Have you heard about this Brendan Boogie Band? None of you are tracking them on tourfilter, I can tell you that much. But it seems that our very own Brendan is going solo, even before the ashes of Scamper have gone lukewarm. Apparently I'm playing in this band. And apparently the debut show is tomorrow night, 11 Dec 2007, at the Bulfinch Yacht Club. With the Rationales and "The Beatle," which we're all assuming is Paul McCartney.

Speaking of members of rhythm sections thinking they're the bee's knees, Luxury drummer Steve Foster took a bunch of Christmas carols and rewrote them to be about chickens. Makes perfect sense. See Christmas Chickens at TT's on Thursday 13 Dec 2007, with Robby Roadsteamer, the Snowleopards, and Kier Byrnes of Three Day Threshold.

That's kind of all I've got for you this week. Oh, do you like blogs? You know Kay Hanley, of the late, great Letters to Cleo? Do you know what she's doing now? Singing backup on the scandal-ridden Hannah Montana tour. It's all rather preposterous, and she's letting us in on the shenanigans here. Strange life.
