Support your local hippies!

Not that anyone sees this anymore, because I never update, but here's a little promotion for Mepos, the band. Mepos is a rock/roll/jam band based out of Rhode Island, and features my good friend (and shortest resident of 59 Green) on the drums. I hate hippies and jam bands and all that nonsense, but I actually enjoy watching these guys. Maybe it's because I know them, but whatever...

Anyway, enough rambling. Mepos is playing Wednesday, May 3rd at Harper's Ferry, on Cambridge Street in Allston. Mepos will be headlining, which is good, but they also won't be going on until around 11:45. I know it's a school night and all, but the more people that make it out, the better nights Mepos will get down the road. (Oh, and Harper's features Moosehead drafts for like $2.50 or something like that.)

I promised Mario I'd pimp them, so here it is. Hope to see you Wednesday.

How white?

We're trying to figure out what the whitest song out there is, but there are a few rules. It can't be cowboy or country (no John Denver or "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"), it can't be heavy metal / hair band (no "Cum on Feel the Noize" or Def Leppard songs), and it can't be "ethnic" music, because everyone knows Irish drinking songs are white. We're talking WASP-y white music. The leader, so far, is Christoper Cross' "Sailing". I've never heard the song, so I can't say, but is there a whiter song out there?

Erroneous!

Did you know that there was no such thing as the Brontosaurus? Turns out some jackass paleontologist took one dinosaur head and put it on the wrong dinosaur body and thought he had created a new kind of dinosaur. Not so much. (The USPS didn't care, and actually put it on a stamp. That made all kinds of "scientists" mad.)

I don't have a whole lot, but thought I'd share this. It upset me to learn this...the Brontosaurus was pretty much my favorite dinosaur.
