Neatbeats were amazing.

They did, however, do a fascinating big-fuzz version of "I Only Have Eyes for You..." This I tried to post the other day, but something went wrong: Maddening properties go out to the Pills for their fantastic set at the Middle East last Friday night. Their usual energetic pop (including a joyful surprise cover of Band on the Run) looked like it made a lot of converts for them in the indie rock crowd, and - I daresay- their performance was much more worth the price of admission than headliners Sloan, who bored many of us non-followers to tears. And Seth, I've been trying to hold back, but I have to step in and tell you to give Milford a chance- it's no city, but for a young eager kid who obviously needs a LOT of quiet time and do some reading so he knows what he's talking about when he posts (although your role has been coopted by young mr. Hunt lately) it can be a cute little town... seriously though, say hi to Les and Bob at Fladd's, the best record store... note that the Stonebridge parking lot used to be the site of a ritzy fifties movie house... Joel at Retroactive might be able to set you up with some vintage duds... Franco's is the best pizza west of New Haven... explore Laurel and Bayview Beaches and imagine the swell sixties summertime parties they must have had... ride up the Merritt with 102.9 Oldies Big D 103 blasting... and wait for the summer. Keep an eye out for bands like the Radiation Kings, Absolute Zeroes, Damn Personals, and sometimes Mooney and the Make-Up, all of whom have been known to stop in N.H.... if someone asks about JC Superska, act like you know... No, I probably wont respond if you email me personally, so yes, I'm from there, and no, please don't use my name... oh yeah, I'm probably never going back, either. enjoy drewseven teenbeat ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
