Showlist for July 3rd, 2009

Hey all-

Happy 4th weekend and all that. Don't burn anything down. How many years are they gonna show that video of the mannequin strapped to an M80 getting blown apart? I get it. Explosion bad.

So, apparently, former local and D Plan frontman Travis Morrison is retiring from music. Pitchfork has it here. He states it himself here. Never one to be boring, I guess.

Another sign of the corporate-ti-zation of punk music. Yahoo! music made a list of the 25 best ever Punk rock logos. You can find it here. For those who don't really care, Minor Threat came in 19th with the Sheep logo.

Oh, well, be safe this weekend. Also, Artomatic closes on Sunday. Last chance to see it before it comes down.

later,
pete
