Time to wipe the slate clean with a new year, a new decade, and a new resolution you probably won't keep. Our new year's resolution is the same as last year's and the previous ten years before that, which is to go to as many shows as humanly possible. And what a way to start that resolution than to try and stop by the three thousand shows happening tonight. In order to do this we know we'll have to dodge the hundreds of drunk drivers that will inevitably be making a mess of things around town. And really we'd really like to not have to actually Canseco your asses into jail so please be safe tonight and take the Metro if you're a lightweight slash alcohol abuser. Take heed of this and any other helpful warnings and we all just might survive the night to see 2010. This has been a public service announcement from your friends the underground because we luh you.

PHMF remains to be the best bathing suit wearing electro-ghetto-crunk duo ever to break up on the night of the debut record release and it was oh so good to see them back together again. Oh, and Miko Miko and Le Joshua effing killed.
