fears in Booze, Bands

Posted by Tracy Moore on Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 2:03 PM

Tonight's VP debate is kind of a big deal, y'all. Even if, or especially if, you think Sarah Palin is to politics what faux lesbians are to feminism, i.e., a total train wreck wrapped in a travesty rolled in a steaming pile of crap. The good news is, you can catch most of tonight's happenings right after that shit winds down. Or, just skip the debate and reach for the booze. After all, apathy is our most-exercised American freedom. Just be careful what show you choose, because behind these scruffy facades lie some of the most fiercely divided political affiliations since the Summer of Dreamz. Options: In the 'Boro, the Obama-supporting Led Zep tribute Black Dog are at Wall Street, battling against the economically challenged McCainiacs Luna Halo at Main Street. In Nashvegas, your favorite bands MEEMAW and JEFF have the audacity (of hope) to play The End again, while Mock Orange, Eureka Gold and And the Relatives are the mavericks holding ground at the Mercy Lounge. (Crazy political junkie Battletapes produced the new Mock Orange record.) There's an Obamarama In the Round at the Bluebird and at Edgehill Studios, but that's a tough sell up against the so obviously Cindy McCain-approved Costume Couture Halloween Fashion show with Mona at Exit/In. Indecision 2008! More listin's right here. If there are any other happenings of interest, I'll try and find 'em and bring 'em to ya!

Yes, and they happen to be Nashville's most promising new band.

Yeah, but you can see "Always Sunny" on Hulu as soon as it's aired. As far as hockey v. rock 'n' roll...well that's just a matter of taste.

Pretty good summation of the debate tonight as well.
At least the second part.

Hurricane Doyle, Shannon Lee Briggs, and Travis Stephens and the Invisible Kids are at the Basement tonight, but sadly I imagine the proceedings will be devoid of any sort of intelligent political discussion due to inebriation or the journey there-to. Plus, it will all be all twangy and shit.

"Yes, and they happen to be Nashville's most promising new band."
The real Obama would never endorse Jeff.Trust me I know.

Actually, it's 8 days between first-run airing and Huluing for "Always Sunny," But let's not get bogged down in partisan bickering!

isn't it a tad redundant to promote your show in the comment of a thread that's already promoting your show?

As if your previous names "oh yeah", "well", "fuckjefftoo!!!","take a que an shut the fuk up said", "ddt", "The real Last Word", "moral oral", "J", "moon unit","MIKE The Brotherhood", and "familiar sideman is a fukkin idiot" weren't enough, now you chime in as "Joe Biden".
And you still havn't figured out how we know.
You should have picked "Sarah Palin". Much more appropriate for your lack of intelligence.

I don't think anybody gives a rats ass that you can read IP addresses. That's so 1997.

Hey Trashley, I meant to mention that it comes on SurfTheChannel.com immediately after airing. Not Hulu.

I have never even heard of that site. I'm not very good at Internet.

burrito's back. Are we gonna talk about Zappa again?
IP addresses? It's a lot simpler than that. Just look at his new post as "Sarah Palin", compare it to all the rest of his many names, and you'll see the common thread.
Really, it's fun.

He isn't figuring anything out because it wasn't true. He probably posted a bunch of b.s. under those names himself. What a scrotum sack you are "wait a minute your ddt!".
