FREE SHOW! FREE BEERS! FREE GOLD!

Who doesn't love Sound Exchange record release parties? WHO? There's something so fun, so in-the-know about packing it into the little space between the rock LPs and the cash register and watching a band make waste of a space larger in the spiritual domain that it ever could be in the realm of animal/mineral/vegetable. Tonight will be no different as hometown low-downs Indian Jewelery, fresh off tour, unleash lots and lots of FREE GOLD unto the world. RICHES BEYOND SCROOGE McDUCK'S DREAMS! No doubt those of you who follow the red-skinned stone sculptors at tiny scales have already grown tiered of hearing the spam-sounding exultations of their new record's title, but hey, we just want to fit in.

If you too are looking for a way to get in the cool column, consider tonight's Sound Exchange in-store which kicks off at 8pm and includes, as always, free beer and lots of standing around in the parking lot to the confusion of all Metro drivers who might suddenly think the hippest thing in the Montrose is waiting for the bus at the corner of Richmond and Hazard. The kids are cool enough to stand there, but not cool enough to actually get on the bus.

Though even the Foo Fighter's publicist will get in touch with us whenever they swing through town (no joke), we couldn't get a response from anyone at IJ's label for an advance copy or a publicity photo, so we don't have a review yet. Or perhaps we never wrote them and that's why its still on our Remember the Milk task list - nah, writing "YO FREE PUBLICITY FOR FREE GOLD" sounds really familiar. Ok I guess we would file in the trash too if we saw that. Anyways, from the few tracks we've heard, however, its pretty stinking good, and its a long way down the Oregon Trail towards replacing Evasive Exotics as our fav case of dysentery. But ya know, dysentery in a good way. Burp. See you there.
