Love this place! A great option for dee-lish healthy lunches with lots of veggies and flavor. Not too expensive or snooty - hope it stays in business for a long time to come!
The problem with doing these is that I always forget a few. Tanner Walle, Marry Me Moses and Adru the Misphit all deserve to be included. Paper Airplanes is awesome but I think they're from Wichita. I gave so much love to "White Flight" last year that I kind of wrote it off as 2006. Haven't yet heard Baby Birds, Boo and Boo Too, I Love You, Coat Party or Ssion. Also - Nick - the ACBs and Jackie Carol and The Republic Tigers and namelessnumberheadman are all 100% Kansas City. -Gintowt
thanks for the input jmeier66. i have the pendergast cd on my desk and i'll look out for the others you mentioned.
as for "moving past" the gadjits and the anniversary, i think it's important to remember that not everybody in this town is as hip to local music scene as us scenesters. there are plenty of people out there who still need to be reminded that the only children and architects contain members of the anniversary and the gadjits - if they've even heard of those bands.
Well, I never thought I'd see the day I'd get involved in message board trash-talking (much less for a publication I write for), but here goes. "Theoneyoulove" - I don't know who you are and I'm sorry I rubbed you the wrong way. Whatever it was that made you feel so inflamed, I can't say I'm proud of it or I wouldn't do things differently given a chance to do it over.
Here's what I do know. Like many people, I've slipped up once or twice in the course of relationships. I think most people have and the important thing is that you learn and move on.
As for my "unacceptable behavior towards women" being the reason for me leaving Ghosty, you're seizing onto what you would like to think is the reason I'm leaving Ghosty and missing the bigger picture. I love Andrew and I love what Ghosty was for four years, but truth be told, Andrew and I are a lot different. I always admired those differences but at a certain point it became more trouble than it was worth. I did a few things along the way that stressed the relationship, but I put an equal amount of passion and dedication into the band, just because I believed in it. Girls, well, they're going to be an issue for any band composed of horny young men, but to assume that was the reason for our separation is just plain silly.
For the record, Andrew asked me to leave Ghosty. But I sowed the seeds of my departure -- overstressing in the studio, being in a sour mood after shows, being domineering about band decisions. But these things stemmed from my creative dissatisfactions - wanting to write the songs, wanting to be the one out front singing them, basically wanting to be the one in charge. Now I am (with OK Jones), and though I may be starting over, it feels great.
I'll always look back fondly on the last four years. I think Andrew and the guys (hopefully) appreciate all the work I did for the band, solely because I thought Andrew was as good a songwriter as anyone and just needed a little push. Ghosty will go on to great things, I'm sure of it. Part of me is sad to not be along for the ride, but the other part knows that this is my time to follow my songwriting muse as far as it will take me.
Thanks for the good memories guys, and pooh on the little crud like this that sometimes got in the way. -richard

No prob, Murderama. "Theoneyoulove" is making you look like a pansy...
I think you might be onto something with that monkey idea ... can we get a singing bass fish in The Donkey Show?
