So you’re now into your first workday post-Blowout, and you still feel gross, and you’re still wondering why Skipper’s kept putting happy face and star stamps on your hands every time you came in. Hey, me too.

Everyone who is a sane functioning adult and doesn’t use the internet on the weekends can feel free to make sure there vote gets counted in the polls up there and to the right, or vote again from work to be extra sneaky. What we didn’t tell you is that the winner of each night will be the bands selected to open for Public Image Ltd at the Crofoot in April. No, not really.

As far as new and never before seen things, I’ll give this year to Illy Mack & The Kodaks. Illy Mack is playing a free show on Friday at Alvin’s that you should try to stop into if you’re back in the mood for live music then.

I’ll tell you now to go see Surfer Blood tomorrow at The Magic Stick and to go see Tigercity & Lettercamp on Wednesday at The Magic Stick. Those will be big fun times. This morning while violently pressing every button on the alarm clock some AM radio guy told me it was going to be nice for a little while, so I’m going to pretend that I’m not a vampire for the rest of the week and try to figure out what this “sun” thing everyone keeps tell me about is.
