WWRM

Procrastinating sleep lead me to this awesome picture of Spider Webb from The Horrors.

Now, doesn’t he just look like he’s about to eat the soul of some helpless little fawn?

Don’t miss THE dance party of the semester, hosted by WWRM, The Worm.

Hot music.  Cool DJs.  Glow sticks.  Club lighting.   

 Oct 2, 2009.  9pm to 12am.  1st Floor Student Center.

$2 Admission.  Non-Randolph College Students must present a valid student ID.

So many awesome things have happened since we last talked.  Your Mom had her debut show a couple of weeks ago.  It rocked as always, and maybe even a little bit more since DJs Itchy and Kreig are older and wiser.

Your Mom also attended The Horrors’ concert at Sonar in Baltimore.  There were pros and there were cons and sometimes the cons were the pros.

For those of you who haven’t yet taken the time to freak yourself out by The Horrors, a brief introduction.  Originally fashionable, English garage banders with a macabre side, they have since moved on to some soul-searching shoe gaze.  They still are fashionable and they still are macabre.  Their net weight as a band must be around 45 pounds, which adds to their mythical status.

Long story short, Your Mom loves The Horrors.  Way back in the early years of Your Mom, The Horrors were one of the first a bands of the week.  That’s how important they are.

Back to the concert.  The venue looked like a big, black basement.  The bar, no lie, was probably bigger than the stage.  A weird dog was wandering around and ended up doing a pee and run.

Kreig and I tucked ourselves right up front, as in three inches away from Joshua Third’s boots and about one inch away from a speaker that blew our ear drums out.  They played their songs perfectly, wore crisp, well-fitted black outfits, and never smiled (though Coffin Joe, the drummer, grimaced a lot).  They came back out for their encore and finally played the hard core awesome stuff from their first album, Strange House.  I swear, hipsters grew out of  the floor and swung down from the rafters just to mosh.  One girl took her shirt off, a drunk guy behind me kept repeating this chant that sounded to me like, “Shit, Fuck, Rock and Roll.”

The Horrors’ concert definiately adds to our street cred, that’s for sure.

You’ll hear a lot more about the  concert including some songs that we heard there if you’d only listen to Your Mom, Sundays 3-5.
Peace.

First Show. First Post. My first show was a mild success in my opinion, but it was a great learning experience for me, and the only way to go is up! I got to talk College Football, and baseball, and I got to talk about some really interesting news articles. Crispen stopped by and got to promo his show Cogito Ergo Voro which is an indie rock music show (with some politics mixed in) from 7-8 p.m. on Mondays on WWRM.

Don’t miss the Peter “Ironman“ Sheldon interview featured on the September 7 show!! 

Tune in every Monday from 7:00 - 8:00am for News, Views, and Music that Woos as you end your snooze.
