Just like you, Matt Wild plays (played?) in a rock and roll band and is constantly broke. He has all his original hair, however, and weeps openly at baseball games.

Two things: I've been having a pretty terrible week, and The Hold Steady's new album is their most embarrassing to date.

Honestly, this whole "indie populist" thing has gotten really irritating. All-ages shows! Chill-out tents! Cutters! Adderall! We can all relate!

Here's a video from when they were only kinda-sorta awful. It features a girl I once slept with:


This weekend holds the promise of art galleries and collapsing social circles.*

Because we're huge dorks, we spent a good part of our time in Branson, MO driving to various locations and telling awful jokes that made little to no sense. Here are a few of the keepers:

We're back, alive and in one piece. Oh, Branson, you melted our cold, cold hearts.

Over the next few days, expect a plethora of new videos. For today, we'll focus on the ridiculous and mundane, like this one shot during our initial 10-hour road trip:

CIGARETTES & ENERGY SPRAY




And who wouldn't want to see the unspeakably lovely and talented Amy Elliott catch grapes in her mouth and play an accordion (not at the same time, unfortunately):

BRANSON, MO
AMY CATCHES GRAPES AND PLAYS HER ACCORDION




Finally, here's a quick clip of two nice fellows we met on the Branson Landing. They call themselves Buckets N Boards, and this is what they do:

Oh-so-much more to come.

What can you say about a day that involved dinosaurs, D&D geeks, underwater picnics, body percussionists, Noah: The Musical, and super-scary ghosts (both real and imagined)? I'm not sure, but I can confidently say that today's Branson adventures made Yakov Smirnoff seem like the height of restraint and good taste. Here's an extremely small sampling (please check back for oh-so-much more):

SUBVERSIONS: ON ASSIGNMENT
BRANSON, MO
DINOSAURS AND HAUNTED HOUSES



Amy's playing polkas on her accordion. I never ever want to leave.
