Big Business

Sunday night I attempted see the Big Business in SF, but blew it and showed up late. This fuck-up lowers my lifetime Big Business batting average to 1 for 4. In the past cops and naps have prevented me from rocking the fuck out to this amazing band, but Sunday it was accepting an ill timed long distance phone call from Scott Stimac. (Also, a flooded garage played a small part in my tardiness.) To atone for my sins I purchased the new BB CD, this further illustrated the error of my ways--the record is tough as nails. I encourage all of you to shower these guys with riches and buy their record today.
As a consolation prize I got to watch the These Arms Are Snakes set. TAAS are a solid band playing emotionally charged, if somewhat spastic, hardcore. I also hypothesize that they own records by The Jesus Lizard. You can’t fuck with the Lizard. Actually, the more I think about it, TAAS are pretty damn good, much like BB, they love the volume and if I wasn't an old fart I would have driven to Davis on Monday night to see both of these bands.
It should also be noted that in the process of making me miss Big Business, Scott called out the singer of These Arms are Snakes as a "Fashionista". Sorry dude, but this is somewhat hilarious as the fellow's style of dress and waistline is frighteningly similar to yours. However, Mr. TAAS does dance like an idiot.
Keep your feet on the ground while reaching for the stars...

while it is true that both myself and the singer from TAAS wear slim fit diesel jeans, it should be noted that:
1: He doesn't have a beer gut.
2: I don't have an eating disorder.
3: He doesn't get mistaken for a member of the Black Crows.
4: I don't play in band that goes on tour.
the big business disc is indeed fucking rad. and it should be known that These Arms Are Snakes are tight as fuck, i just don't like the dance moves.
keep it easy,
stimac.
