The Gibbetted Captain Kidd
Speaking of gibbetting pirates, Tim Kelly sent me a video for my favorite Scissorfight song, “The Gibbettted Captain Kidd”.
And yes, I’ll fucking join fucking facebook, alright? Jeez louise!
Return of the Friday Video! The Bags: Big Wig
The Bags, live 9/20/08: Big Wig

Politically-supercharged left wing metal at the M-Room in Philadelphia.
Featuring yours truly on bass.
I think we’ll be busting out the fog machine for this one.
No strobes though: those things make my head hurt.
Upcoming Metal
La Resistance is playing May 24th at the M-Room. We’ve been working up some new songs, including a real good’un called “Throw Down the Gauntlet.”
Looks like we may have free beer for the first couple of hours too, so mark your calendars.
