In a completely sincere way I can say the best moments at Wierd for me are the moments when a song comes on and the conversation I’m having comes to an abrupt halt because I have to find out what it is. Inevitably it’s some seven-inch from Holland, only a hundred ever made in the history of the world, and if you can even find it on eBay it costs $300. Of course the band will have some outlandishly ingenious name, like Ceramic Hello. The music is really the story.

Oh, come on now — like you didn’t think we’d go to the Wierd Fifth Anniversary Party tomorrow night. (hell must be freezing over — I’m going to Northsix — I MEAN THE MUSICHALL OF LOSERBERG twice in one week!!) The aforementioned Blacklist headline, Xeno and Oaklander, Led Er Est and Opus Finis also play, and of course there will be djing from Pieter & Glenn.
Outside of being, as someone just msgd me, “THE PARTY OF THE YEAR!!”, it’s a lovely excuse to bust out my black seal fur coat, which is always a hit with the darque kidz when it’s freezing-ass cold out. (Hands off, bitches!)
