Watching the 'chealla stream and the fuck is this Beirut band? If you like this band I want to punch you. Watchwed the Ministry doc Fix the other day, covers their '96 tour. I know Paul Barker's declared 'every story you've heard about this band is true' and 'go ahead an make a story up right now. That story? True.' regarding them but I still wasn't quite entirely ready for what I was witness to. Al's been kinda gone for a long time clearly, also David Yow is crazy/awesome. Dude was on stage with the M guys wearing nothing but socks and it gets far better/worse than that. Highly recommended if you've ever given a fuck about those guys. Say no to drugs kids, or at least stay the fuck away from heroin, goddamn.
