No, not really, I just wanted to say that. Roberta was very friendly as she injected yellow goo into my ears.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll have a pair of custom-molded musician’s earplugs by the end of the month. Hopefully they’ll prevent me from going any more deaf than I already am.
They will arrive too late to defend me from the sonic assault that was Akron/Family, who performed at Lucky Bar on Friday. Think Broken Social Scene setting out to destroy your stereo–squalls of noise punctuated by catchy folk ditties. Unfortunately I was too tired to stick around for their whole set. Himalayan Bear, featuring Ryan Beattie and a couple other members of Chet, opened the show.
