….A PRESS RELEASE...FOR A MIC STAND! Some band calling themselves "Five Finger Death Punch" (clue No.1) issued some days/entries ago via their website the big announcement of their new mic stand! Now, while I can appreciate the creation of something out of nothing, & fair bit of artistry, to issue a press release about your mic stand makes Spinal Tap look like Les Rallizes Dénudés.
The big HEADLINING TOUR announcement also includes the rather classy touch of the first "100 Ladies Get In Free". Whether this also includes chicken wings and a bucket of brew, I do not know? First the Kings Of Leon are peddling $108, plain, grey, t-shirts. Now this group of down-tuned, tattooed Man-Trigs are celebrating that which could be replaced by a broom stick. What’s next? Radiohead issues press release about new "blip sound" created on MacBook? Oy Vey.
(Seems the Ben Weasel ref. is making some heads scratch. Dude use to duct tape water bottles full of beer to his mic stand, complete with sippin’ tube running all the way up to the mic. Hence no need to break Ramones-stride mid-song, so there. Thanks B.A.D.)
