1. I need to listen to more of The Hold Steady. 2. Isn't Josh Ritter coming to town for a couple of shows soon? 3. I saw Moby play the ballroom at the Red Lion Riverside. For reals. What a bizarre venue. I think that was in 2000 or something.
1. You do. The Hold Steady kick ass. 2. He is. Playing two shows at the Egyptian, one with a full orchestra. That will be sweet. 3. I interviewed Moby in college and he was a total douchebag. Difficult and slightly combative, and my questions were pretty basic stuff to ask an artist plugging a new album. But he didn't seem to have any answers for me, or wasn't interested in playing the game that day. The interview lasted six minutes.
Okay, deep down I know I'm not a loser — nor is anyone else who loses their job. But getting laid off, even if it was based on tenure and the economy has gone all Titanic on us, well, it's hard not to feel like getting cut from the JV baseball team all over again. Plus I'm horny for alliteration. And I thought it was funny, especially after Googling "Laid Off Loser" and a link came up that had something to do with "a shirt covered in Cheetos." It might come to that.
This list makes me think of three points:
