I SAW A UNICORN

There are several competing theories as to how exactly this spontaneous burst of metallicness evaded capture. Some cite the spry, feline reflexes of VBS cameraman Dan Cain in protecting one of our bazillion-dollar cameras from a potentially fatal beer-drenching, while others believe the scene was simply too pure and majestic for the internet-video-viewing public at large. Still others ask how much damage a few drops of beer could really have done and then sort of sigh.

Whatever the cause, the moment is gone now, save for the recollections of those present. I’m sure you’ll like the episode as it turned out, even knowing that you’re watching it at a deficit. I just felt it was my responsibility to three of the best guitar people from the 90s and their excellent, though not 90s-affiliated drummer to bear witness to the occurrence. For it was glorious.

Oh yeah, the reason we crowded into the ladies’ room to talk was because Obits not only practice in the same building of rehearsal boxes as Silk Flowers, but in the very same room.(It should be noted, however that neither band claims responsibility for the setlist written the room’s blackboard including undoubted gems like “Awesome Krautrock” and “The Perils of Internet Dating.”) The idea of recreating the Silk Flowers episode on the same couches and with the same questions crossed our minds, but was ultimately written off as “goofy” and “really not that funny when you get down to it.” And so, the bathroom.
