FRIDAY

Modern Til Midnight with Sober | Mom | Kid Koala (Ft. Worth Modern)
You know, the DMA has cool night stuff like this too, but they've pretty much never had a line up as quality as the one over at the FWM tonight. First, you know what Sober does, and second, you've heard us praise Mom for the past year, but add in the fact that they somehow snagged Kid Koala for this gig, and you might start wondering how much gas its going to take to get to Ft. Worth. Or how to get to Ft. Worth. I think you just head west on 30 for a while. Anyway, Mom will be performing a brand new, two piece 28 minute composition that they will be releasing later on this year.... they're great live too, so look forward to getting an advance listen to this new material. Sober starts at 730, Mom's at 930 and Kid Koala is at 1030. Ft. Worth might actually rule tonight.

Tussle | Undoing of David Wright | Night Game Cult (8th Continent)
You've probably heard enough from us about this show already, and anyone in the know probably didn't need any encouragement to go to it anyway. I could see the 8th getting stuffed tonight, though, so you might want to plan accordingly. In our interview, I told Tussle a bit about the 8th, and they claimed that small DIY places are where they shine. I can believe it.

Dub Assembly with Dhruva& MC Juakali | Mundo & Lifted MC | Keith P & Select | Royal Highnuss/Dragon Man (The Green Elephant)
We've been digging on a lot of dubstep around here lately (Kode 9 never seems to fade off our playlist for too long), and after hearing Keith P's excellent new mix CD, we knew that this month's Dub Assembly would be the shit. Not only are two of our favorite local DJs in the mix at this thing, but Dhruva and MC Juakali, two of the main forces behind the dubstep movement in the US, will be headlining an excellent line up. Dallas is quite lucky to have such a tasteful DJ crew bringing this kind of music to the area... a lot of other supposedly "cooler" cities don't have this, and they probably wouldn't have as much fun with it if they did. And oh yeah, I'm guessing that the solid tunes coupled with the Green Elephant's proximity to SMU is going to make this thing drunk hot chick central... and you can always appeal to those SMU girls by being the "weird" guy, can't you? Just tell them that you don't support the war... it'll freak them out. In a good way. You'll probably get a great diverse crowd similar to what the Party has been pulling in, and those are always the best kind in my opinion. This is guaranteed fun in Dallas tonight.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah | Elvis Perkins in Dearland (Granada)
I've seen a couple stories in local and national media this week talking about "oh my god, CYHSY is a total Myspace buzz band," and its really made me laugh a little bit. Yes, they DID generate a lot of organic word of mouth buzz and sold a lot of records on their own, but that was almost two years ago. The story with CYHSY these days is that they released a weak follow up record, making people wonder how good they ever were in the first place. I still like that first one quite a bit, and the excitement surrounding their sold out Gypsy Tea Room show a while back can't be denied. I'm just not super excited about this one.

SATURDAY

Tittsworth (Zubar)
Tittsworth's sound is probably an even mix of everything that is good about dance music right now. He's associated with the Bmore club sound, but most of the mixes I've heard from him have gone well beyond what that label might indicate. Tons of house, late 80's pop r&B nad hip hop influences all coming together to form a bass heavy but sugary sound that is pure dance floor appeal. Tittsworth is one of the most buzzed about DJs in the country right now, and with Central Booking involved, you won't find a better time anywhere in Dallas tonight.

Nouns Group | Daniel Francis Doyle | Zanzibar Snails | Koji Kondo (Fra House)
Fucking loud. Thats probably the best way to describe this show. Every one of these bands is a highlight in their own right, so you can look at this as sort of an all star line up at a great BYOB house venue for FREE. Sounds like the choice in Denton is an easy one tonight. And here is a selection of Daniel Francis Doyle videos if you'd like to find out why you should be sure to catch the guy's set.

Sunset Rubdown | Katie Eastburn | Evangelicals (Hailey's)
Sunset Rubdown, the side project of Wolf Parade's Spencer Krug, is actually a lot more interesting than the band that pays his bills, and despite what some of the hip dudes around here might tell you, Evangelicals' joyous psychedelic pop is more than just adequate.

The Marked Men | The Hands | Maaster Gaiden | The Lash Outs (Rubber Gloves)

i have no idea what that means, but i love everyone. you are all sexy.

I put my peen in a Grommit once. Now i'm like ladies.

"i" think thats the way to spell it!

HAHAAAAA!!!! Grommet Belts!

Tommy: "Damn, that Ranessa sure does put out. Puts out HARD."

Timmo: "Yeah, but she's a Grommit, dude."

Tommy: "No shit, man? With stinkhole-warts? And...you know."

Timmo: "Yeh."

Teach your children to stay away from Grommits.

It's better with the "i" I think. Think Kermit.

they get laid by fat chicks with assymetrical hair wearing grommet belts.

I can't believe how hardcore that fucker got reamed on Denton Rock City. It was almost uncalled for at times...but then I saw the pictures....and heard the songs.....and saw the way the dude apologized like a politician.

He pretty much gets what he deserves. I really hope this somehow encourages him so hack off that fucking mop he's got. What's with that shit? I see emo dudes with that haircut all the time and i'm really starting to wonder if I should grow my hair out. It's freaky, I know, but dudes with the "non-balding comb over" do GET LAAAAID.

No they don't.

dont book the yearbook--some dude is evil!

I thought Idiocracy was a big let down. Great idea for a film, but something was missing. I was expecting comedy on par with the hilarity of Office Space.

Why are we such a generation of fucking critics?

-Fucking Critic

'cause, if drc were cool, we'd have to deal with you fuckers, and that's not something any of us want to do, trust me. you guys stay here where you belong.

"idiocricy"

what do you mean by that exactly?

if yr referring to the movie, it would be "idiocracy" and even that doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. Being cool is so lame. What the fuck are you talking about?!

idiocricy

yeh, if drc somehow became "cool" I'd get my ass off of it for sure!

you guys and your denton complex, man, it kills me! for real!

denton rock city isnt supposed to be cool.

I've been on Denton Rock City since it started and it has never been cool for anything except small talk at work and recipe trading. So, in other words, it's awesome and we avoid almost all of the bullshit that most internet comment threads (ahem) enjoy.

linguistics is sexy

Denton Rock City was cool about 4 years ago.

This is the most intelligent conversation ever on WSJR. Now where are we, 5:59 PM?

haha!!!!!

This is the gayest conversation ever on WSJR.

I love the haikus
They be jammin' on the one
Don't be a hotard...

"Hotarded!!!"
"You're still a hotard, btw!"

thats from denton rock city.

yeah--im only 5' and i cant imagine if people threw around "petite" like they do gay or ~tard. "man, thats so petite!" when they think something is stupid. or "whats wrong with you, are you petite?" you know? that would really make me feel like something was wrong with me.

words do matter and your choices are important.

agreed. even if it thrown around in some sort of joke slang way, it says alot about you if you choose to use your words in an unkind way.

To a lot of people the "perfect catch" is all about beauty and brains. I partly agree. But I think they left off a third part. Kindness. I like brains and I like a pretty face, but most of all I like a heart of gold. It really makes all the difference in the world to me.

being mean and thoughtless is so unattractive. i would never fuck anyone that said words like that. i always assume that those sorts of people are horrible in bed anyway.

Likewise. The words aren't so much offensive as they are simple and unimaginative. And i'm positive that terms such as "fucktard" and "retard" are very hurtful to those of us who are mentally different/perhaps slower than others.

I totally agree. Its quite offensive. I hate people using the word gay too. Any form of tard pisses me off. For a while Magic Computer Friend kept posting "hotard" at DRC like it was the funniest thing ever--it really bothered me. I guess I prefer more creativity in insults/jokes.

I really hate the words "fucktard" and "retard". Just really ugly words. And they make the people who use them, to me, look really ugly as well.

Nancy is no more negative than me. Actually i''ve got most of you beat. And i'm not fucking proud of it.

Kyle

dont call kyle a fucktard. nancy--you may enjoy yr negativity, but its really annoying.

And that's not really sad, Nancy. I'm just mad because someone called me a fucktard. I didn't mean to be a dick.

Sorry for egging on the guy who wrote the Koji Kondo post at 8:10 PM too. I'm sure you're a really big fan of the band and were just venting out your love of their music.

The problem with me, with most of us I think, is that I want way too much out of life. I want to be happy with being a complete nobody, like Franny says in Franny and Zooey. That's maybe the hardest thing to do in life: To conquer one's ego.

230p,
weird. I was thinking the exact same thing...even down to the fucktard. har!

Sunset Rubdown?????????? dubya tee eff?

How were Evangelicals / Sunset Rubdown? Did anyone actually go?

Talk about hostility. Get the cattle prod. Quick.

sr, are you okay? we're worried something bad happened to you.

here's a holdover.

The Maverics lost all 3 of their regular season games against Golden State. Was there any reason to think they had a decent shot at beating them? They got their asses kicked all season by the team that is now royally kicking their asses in the playoffs. Makes perfect sense to me.

It's just a game dude.

*people sticking up for wsjr blog soverignty. it will be alright, really guys.

i mean disappointment

i hear ya. the mavs are such a dissapointment.

dear 4:10
Dude
usually I do
but something was extra stupid in the not funny way about talking about blog soverignty and rgrs promoting. I don't know.
Really I love reading people talk about shit i have absolutely never heard of and making points/comparisons i have no way of understanding - i still go to shows. well, the cheap ones.
WHY DID YOU READ THAT

don't worry... the person talking shit is that same pussy that always gets on here and doesn't make any sense. Trust me, its not even worth a response.

And I'm crying too right now. The Mavs blow.

