Boo! A spooky ghost here! How are you doing? I’m okay. Once I was alive, but now I’m not. Guess things could be worse. Oh, if you’re wondering, I died from a heart attack. Did you think all ghosts died in tragic, dramatic ways? You’re dumb. Anyway, I mainly just sit around here, listening to Balam Acab’s Wander/Wonder (TMT Review) album from last year. See, it sounds like ghosts and I’m a ghost and, well, stick to what you know.
If I wasn’t tethered to this lame old house that I had my heart attack in, I’d go see Balam Acab live. But I am, so I won’t. You could go, though! He’s going on a fairly lengthy tour this spring, starting at the end of April and running through most of May. All of his shows will be with Active Child, who he’s doing a co-headlining thing with. Frankly, I don’t think Active Child sounds enough like a ghost for me to care, but what do I know? I know about ghosts, because I am a ghost.
