SPIRITUALIZED

The Spiritualized show at First Avenue was awesome. I needed some powerful guitar feedback in my life. Ctrl_S turned to me and said something that would make a perfect title for the singer's biography: Dear God, Please Give Me Some Heroin: The Jason Pierce Story Here's some other imaginary biographies I thought of on the bus: Thanks Jesus, But I'll Take It from Here: The Bono Story I Will Shoot You in the Face: The Dick Cheney Story The New Yorker Turned Down My Poignant Short Story and Now You Will All Have to Pay: The Craig Finn Story If you have any more, please post comments. PS. More Spiritualized pics here . ---------------- Now playing: Mayumi Itsuwa - koibito yo via FoxyTunes
