Apollo Up! - Chariots Of Fire - mp3 review

I think I got a reverse drunk dial last night, but I’m not exactly sure.  First, let me explain the reverse drunk dial.  A drunk dial usually involves alcohol, a late night, and a disruption or disturbance in the form of a seemingly urgent phone call to the receiving party.  Normally its the dialer that’s drunk and the receiver that gets the harassment.  A reverse drunk dial is when its late, you are drunk, and someone calls you with an urgent phone call hoping that you’ll be sober enough to talk to them.  In a reverse drunk dial its the caller that usually ends up being tormented.  The best part of a reverse drunk dial is that the sober caller will instantly realize you are wasted and try to slip out of the conversation with a polite “I’ll call you tomorrow”.  You of course will have no part of that and refuse to let them off the phone.  Many times a reverse drunk dial ends in massive frustration, ultimately ending up being motivation for the drunk receiver to become the drunk dialer and return balance to the drunk dial matrix.  Such was the case for me last night……I think.  Much of my story comes to me from a 3rd party.  What I remember of it involved vomiting on an east Williamsburg street corner, laying on a stoop, professing my love for said stoop, and then refusing to leave that stoop because I wanted “to live there”, all of this happening while I was on the phone.  All players involved are actually on this list so feel free to fill in the blanks if you like, you know who you are. 

This is another Theory 8 band from Nashville.  Formed during the Fall of 2002. Current/former members of Iotushalo, Shiboleth, On Command, and Forget Cassettes.  I love that they describe their sound as “Elvis Costello being manhandled by Hot Snakes.”  I’m not super psyched about this band, but I really like the guitar and drum sounds and there are parts from each song that I think are interesting.

I feel like I’m full of holes today.  Does that make any sense?
