No Barrier Between Thee Oh Sees and Audience at Human Resources

Mike Watt and The Lesbians wearing New Wigs

Thursday nights in LA are like nowhere else in the world. I knew my Thursday night was on the right track when at 8pm, I drove by a couch that had caught fire along with the car next to it. Nothing like a good ol’ hood bonfire to kick off
