I just got back from watching Travis Morrison play at JR’s. Three songs into his set, he insulted some of his oldest and most loyal fans in Fayetteville including me and a handful of other people who were, up until that point, thoroughly enjoying the show.

Travis was the frontman for The Dismemberment Plan before they broke up a couple of years ago. In case you don’t know, The Dismemberment Plan (or D-Plan for short) are/were one of the most innovative and influential bands in independent music history. They played sold out shows all over the country and when they disbanded, tons of people (even in Arkansas) were at a loss for words. Travis’ solo record, Travistan, did not go over as well as you might assume. Even I had a hard time listening to it on the first go-around. But the guy is a great songwriter, so when I heard he was coming to town, I marked my calendar and showed up (on a Monday night at that).

Note to self: If there are only 21 people at your show, try not to insult nearly 1/3 of them because when they innevitably turn around and leave the club, there will only be about 14 left and that’s just flat out embarrassing. Although, not as embarrassing as this.

Travis Morrison “People Die”

I decided a few months ago that I would release all the videos on a DVD after I made twelve of them. Well, that didn’t happen. But thirteen is the magic number here at Crasymaker.com so for only $6.00 (that includes shipping, too), you can watch them all in high-quality (pretty decent quality) on your big-screen TV in the comfort of your own home while wearing absolutely nothing (or clothes). Click on the image at the top-right of the page and you’ll be on your way to owning the dumbest thing ever burned onto a DVD. Just kidding, the videos totally rule. Thank you.

Ben Folds Five “Video Killed The Radio Star”

Dustin’s birthday was two days ago. I am always late with birthdays. Eat it.

New Kids On The Block “Happy Birthday”

I have no idea how to describe the latest addition to the video section but don’t let that keep you from clicking here and watching it.

Built To Spill “I Would Hurt A Fly”

On Friday, June 3, a new club called The 3rd Rail is holding their grand opening show and guess who’s playing? That’s right, The Good Fear, ya’ll. Also playing are Kings Of New England and Doug Deluca so come out and watch us all if you’re in the NW Arkansas area. The show is all ages and The 3rd Rail is located at 523 W. Poplar St. in Fayetteville.
