Well folks, it's Monday, which means you're sitting at your desk hating your life, hungover from the weekend, reflecting on all the poor decisions you've made, and looking at all the nice stacks of work you've got to get through before the week is through. Or if you're unemployed like me, you're sitting at home in your underwear counting your food stamps and asking people for handouts, wondering why not one wants to hire your broke ass. Either way, it's all the same beast, we're just suckin' on different appendages, ya dig?
Seeing as you're miserable, it only seems natural to taunt you with The Lawrence Arms' latest tour video, featuring them hanging out and just having a good time in general on their recent mini tour through the US. If you don't know who The Lawrence Arms are don't worry, I used to have bad taste in music too (back when I thought the Foo Fighters were cool). The good news is I'm here to help you, or at least, degrade you further.
There's not a lot to say about this video, other than that it's your standard "tour video"-- Footage compiled from various shows, sitting in the tour van, at the airport, backstage, etc. Nothing particularly novel, but it's fun as hell to watch a band I look up to living the type of life I aspire to have. Drinking beers, playing shows, not having to talk to any of you people ever again. One can dream...
Anyway the video is shot to the song "Them Angels Been Talkin'"off their recent EP, Buttsweat and Tears, and it rocks my dick, so you should go check it out. Their singer/bassist also writes in a pretty awesome blog, Bad Sandwich Chronicles, which generally features randomness in the way of midget tossing, STD's, and "fun ways to clean your butt that don't involve toilet paper or water".
Okay, here's the damn video already. Many of the shots are from the Knitting Factory show, so maybe if you look real hard you'll see me in the audience. But probably not.
