Family Fun & Mt. Olympus - Music for Mike Show Fans
« on: December 09, 2009, 04:37:07 PM »
FOTs-turned-Disciples-of-Mike (DOMs) are playing a show at Hank's Saloon in Brooklyn, NY this Saturday Dec. 12.

Mike, what can I offer you to MC the show? How can we turn an already sordid night of humble chaos into AP-Mikestock. We have plenty of songs about alienation, dissociative disorders, objectum sexuality. And you can co-host with Frank From Weehawken. Seriously, what will it take, Mike? We'll show Hoarders on the bar TVs, have the DJ play some Dead in between bands.

Calling Mike's fans DOMs is a good start ...
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

Yeah. I'm thinking Disciples of Mike is even better than The Sick Clique. Can you be more specific describing the music I would be hearing? Also, do you really want a middle-aged man standing around at a punk show? I would think not.
See God, Kai

Mike, Middle-aged men are our target demographic. Songs about making your kids shovel snow barefoot, making examples out of your friends, Flomax, arguing with your barber, Roth IRAs. Isn't that what growing old is all about?

And you are correct: Family Fun is a bit on the unpolished side. Dirty punk & roll with a touch of John Phillips Sousa. Songs about revenge, pills, sleepover parties of yesteryear.

Mt. Olympus is insane boogie-metal. A parking lot freakout waiting to happen.

Any Day Parade is drunken country (drunkry?) from Jersey City with a sultry female voice singing of loss, love, the drinking before, after, during.

AP-MikeStock - Think of it, Mike - A dopesick, paranoid musical celebration for all the world's shunned and maladjusted.  I'd love to see a flyer on top of some hoarder's trash pile.

Also, the only band featuring a member of my immediate family on guitar.  Not 100% sure I'll be there (middle-aged-guy-at-a-punk-show issue, busy schedule), but I hear Family Fun's got a bottle of hot sauce for me and I intend to claim it.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Shaggy,
Your brother shreds like the Nemco Food Equipment Easy Shredder, available for $251.17 online. Seriously, kid is awesome...

Yeah, I'm very proud of him.

Speaking of the Mike Show, I used to push him around the neighborhood in a stroller, and I once beat a kid up for insulting him.  Actually he wasn't insulted, he was a baby and probably didn't even notice, but the kid made fun of him.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I will go if Jason goes! He can help me with my notes for the intros.
See God, Kai

I'm sure the music alone is fodder enough for notes.  Hosting perks include:
- Bus fare
- A special Hank's beer flight
- A burned CD-R of Terrapin Station autographed by Family Fun and Mt. Olympus
- A copy of Salesman which to me is one of the more depressing movies I've seen in the past few years
- phallic-inspired Japanese candy or the nearest American equivalent
- Limited PeRdition Family Fun brand hot sauce

Man, this is tempting.  But I have to do all my grading by Monday.  I'll see what I can get done in the next couple of days.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.
