I've got a lot of dookie to p.i.m.p. this week, so I'm starting early this morning:
Tomorrow night - Scamper embarks on the "Sloppy Seconds" portion of our residency (with special guests The Dents, The Brett Rosenberg Problem and Jason Liebman & The Uprising from NYC) at the Abbey. That should be a killer show and I'm actually feeling human again, so hopefully my high notes won't crack the windshields of your cars out on Beacon Street.
But also tomorrow night at the Abbey, my friend David Craft is playing an acoustic set on the side stage at 7pm. My very first rock and roll performance on a stage took place at my high school talent show in 1992 with David on drums, Joe from Fooled By April on guitar, Madden on vocals and myself on bass. If you think about it , it's pretty cool that all of us are still playing on the Boston music scene, except Madden who quit music to pursue his true passion: Mexican amateur porn. On that fateful night thirteen years ago, the four of us murdered a medley of Queen songs. It wasn't pretty, but we won 2nd prize, after a bunch of goobers from the football team re-enacted that "Da Bears" skit from Saturday Night Live. Yeah, real original, clever bit, guys.
These days, David is an uber-talented singer-songwriter (if a little on the fruity side) and he's worth checking out. I'll be there. And if I'm going to be there, you know it's a happening.

Besides the Queen songs, don't forget that you all murdered a bunch of damn dirty hobos that night too.
Check out Madden's 1997 masterpiece "Burro: Sombrero y Pantelones de Muerte" when you get the chance - it's magnificent.
I didn't feel the hobo murderin' was worth mentioning, seeing as that's such an integral part of the high school experience.
I prefer Madden's "Dirty Latin Maids Eating Burritos" series myself.
