Re-issue! Re-package! Re-package...

Re-evaluate the songs....

I just received an email from Polydor saying to pre-order Maladjusted. Am I out of the loop? This was the first I heard about it. It comes out June 9th and I'm totally going to get thanks to the advertisement.

So I clicked on the link to pre-order the album and it took me to amazon and then I saw that they just re-released Southpaw Grammar a month ago. WTF?! Now I feel like a poser because SG is my favorite Morrissey album! A lot of people claim that it is his weakest album but I beg to differ. I used to set my alarm to The Teachers Are Afraid of the Pupils and this was before the Maladjusted Tour, when Morrissey ended his set, coming back out and giving an encore shortly after.

Southpaw has new recorded tracks, including my favorite b-side Nobody Loves Us. My favorite album with my favorite b-side...who could ask for anything more? Actually I can because the 2009 expanded edition of Southpaw Grammar is currently "temporarily out of stock" and it's only available as an import. I'll just have to wait and for now, I'll admire the sleeve.

Smiths Tribute Set 5/30/09

So yesterday we played at Marty's shortly after 11PM.

(Stef, Rick & Joseph)

We performed the 5 song set in about 20 minutes or so:

ASK
BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN
THE BOY WITH A THORN IN HIS SIDE
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT
BARBARISM BEGINS AT HOME

(Rick, Joseph & Ernest)

Although we didn't have a name for the band, this being a one time gig, Rick told them we were called, "Another Smiths Cover Band." The rest of us just went along with it. We had some technical difficulties and some mess ups but it actually turned out fine. Thanks to all my peeps for showing up on such short notice. I love you!

H8 Upheld

I'm still in shock over the Court's decision regarding Proposition H8.

Tuesday was Decision Day but I'll remember it as, "Terrible Tuesday."

I went to a rally in East L.A. and blogged about it.
