Comments
So zaleski and local music posse went to SXSW (man we have interstate ass kissing going on now!), woop de fucking doo! apart from mascis and a few others this lineup blows..especially the st. louis contingency. Harnish - why didnt you go down there and atleast give the stl rock scene a respectable representative....instead the hillbilly stereotypes were perpetuated by the likes of the 'make me wanna puke' stylings of shame club . the infamous Joe Payne Posted 03/17/2008 at 18:51:16 pm
Whoah! I didn't know you guys went to SXSW. You should have posted something... Posted 03/17/2008 at 17:31:02 pm
