Cursive Announce Fall Tourdates, Your Turn-of-the-Millennium Inner-Child is Getting PUUUMPED

Oh, Cursive, Cursive, Cursive... What are we supposed do with you? On the up side, literally almost everyone I know used to listen to you religiously eight or nine years ago. On the down side, that was, you know, eight or nine years ago...

But hey, you’re still here! Rockin’ out, then, are you? How is post-rock these days? “Good?” That’s super. And you released a new record this year after a few years’ absence called Mama, I’m Swolen (TMT Review) on Saddle Creek? What does that sound like, man? Oh right... Cursive... Oh well, hopefully I’ll have a chance to get it from Napster a little later or something. Shouldn’t take too long with my T1 line. I’m not sure what else I have going on today, though.

But for real though, good luck with your headlining dates next month, beginning November 24 at the good old Bottleneck in good old Lawrence, KS. I wonder if that one sticker is still there? You know the one I mean. Ah, and I see that you’re wrapping up on the 13th at the Waiting Room in your home town of Omaha, Nebraska, that magical manila-colored City that my friends and I used to want to visit. How’s the scene there, anyway? Post-rocky, I bet.

Oh, but I hear that the Omaha show is for this Lash's 6th Annual Toy Drive thing and that it’s an annual benefit show organized by Omaha musician Larry Dunn for the children of the Porcupine District of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, a.k.a. one of the most impoverished communities in the U.S. Apparently, donations (a.k.a. toys) will be accepted at the show and 100% of those proceeds will go toward buying additional gifts and holiday stockings. Okay, now that’s pretty unassailably cool.

Anyway, I’ll catch you later, Cursive. Right now I’ve got to set up my VCR to record Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? tonight, and programming that thing just always takes for EVER.
