“I wouldn’t be playing music if it wasn’t for this tape,” Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox said from Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse stage last night. The cassette in question was the Breeders’ 1993 classic Last Splash, purchased by Cox’s mom many years ago as a birthday present for her then-pre-teen son. That she was in the audience, Cox was celebrating his 31st birthday, and Deerhunter was opening a sold-out show for their Dayton, Ohio alt-rock heroes seemed almost too good to be true. And yet, here they all were – Cox getting a small chorus of “Happy Birthday” from the crowd before his band played a note, and using time between songs to wax rhapsodic about his “favorite album of all time.”
This show was fucking amazing and I’m so glad I was there.
:’( i have no words for how much this disturbed me…as if this whole red carpet event wasn’t enough of a pathetic joke already… and then this happened. this is not what fashion is! obviously has nothing to do with anything punk either…
can’t believe last night was the first time i’ve gotten to see these boys live. they are wild
better late than never

Clavaria zollingeri, commonly known as the violet coral or the magenta coral, is a widely distributed species of fungus. It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to 10cm tall and 7cm wide. The fruit bodies are typically found growing on the ground in woodland litter, or in grasslands. The coloring of the fruit bodies is quite variable, ranging from violet to amethyst.
