Diamond Nights - Destination Diamonds [2006]

was up at The Cactus Club

out there Milwaukee way last nite.

saw a rather fantastic band

(Zorch)

brilliant young band

made me think of

all sorts of things

with my feet

fucking love the Cactus. what a treasure.

we dined around the corner at The Palomino.

incredible. deep-fried vegan goodness.

but plenty of actual animal fare, too.

talk about having your cake.

Again,

you Motherfucking Milwaukeeans,

(especially you Badass Bayview Bitches)

must know how fucking good you have it

(which is why you all keep it so quiet)

forgive this FIB for saying so

but can I move there?

Anyway,

at the bar with tall (-0-) Pete

after and this song comes on

and we both say Thin Lizzy?

the bartender laughs

and says yeah almost

he shows us the album

a conversation about the best ways to be derivative ensues.

this is the golden sample of that, the proverbial case-in-point

the ultimate crosstalk consensus: don't argue against groove

you will only sound small and lose. bartender pauses:

man, when those guys played here...

they floored the fucking place.

the kids went cray-cray.

band ended up hanging the whole wknd here in town

going to BBQs, backyard parties, record shopping

playing with the kids, playing for the kids

playing kids playing to kids
kicking some
