There is a giant hunk of broken glass like three inches from my elbow on my kitchen table. This is NOT safe.
This past week I was a summer camp counselor, there was a lot of tie dye and yarn.
I'm going back next week, because of adult things, like college applications.
Anyways aside from the point, I am painfully tired, so take a half-assed riot grrrl playlist because I don't want to put effort into anything. Welcome to Born Annoying, next year you get two posts in total because I will have given up on being productive by then.This one, in the name of lazy journalism, contains both Hole and Bikini Kill, cry about it.
1.) New Radio - Bikini Kill
2.) Turpentine - Hole
3.) Firefly - Heavens To Betsy
4.) I Wanna Cut My Hair Like Marky Ramone - The Spazzys
5.) Coal Black - The Haves

Interview with Dylan from The Public
Wednesday, yes it was Wednesday (yes this is a Dead Milkmen reference) I woke up very late, far later than the agreed upon time to interview Dylan, from the band The Public. But as the e-mails the night prior proved, he is NOT a square, and no measly 45 minutes of extra sleep is going to deter him! He responded not soon after I posed my first question, and the answers were as follows.
Badly describe the music you make in a sentence:
We make whimsical basement music about the lives we live and the stuff we do .
How did you meet your band mates?:
I was in English class with Harry (drummer) and he was real quiet , but I liked him. I've known Jack (guitarist) since we were real young, since he jammed his two index fingers into my eyes three stooges style in the 4th grade.
But they asked me to sing in their band for a school talent show in 7th grade, and I didn't really want to at first, but we're still kicking it so something worked.
Who do you feel influences you most? Or are you one of those "we play whatever the hell we want and it's new and different," sort of bands?:
No we have influences , but it's kind if whatever we're into at the moment. Everything we like finds its way into our music one way or another. Is say we're inspired the most by our local heroes like bruiser queen, pokey lafarge, and foxing.
yknow in the Karate Kid how the old guy teaches the kid karate? i don't know what they're called. but if you could have any musician be your old guy and mentor you on music, who would it be?:
Oh probably Kevin Parker. Oh shit that'd be awesome. Or maybe Paul Simon. I think Paul Simon might be the best songwriter of all time. Or at least one of the best.
What song that you've created feels like it embodies your music and you guys as a band best?:
Ooooooh I like this question. I think our song Roll Over or Spaceman . Probably Spaceman, just because it was real collaborative and really reflects our interests. That goes for both of them, but we haven't released roll over yet, and Spaceman on our first album

How To Annoy Your Relatives On A 6 Hour Drive 101 (Saturday E Mix-tape)
The posts for the next week or so are both scheduled, as I am now on vacation, or too stressed to write, so I planned in advance. I'm supposed to see The Dwarves and JFA at FUBAR ( i think) tonight, so I will tell you how that turned out when I get back from redneck hell.
My dad and I are going to make a Negativland "Christianity is Stupid, Communism is Good" T shirt that I am going to wear the entire week I am in Tennessee simply because I love embarrassing my family. I already embarrass them enough for looking funny, this will just be icing on the cake. I saw how it turned out last year in Branson. Green hair + nice Pentecostal ladies = Disaster.
The theme of this mix-tape is irregular, it is songs I am going to horrify my redneck family with when I get the aux cord(which I don't know why they allow at this point)... enjoy!
1.) Takin' Retards To The Zoo - The Dead Milkmen (Joe Jack Talcum has a voice that only his mother could love)
2.) You Can Own Your Own Home Without Even Breaking My Heart - Weird Paul Petroskey
3.) Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants
4.) Polka Party - Weird Al Yankovic
5.) The Annoying Song - The Butthole Surfers (self explanatory) (I love reading people trying to decode Gibby's lyrics, I'm pretty sure most of it's gibberish)
