Rene's monthly improv show coincided with tonight's Skip Crackle Pop, so Jay had to accept the challenge of being the night's DJ. Setting up the equipment was so easy that Jay declared, "Rene's fired." Five minutes later, scorching feedback erupted for at least five seconds. "Rene, you're rehired." Ten people were in attendance specifically for SCP. A handful of other patrons stuck around, too, including one couple on a date who surprisingly paid attention to the set list and laughed at many of the stories. SCP is definitely evolving into more of a social event than a performance event. Also, attendees have been allowed to play more than one record, because until more people attend there's no reason to stop the party early. The set list can be found below, and photos from this meeting can be found here. |

Scott found this album at his parents' house. His dad said, "This album is awful. She's a whistler." According to the back cover of the LP: This method [of whistling] is now being experimented with and undergoing several tests at Midwestern schools. | |||

I bought this 7" and wasn't sure if liked Guided by Voices, so I went to one of their concerts. I was like, "This sucks," and left. |
