People,

So the 25th Annual WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble starts today. For those of you who don't know about the rumble, it's essentially a big battle of the bands put on by a local radio station. There are huge cash prizes, tons of exposure, oodles of prestige, etc. It's really a great opportunity,and on top of that its just pretty darn exciting........ for the bands invited to participate. Boo.

Oh well, despite our jealousy and general nature of wishing other people ill, we do want to give our best to all the bands. However, we especially want good fortune to shine on our friends in the Halogens and Baby Strange, both of whom have graciously offered to change their names to Fooled By April for the duration of the contest and also to give us all their winnings. They're good people, people.

And what will we be up to during this period of rumbling? Well, we're forgoing rehearsal all week in order to stand on Somerville street corners and beat the holy hell out of passerbys and dogs. So look out, folks, it's rumblin' time.
