OWEN TAYLOR: TONIGHT AT THE BROHO >>>

I remember the Treasure Chest. I remember the one-seat ferris wheel at Yard Birds, right by the popcorn machine. I remember Especially Yogurt and Yo-Yo-A-Go-Go. All night raves in A-Dorm. Take One and Black Anger at Metropolis. Mosher’s Mayhem. Funny Guy On The Prowl.

I still hate hippies and I’ve never been to Super Saturday.

Kudos to the Brotherhood for keeping it Olympia. It took a drop-dead bombshell’s frustration at the jukebox to point it out. “It’s just so local,” she said with disdain, “sometimes you want bar music. You never hear any fuckin’ Doobie Brothers here.” Oh, she’s pretty when she’s angry, kind of like Glass Candy and their infectiously melodic and melancholic grooves. It’s somewhere between Madonna and ‘Til Tuesday, and it’s wrapped up in leotards and empowering energy and it doesn’t really care what you think about what it’s doing, ‘cause it’s gonna do it anyway, buddy. Kind of like Olympia.

Check out Glass Candy tonight at the Brotherhood.
