I'm gonna straight-up reprint a recent-though-slightly-late dispatch from Monitor Records, because it's just so funny. i request that you go forth and do as we (they, i) command this weekend, at least a little bit. praise him! clm.

p.s. long diatribe about last night's show here.

"SUMMER IS HERE PEOPLE. IT IS TIME TO REJOICE!!!

After months of darkness, the clouds have finally lifted and the sun is shining. My people rejoice and live again. The Sun God does love us! So much summer left, and so much sun to take advantage of. Take off your indie rock pants and slap on some shorts, we don't care if you need sunscreen. Have a BBQ (see the new "Rat Video" for a Bmore style BBQ), drink several margaritas, dust off your Huffys, light some sparklers, take day trips to the beach, and blow off work. Go ahead sit on your porch with a sixer of Bud tall boys. Rip your sleeves off. Praise the Sun God. Praise him. Make love, have sex. Run naked through the streets. This is why we are alive.

Do you have your summer cds ready? Do you have your vacations planned. C'mon man, it is summer damnit!!!

PRAISE THE SUN GOD."
