No introduction could give this band of merry men enough justice, so allow me to shut my mouth and turn up the noise. Ladies and gentlemen, Hot Hot Heat's Goodnight, Goodnight.
Oh man, maybe not down there in the Deep South. Hot Hot Heat's from Vancouver, and it's all we can do up here to keep the local "indie" stations from playing them every fifteen minutes. The actual college and public-access stations have long since moved on, but they've got pop appeal and indie cred, so they get a lot of airplay from commecerial stations trying to sound like they're with it.
No kidding? They're a speck on the map down here. They don't even tour below Virginia, save for the occasional trip to the far-away land of Atlanta.
Granted, indie radio stations don't exactly exist down here either so I wouldn't really know if they're mainstream. Come to think of it, I don't think culture exists down here.
I am a little girl afraid of change and in love with song. I like pug dogs and magic tricks and optimism and warm weather. I like to play dress up and read books and when I grow up I want to be a witch who lives alone and frightens strangers with my mystery because they just can't understand. In the meantime I am content to be a witchling.
This is my diary, my journal, my daily log. It's my way to connect because I am not very good at connecting and I am very afraid that one day I will forget all of the beautiful things that happen every day because there are so many and it's hard to get old and forget.
I hope that you can understand, whoever you are, that this isn't for you. But then again maybe it is.

Doesn't mean they're a bad band.

Oh, what it is to be from Florida.
you underestimate the alternative music scene of south jersey.
or maybe you don't.
haha, yeah, you're right, no one here knows them except the lucky few (including me).
They're actually quite fun to see live. I saw them a couple of years ago at Street Scene (in San Diego).
