During my weekly (biweekly, whenever-I-think-of-it) internet search (by the way, I search for them in real record stores too, but my chances of finding them there are even less) for a couple obscure cassettes that I'm becoming more and more convinced I'll never find, I came across the Stop Pop and Roll website. From this website, I learned that Betty Goo broke up in 1999...so this means that we will soon be due for a 15 year reunion tour!! However, because I'm impatient, I think the tour should be in 2013 which would be 15 years from the last full year they were together (and, incidentally, will also be the summer we celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary). So it all makes total sense, right?
Then I had a total epiphany a few minutes ago while I was lounging in my giant bathtub (totally unrelated, I promise). They should come over here - "over here" being the eastern half of the country - and do their 15th anniversary reunion tour as a co-headlining tour with The Paula Kelley Orchestra!!
AND, they can have Ryan Schmidt open for them!
How fucking perfect is this plan?? How blown would my mind be by the end of that show? Totally, that's how much.
I have this blog because I love music passionately. I love the progression of a song, the swell of it, the way it permeates a room and fills the spaces. I love how it ebbs and flows and how it can be a tangible thing - how you can move around inside it and it can move around inside you. And I love to talk about it, write about it, experience it.
