Dustin Wong is going on tour with Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks. In case you missed it the first time: Dustin Wong is going on tour with Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks

For the scant few who remained unconvinced of the benefits of seeing Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks on tour by Nobodaddy’s bravura news performance, I’m here to wink/nudge/flash my switchblade at you in an attempt to get you off that fence and head out to the show (JK, I don’t have a switchblade anymore, I’m just trying to impress all the PR people out there with my willingness to “go the distance”). You may have noticed a tiny little asterisk at the bottom of Nobodaddy’s post, and if you’re not super great at context clues you might have wondered to yourself, “What does that mean?” Context clues are hard, my friend. That’s why I’m here. Come with me to the second and third paragraphs where all shall be revealed.

If you look extra-close at the bottom of Nobodaddy’s post you’ll notice that there are actually several asterisks. Many of them are right next to particular dates, sure, but if you look close enough you’ll see that one of them is right next to the words “Dustin Wong.” As you may know, the words “Dustin Wong” are actually the name of a human guitar player who just last year released two whole albums of acrobatically looping guitar performances, Meditation of Ecstatic Energy (TMT Review), a solo album, and Toropical Circle (TMT Review) with Takako Minekawa.

As I hope you will have discerned by now, Nobodaddy’s use of the asterisks was no mere accident. Indeed, it was meant to indicate that Dustin Wong would be joining Avey Tare’s group on tour. Below you will note I have used the $ sign to indicate something similar vis-à-vis Wong and Tare’s relationship. I have chosen the $ in this instance because of my great affinity for money.
