no. do iron maiden’s “rime of the ancient mariner” instead. (still long, kinda weird and boring, but way more comic fodder)

i had tomato soup for lunch!

ahahahaha

hence “heretical take.” obviously.

somebody recently posted video from one of them from 2003 (an absolutely insane all-covers punk/hxc halloween show). i was almost disappointed to see it was november 1 and not a heavy october day

and i was in A LOT of basements/vfw halls/bars/other shit venues etc from 2001-2011

july 22: ozzfest (2000), the yeah yeah yeahs (2004), the mountain goats (2019), jawbox (2022)

oct 20: self (1999), bad religion (2007), richard thompson (2009), cave in (2024)

those are the only days with more than three for me, i think, except i have almost no record of early 2000s basements

this is tula pink from yeeeears ago

i made the pillowcase

i also recommend this song about the kursk but it's less directly narrative

KIND i am very good at typing
