In between bites of turkey (tofurkey for some) and gravy, cranberry
sauce and pumpkin pie (also with gravy), you can pause and be thankful
for many things, in spite of recent newspaper headlines and Beulah
breaking up. You can be thankful that writing emails to your friends
at work looks to all the world like you're working hard. You can be
thankful that Hoobastank remains relatively easy to avoid. You can be
thankful for Habibo Happy-Cola Gummy Candy, digital cable, half-priced
Belgian beer, Thai restaurants with horrible puns in their names, and
that you mostly only have to hear "Honey/Babe/Sweetie, you're so
stupid" when you watch The Amazing Race.
Most of all, you can be thankful for The Positions and the show that
we're playing at DC9 on Monday, November 22nd, a scant 3 days before
Thanksgiving. Piled up in heaping helpings on the show plate is the
Lil' Hospital (with giblets), The Dares (whole berries and canned),
the Positions (light and dark meat), and the main course, imported
from San Francisco, From Bubblegum to Sky (actual bubblegum not
included). Imagine that blissful feeling after you've finished a
delicious Thanksgiving meal, but without the nausea, heartburn and
political ramblings of your relatives, and that's how you'll feel when
you tuck yourself in on Monday night after the show.
If you're thankful for seeing us in the company of questionable
quality, you should go to
http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/bands/the_positions.shtml and download
(put down the webhammer!) our song "Flowers and Trees" so that it'll
bump us up in the Top Downloads and maybe, just maybe, we can actually
say that for a brief, shining moment, we actually ranked higher than a
song called "Enormous Penis."
Thankfully yours,
The Positions
