Working In The Halls Of Shame

alt-country is just so real and thats why i want to do it.

my theory on why thanksgiving is not yet and never will be a corporate orgy:
theres halloween. theres the one-two week hype up; costumes, candy, fun etc. halloween comes, one day. then the next day, in move the "early birds" those advertisers looking to grab statistics and FAST cos christmas is...wait. christmas is another almost TWO MONTHS around the corner. and theres something in the middle, right? thinkthinkthink...


thanksgiving!
advertisers, everyone, etc is too busy building on christmas that no one bothers to think about thanksgiving!
this is why thanksgiving is the only real holdiday, and the only one i enjoy 100% the whole way through. this is why the pre-christmas hype will no longer bother me. i welcome it. its rad.

i will no longer have time to be in bands that deep down dont matter to me. so grab a lap steel, your dobro, some brushes and a four track tape recorder and we'll lay down some good ol' pure country in my basement.

this is why i love days off.
this is why i need to move away.
this is not why i hate ham. but seriously, fuck ham, fuck exploitation, fuck christmas.
