PAUL BARIBEAU

This is a show review from a band called Guitar Bomb. I have no idea who Guitar Bomb is but I do know what house he is talking about. This happened in 2006-2007. Pretty funny review from a total asshole. This was a strange house for sure, but was one of my favorite houses to play. Louisville, KY in 2006-2007 was an awesome place to show up on tour. So many positive kids.

Guitar Bomb, and a million other awful bands, are what makes DIY so hard to care about sometimes. People like that suck the life out of everything.

Also, what does “drank spacebag” mean?

pepetouch asked: You're really not playing at Death by Audio on 3/23? Buuuuummmmer, man.

I must know where you are getting this information. I’ll send my team of interns to fix everything.

My hero.

“I read that [Rimbaud] stopped writing altogether when he was twenty-six, became an arms dealer or something. He never wrote a line after that. Ironically, that sorta got me writing again.”

I feel like I’m going through something similar right now. Watching people give up is convincing me to work harder.

onemoredeadrose asked: hello paul baribeau! have you ever considered coming to alabama? i absolutely love your music. and your beard.

I was hit with a can of beer the last time I played Alabama.

fangirlsneversleep asked: Are there any available tour/random show dates for 2012? :)

Working on some stuff for later in the spring. Nothing set because I’m putting together a lot of new projects all at once. So, to answer your question YES and NO. In the fall, however, I will be everywhere.

scareadox asked: Hey, for the Feb. 24th show in Brooklyn, can I just show up? I was planning on being in the city for my birthday that night and could think of no better way to spend it than at your show. Also, if you need a space for Boston still, I work for a DIY exhibition space/art gallery (Yes Oui Si Boston) that has concerts all the time and you could definitely play there. If you have found a spot, deets? -Ari

You must have dug up some old tour dates. I won’t be in Brooklyn any time soon. Sorry for the confusion.

also, I meant to answer this privately but goofed. Now the whole world knows I won’t be in Brooklyn. Geez, what a day.

Proof that Disney sells a Joy Division parody shirt.

Stephen Steinbrink continues to amaze me with his music. The first time I saw him he was years ago in a Phoenix, AZ backyard. Playing the best cover of Stayin’ Alive anyone will ever hear. Always putting out great stuff, always playing great shows. Recommended listening. Key Losers are no slumps either. Wish I could make it to one of these shows.
