Pssst...Here's a Secret

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is playing a secret show tomorrow night with a guest who is currently being kept underwraps. No tickets will be sold at the door and the list is already full. However, you can buy a pair today at noon at Sea Level Records. Tickets are going for $10 a piece and there is a two ticket limit. Just do The People a favor and don't be the guy who shows up in a Jesus and Mary Chain t-shirt.

As a side note, while I was trying to find BRMC's homepage, which is apparently having a bit of technical trouble right now, I came across this article. Having just finished a debate on the evils of selling Jesus for my Pop Culture final, I found it kind of interesting. Seems like certain people are just waiting to stick the Christian Rock tag on anyone who mutters anything that could be twisted around into some sort of religious sentiment. Write a song about hot guys with Jesus hair and you too can end up on Wikipedia's Christian Rock list. Sure, the heathens in LA, SF and NYC will accuse you of proselytizing even though that was never your intent, but maybe you can sell a few more records in Kansas. What I'm really wondering, though, is why the Christian Rock tag has not been slapped on Sinead O'Connor. After all, she is a priest.
