One of my shitty bands got the chance to share the stage yesterday with a couple slightly less shitty bands, the surprisingly badass Phantom Planet and a band I&#8217;d never really heard of called Takota. I don&#8217;t think anyone else had really heard of them either, but I get the feeling that&#8217;s about to change: [...]]]></description>

He writes me wonderful things about atheism and pagans and life in a Texas prison. Yup, he&#8217;s in tha slamma. He&#8217;s a cool dude, tho.

Though this post is semi-masturbatory in nature, I still can&#8217;t help but be stoked that the best radio station not on Satellite, NPR, picked local yokels Surrogate&#8217;s song &#8220;15&#8243; as their Song of the Day.

Fletch likes to party and recently just got back from Rosarito for Spring Break where he drank the mysterious rattlesnake tequila:
