The average age of the members in this band are 15. I want to cry tears of joy. These kids fuckin’ get it.

Come along with your virtual tour guide, Marc With a C, as he leads you through some of these, shall we say, “less traveled” destinations. Some of these places are pretty seedy, but as long as we stay together, we should be okay, right?

My feature art for the Consequence of Sound review of the new Vampire Weekend record, Modern Vampires of the City. I’m back to my old love/ adversary ballpoint pen. I love drawing in ballpoint and seldom have done pieces in it this big. I still haven’t made up my mind if it was a good choice or not. I love how the blood turned out though.

What John said.
That picture? It was taken by Bethany Taylor Myers, and it’s from the show I played tonight at BackBooth with Milk Carton Superstars. They are a really fantastic band and I’m super honored to work with them. You can also see Leslie Rising and Chris Zabriskie in that photo. They also did stuff to entertain people.
The venue wasn’t my favorite. They didn’t let a bunch of people in. Not just one or two, but apparently many, many people were getting turned away at the door. Please accept my deepest, most sincere apologies and know that I (and the other artists) had nothing to do with it. If you were turned away, please contact me personally and I’ll try to come up with something neat to give you to make up for the inconvenience. If you *did* make it past the anvil of door death, I hope you enjoyed the show.
Tonight’s setlist was: Cuddly Toy / Popular Music / The Proper Amount Of Snare / DJ Danny Treanor / Brand New Thing / Free Bird / Dickpuncher III: The Dickening / The Earth Didn’t Move (You’re Just Hung Over) / Every Single Friend / The End Of Popular Music / Terror Song.
(And then, in the Milk Carton Superstars set, I either played or sang on: Sunny 66 / The Last Pigeon In America / This Is This / Silver Star Payphone).
Next Saturday, I’ll be playing a show at The Geek Easy in Orlando, and it’ll be the last one I do for a few months (for health reasons). Please come to it if you can.
There are some days that just beg to be kicked off by blaring the first Blinker The Star album on wax.
And much to my surprise, here’s ten minutes of video from a show I played this weekend. Maybe not everything they say about Lakeland is true.
Kinda forgot about these quotes floating around the ol’ internet.
In the midst of all that was going on Free Comic Book Day and Star Wars Day, Sci-Fried and Marc With A C played a show at Winner’s Circle in Lakeland, Fl. As always, marc brought his indie flair to the stage and performed an awesome show. Check out these photos from the event.
A hint of what’s coming to The Real Congregation in June. (With an unbelievable special guest…)
