Frothy pints of beer go untasted. Sadness for they were built to spill. by Chris O'Brien
I liked their cover of "Some Things Last a Long Time" lots better than Beck's by Caitlin
built of poppy hops to brew a sweet mash, not to spill, but overflow by glory
Built to Spill's Doug Martsch Idaho's biggest rock star Sorry Nikki Six by Brett
And the winners:
Oh frontman Doug Martsch Your beard is so darn fluffy I'd like to pat it by Melissa M
two axes to grind sparks of fuzzy northwest wool flashing in each chord by Bow
Congratulations Melissa M and Bow!
Built to Spill plays TONIGHT, Thu., Oct. 7, 7:30 p.m., $22-$23, with Love and Laughter and Revolt Revolt, Trocadero, 10th and Arch sts., thetroc.com.
show was amazing. despite the band seeming listless to the point of collapse, the sounds they produced were thunderous (and doug eventually assumed an epileptic state during the solos). many thanks to citypaper for the tickets.

Thank you!

| Erik Ransom and Leah Walton in Carrie |
No one can stop Carrie's drag queen lead, Jersey's own viciously talented Erik Ransom, from essaying the tale of a flaxen-haired high-schooler who gets pranked, tamponed and bucketed — and then gets even in the campiest, goriest fashion. No one can halt the messiest-ever prom night since Prom Night. No one can slow the madness of religious zealotry versus good old growing pains. OK, extreme growing pains. Wide-eyed Ransom leads an all-star Philly cast (including Jess Conda, Leah Walton and Colleen Corcoran) through the spookiest stage vibes since Brat's Barrymore-nominated creepfest, Haunted Poe. Expect director Michael Alltop to bring the same weird passion to King's taunting teen masterpiece. "We had all this blood left over from Haunted Poe, and I could think of no better way to put it to use than by doing Carrie," says Alltop."I love the script, but it still amazes me that Stephen King approved it in the first place. The only thing I can figure out is that having Carrie played by a man in drag is actually closer to what he had in mind, visually, than what Sissy Spacek looked like in the movie." Bloody right.To win a pair of tickets to the October 10, 7 p.m. performance, answer the following trivia question:
What actor, known best for his childhood role in a 1990s sitcom, starred in the 1999 Carrie sequel, The Rage: Carrie 2?
E-mail carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net for a chance to win, and visit bratproductions.org for more information. [UPDATE, 2:20 p.m.]: Congratulations to CritMass reader Ben, who was first to send in the correct answer — the one, the only Zachery Ty Bryan of Home Improvement fame. Thanks for playing, y'all! |
What was the name of Spike Lee's aforementioned HBO documentary on hurricane Katrina's aftermath?
E-mail your answer to bhoward@citypaper.net with the subject line "Blanchard Tix." The first four with the correct answer will be notified and will be able to pick up their tickets at City Paper's Old City offices by 4:00 Friday or at the Zellerbach Theatre the night of the show.
UPDATE: Congratulations to the winners of the Terence Blanchard tickets. The answer we were looking for was When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts but, due to some ambiguity in the question, we also accepted If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise, Lee's 2010 followup to When the Levees Broke. Enjoy the show and please report back on how it was.
