Dear GYA, Tonight a very special and rare event is about to happen, Salt Lake City's show promoters have come into perfect alignment, thus filling our city's music venues with a bounty of garage rock shows. It only happens once every couple months, but should be celebrated nonetheless.
Dear GYA, I like to rock most days of the week, but usually the weekends are the easiest time for me to rock. This morning I found a few minutes between breakfast and my shower in which to rock, but if felt forced and now, as I write this from my office cubicle, I'm left with a hollow feeling that can only be replenished with the power of rock.
Dear GYA, As rapper Deltron Zero once said, "Update your grey matter, cuz one day it may matter." I'm not a hundred percent sure what he meant by that, but whenever I eat a mushshrooms I listen to Deltron 3030.
Dear GYA, You know, I'm glad Stevo-O is in town tonight. Growing up, I was one of those people that never read the disclaimer before of every episode of Jackass and so, ultimately, I stapled my scrotum to my leg.
Dear GYA, As a seasoned bluegrass fan, I take live shows pretty seriously. That's why before heading out for a night of hootin' and hollerin,' I always take the time to warm up my stompin' foot.
Dear GYA, Thinking about going to tonight's Little Shop of Horrors show at the Grand Theatre, but I gotta say, it would be so damn annoying to be eaten by a back talking plant that has a taste for human flesh. Believe me, it's not the whole, "getting devoured by a plant thing" that would bug me— it's the whole, "sitting in there and being forced to listen to his jokes thing" that would drive me insane.
Dear GYA, Like most children of the '80s, I love the Psychedelic Furs. But listening to them fills me with all these deep teenagery feelings about my high school crush, Debbie Flounders.
Dear GYA, This Halloween I'll be dressing up as Gotye, again. I know, I know, that one song is super old but I'm only doing it because I'm cheap and all you have to do is get naked and paint a bunch of geometric shapes all over your body. The only thing is, I was wondering if I should wear my Gotye get-up to the Kimbra show tonight at In The Venue?
Dear GYA, I love a good DJ set so I'm getting ready for tonight's DJ Qbert show at Urban Lounge by making a list of every song I want him to play. DJ's love it when you tell them what to play, that's their job...to cater to my drunken wishes.
