Bass Fishing Video Games

My mom's friend gave her a whole stack of old microsoft PC video games. They are all pretty crappy but the one that really caught my eye is Microsoft Pro Bass Fisherman.

I have no idea why such games are in existence. I've been fishing. It is boring as hell. Video games are supposed to be the sweet shot of morphine that diverts our attention from the gaping wound that is day to day life. Bass fishing games are not morphine. They are a salt coated dildo being jammed into that self-same wound with utter carelessness.

Anyway, the Neuroscience show went really well. We had a pretty good turnout, and all the bands played great! And I say that with complete humility considering I played in three of the five bands. We didn't get the EEG up and running during the Birthday Cakes' set unfortunately, but we did have some good videos on brain dissection and I think everyone had a good time. Our friend Brandon Grey took the following pictures of the Birthday Cakes. (Thanks Bran!):

The next one will be the BA Johnston/HotKid/Bunnies in Berlin/Birthday Cakes show, which will be at the Adanac Ski hill shack at 5 PM on Dec. 5th.

Then, on Dec. 13th, the Birthday Cakes will be opening for Rabbit Transit, Upheavel of an Excorcist, and the Holly Springs Disaster at the Jubilee Centre at 6 PM because we are heavy as fuck.

That same night, Dec. 13th, Meadowlark Lemon will be holding our CD release at the Townehouse featuring Matthew de Zoete. We will be preforming the songs from our album with a full band, and we will then do a whole set of our new noise rock material.

  1. That Matthew De Zoete is playing shows all over the place now. If you want to come meet him, he's playing the Townehouse on Thursday night as the headliner to the Open Stage.

    Also, I was listening to Romper Room when you scared the shit out of me yesterday. Feel beckoned.

  2. I can't make the open stage because I'm going back to work on Wednesday. Hope it works out, though.

    Weird! I wasn't sure if you realized it was us or not. Sorry for frightening you.
