It's that time of year. Holiday season. Everyone is freaking out about how they're going to celebrate the New Year. This whole ritual pretty much disgusts me. New Year's Eve is just another day, folks. I mean, c'mon, what are we really celebrating anyway? Great, we made it to another year alive. Big deal. Now I must say, this is a completely new revelation to me. I used to be one of "them." But for some reason this year, I'm over it. Priorities have changed. I urge you to give it some thought as well.
Anyway, on that note, I've recently discovered my favorite (current) band is playing a show on New Year's Eve in Chicago at The Double Door. I missed their last two Chicago shows because I was out of town, but there's no way I'm missing them this time. New Year's Eve has become just another day to me, and I figure going to an Electric Six concert is something I'd do anyway.
I've included some of my favorite tracks below (listed by album), concentrating mostly on songs off their most recent album Kill, which I'm sure they'll be promoting. I neglected to include anything off their Flashy album; it was a bust.
Do me a favor, though. Don't listen to these tracks just once and write them off. I pretty much hated Electric Six the first time I gave them a listen. But I listened again and again, and they grew on me. So much that they're now one of my absolute favorites. Check 'em out, and ring in the New Year with me! C'mon...the whole hotel and dance club package thing is way overrated and not worth the money. You know I'm right!
P.S. Pay close attention to the track "Escape From Ohio." I couldn't have put it any better myself. The entire track is about how much Ohio sucks. Here are some lyrics: "Lord, please send some mercy down to me, fifty miles south of Bowling Green. This will clearly never be my scene. Why does every city start with C?" Oh, and they get political on us too: "They say that what you give is what you're gonna get. It's no wonder everything's gone to sh*t. Because they've given us John Boehner, you better believe they've given us Jean Schmidt!" Ha! And my absolute favorite line: "What's so great about a buckeye?"
