BEYONCE IS FROM HOUSTON

scene: at home in the 423 gallery, listening to the JAWBOX album for your own special sweetheart, while on the television set, the BEYONCE video for single ladies plays on mute.

jen: i feel like we're at a punk rock burlesque show.

i say nothing because there is nothing to be said.

ALL-PERVADING

FEEL GOOD HIT OF THE SUMMER

neon indian 'should have taken acid with you'

not really sure exactly what is up with neon indian. apparently they are a duo and they may be from austin and/or brooklyn (that is what their myspace says) though some say they are from houston. it doesn't really matter. this is just a really great track. they also have a song called 'deadbeat summer' which is really good as well but just not as summery as 'should have taken acid with you' despite its name.

the song reminds me of a story told by a friend of mine. this guy (said storyteller) used to take a lot of drugs. i mean tons of drugs. while living in new orleans he was dared to lick an entire page of acid tabs. and he did. he said it really didn't effect him much until one day he was walking down the street and he felt something weird in his head. like something inside had been switched off. he looked at a newspaper and realized he didn't remember anything for the last 6 months, since the day he licked the page of acid tabs.
