no age rocked it. my head felt like a horror movie prop the next morning from all of the free rum and the free punk rock. aside from being a great band, the fellows in no age are just plain cool dudes too. i talked to drummer dean for a bit after the show and he mentioned that they thought that since they were playing a MAGIC party they expected to be playing in a convention center or something. i guess the double down is a convention center of sorts – it holds smoke and barf conventions.   there was also talk of an official no age interview for dorkdestroyer and the possibility of a house show hosted by yours truly in the future. i’ll keep you posted…don’t tell my landlord. 

oh, and i also want to mention that the vinyl format of the new no age LP, nouns (sub pop) includes a free download of the tracks. this makes loads of sense to me because no one buys CDs for their value anymore, but records will always be considered “musical currency”. so thanks to the band and sub pop for offering  a way to own the files for buying the vinyl! keep that shit alive!
