THE FLYING ANVIL QUICK REMINDER
Just a quick reminder that tonight, September 21st, is the Rock, Paper,
Scissors Championship Tournament. This is your chance to redeem yourself
from years past where you went out in the first round to a 9 year old.
This
could be your year, and hey, what a good year it is. For the first time
the
grand prize money has reached $500...yes, $500 for playing Rock, Paper,
Scissors...now that¹s clean livin¹. Registration starts at 7, matches at
8,
and you walk out a winner sometime after that. Oh, yes, there will be
trophies again this year...even for third place.
Thanks to our sponsors:

Later in the week we will have Ohmega Watts on Friday...brought to you by
WUAG 103.1 and GoTriad.
³One of the freshest talents to have emerged out of hip-hop's leftfield in
the last five years... The Find takes inspiration from boom bap bad boys
Pete Rock and DJ Premier, as well as Stereolab."
-DAZED & CONFUSED
That spells awesome!
Then, on Saturday night...the gig you should hurry up and buy tickets
for...Beirut. Wholly smokes this is gonna be a goodie. How can you go
wrong with a band that has been compared to both Django Reinhardt and
Neutral Milk Hotel. Yep...getcha tickets today. Here¹s some quotable
quotes:
³Zach Condron, the heart of Beirut, is a nineteen-year-old kid from NYC
via
Albuquerque, New Mexico. But you can know that only by being told. Just
hearing this music alone would have convinced you that it sprang from a
rag-tag group of musicians from the Balkans, circa the 1950s. A lost
artifact, found and dusted off, as if it had hung in an antique shop for
decades.²
"What's a twenty-year-old New Mexico kid know about pain and suffering?
Plenty, by the sounds of Gulag Orkestar, the delightfully downtrodden
debut
from the Gypsy-savvy (but thoroughly American) Zach Condon. Chock-full of
accordion, brass noise and Condon's sinewy murmur, the album has got
melancholic Eastern Euro charm from here to Kiev. Controlled chaos abounds
on winsome oompah tracks like the lambada-meets-polka waltz "Bratislava."
Elsewhere, Condon betrays his indie-pop roots, as on the sweet "Postcards
From Italy," which strikes in between Django Reinhardt and Neutral Milk
Hotel."