Blarney Street Hooligans?!! That's the gayest name ever! "Don't fugg wit da B.S. Hooligans! We'll steal your goooold!!! We're so Irish we have inny-penises." Just.....fucking horrible. HAHAAHHAA!!!

i am thinking about my dorkiness situation and i am crying now. i wish i werent such a retard...im just going to go now. im going to go....tear tear

goodbye and farewell :(

so much animosity...for nothing.
Koji Kondo are my friends... I wish I had gone and seen them instead of working.

i want to post a comment, but im afraid im not cool enough for this board. i dont go to denton that much, i dont know all the awesome bands around, im just pretty much a total dork. i have this fantasy of nobody minding about my extreme dorkiness, or going on an extreme dork makeover show shot in denton...who knows. maybe one day. maybe one day.

you shit balls?? ewwww

mybandmybandmybandmybandmybandlikemelikemelikemeisuck

Jealous much?

omg, denton is so, like, cool!! i would love to go to the 8th cont-i-nuhnt, and be so indie , but i got held up at the 9th cont-i-nuhnt which is totally poser because they couldnt be the 8th cuz it was already taken, of course.

Right. So you actually sat there typing Koji Kondo over and over for 10 minutes, even going out of your way to capitalize the K's? That's really lame. Are you in the band as well? That's even worse.

Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo Koji Kondo ....do ihave to say it again..amazing shows last night .if you weren't there you were probably in jail or dead

if you mention weshotjr in the workplace people automatically come and put sunglasses on you and a cig in your mouth, its that cool

I love how people get on here and read all 200 posts on each thread and then say "This is making me sick." Give us a fucking break. You know you love reading this shit.

So what?

this thread is making me throw up in my mouth a little bit
-jerk

This is We Shot Jr's blog, not yours, so We Shot Jr can do whatever they want. If they want to post every show that's going on, they can. If they only want to post about the Mavs they are completely free to do so. I've been on here a few times and saw that my band's show wasn't listed and I was just fine with it. Make some flyers, have some fun!

And as far as RGRS posting their shows on here goes, the bottom line is that they have the absolute freedom to do so. Anyone can get on here and do pretty much anything they want. I'm sure some IP addresses could be looked at if there were some serious death threats or what have you, but other than that this is a public forum where anyone can say anything they choose, and anonymously at that. And I think it's a great thing! Thank you to Stoned Ranger and Defensive listening for putting this blog up for all of us. It is informative and (most of the time)fun! :)

Thanks SHQ!

I realize the show lists are created with what shows the writers have in mind, but I can't believe that the NEIL HAMBURGER show was left off the list friday and Andrew wk on saturday?

i yi yi!

Glossary tonight at Hailey's with Sarah Reddington and Dust Congress.

From now on we'll only post our show information if it is not included on wsjr's front page.
Deal?

We got bills to pay, and we'd be foolish not to promote our shows to our target audience in a forum such as the one wsjr provides.

As far as promoting your show at another's venue, it's just bad form.

We are staying in Denton for the forseeable future, and are damn proud of it. We'd love to have you c'mon out and visit us sometime.

peace in da middle east.

a venues PUBLIC message board, I also find it annoying that the glove has to post every dam show on here.

hey guys! lets bitch about the same shit every day! YAAAAAY!

This isn't a venue's message board, it's a public blog.

I find it hard to believe that people are actually bitching about Rubber Gloves posting show information.
Desperation?
It's called getting the word out.
Are you in a band? Don't you want people attending your show?
I mean, isn't that the point of blogs like weshotjr?

Tell you what. Next time you come across a show posting, divert your eyes until you come to a post talking about how badly something sucks.

andrew wk at dan's tonight??? is that for real?

i remember when rubbergloves had a little web board and we used to post mable peabody shows on it.

They used to get pissed off!! go figure?

"omg...melt banana???? omg...do you mean THE melt banana? the one ive seen like a hundred times???"

100 times?...so i guess i'll see you at the show then.

It's a fucking music blog.
It's called promoting a show.
Would you rather they posted recipies?

Jackass...

ya know i remember a night where i got fucked up in the DMA when faux fox played there. stole tons of beer from the 'bar'. drank shit loads of whiskey out front. and set the program sheet on fire and sent it up the elevator. i think that was about as cool as any line-up at the modern tonight. faux fox ruled that night as well. inspiring all these antics. jumped up on tables with idiot dallas wish-they-had-that-kinda-money fucks and generally rocked the fuck out. it was awesome.

spencer krug is an a-class retard

NOUNS GROUP RULES!

tussle wassail!

opening at art prostitute on saturday. the party on the tables. should be a good time. 6 to 10 i think.

I still don't understand how some loud thunder is weak, especially for a sophomore album. I think it's the only big follow-up album that isn't completely embarrassing(neon bible, we were dead before the ship even sank) so far this year.

muscle my tussle!

Sweet Jesus-pops, the show at the fra house tomorrow is going to rule so hard!

Gallons of fake blood? Maybe. Maybe you should wear something soilable, if you're gonna be on the continent tonight.
