Made In America

I heard this On Point today and thought it was pretty entertaining. It is focusing on the "Made In America" tag over the past 40 years and what it has meant. it also touches on Clothing, Toys, Musical Instuments, etc and their manufacture.

WHAT!? Earth is (I guess) not playing tonight

This blows.

What is going on? Why does it seem like Providence can't support the touring bands? I am in packed shows all the time...I don't see why it is so hard to get a good turnout/guarantee for the acts. Here is the roster for Mammoth Booking, the people that could have figured out a way to keep EARTH here in PVD:

AIDS WOLF
ANTELOPE
ASVA
BARONESS
BLOOD AND TIME
BOHREN UND DER CLUB OF GORE
BORIS
DON CABALLERO
EARTH
FINAL
GRAILS
HARVEY MILK
HIGH ON FIRE
ISIS
JESU
KTL
KYLESA
MONO
OREN AMBARCHI
PELICAN
PISSED JEANS
RED SPAROWES
RUSSIAN CIRCLES
SLEEPING STATES
STRINGS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
SUNN 0)))
THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES
THRONES
TORCHE
YOUNG WIDOWS
ZENI GEVA
ZOMBI

ZOMBI? RUSSION CIRCLES?RED SPAROWES?BORIS?BARONESS? TORCHE? GAHHH!

I want these bands here in Providence.
I am pissed.

If anyone from Mammoth can hear me...please get in contact. I will help assure that these shows are well publicised and well attended.

Crap.

Quick catch up...funny style

Have you managed to miss the VP debates? Not seen anything about this Palin character that may someday President? Just hate watching the News and reading the newspapers?

It's ok! SNL has brought back Tina Fey and made 3 shorts to catch you up. Seriously...I watched all of the debates and the true news that these are based on and it is shockingly similar. There is almost no need to even pun.

sigh.
