(BC midsong: What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you need and what you need is what you desire. And what you desire and that which you cannot have. Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken. Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken, nothing! All I ever wanted was everything, all I ever wanted was everything, all I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit! Shit. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Loneliness is emptiness and emptiness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and godliness is nothingness. Ow. Hooooo-yeah! Twenty-seven thirteen sixty-six ninety-nine, yeah. Rock is not colorblind. Under the moon of nowhere, I feel something true. Under the moon of nowhere, I sing my song to you. Hooooo-yeah! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. And what have you got?! Nothing. What do you need? Everything. What have you got? Nothing. What do you need? Everything. You need faith and belief. Straight from the heart, nothing. What do you believe in? Nothing. What do you believe in? Nothing! I don’t believe in god, I don’t believe in TV, I don’t believe in Zimmerman, I don’t believe in rock and roll! Rock and roll, rock and roll, lovely rock and roll! Rock and roll. Gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim nothing! Gimme gim gim gim gimme gim gim gim gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim nothing. ... Life ain’t livin’, seein’ ain’t believin’, feelin’ ain’t feelins, knowin’ ain’t knowin’, breathin’ ain’t breathin’. Talkin’ ain’t shit. What have you got, what have you got, what have you got, what have you got, what have you got, what have you got, what have you got, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want, what do you want, what do you need? Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!!!)
Today

Silverfuck / Over the Rainbow (with Spaced tease in intro)
BC: Thanks. Well...do you want us to play another song? (crowd cheers) No, no, yes, yes or no? Alright, we're gonna take a vote. Oh, by –- by the way, did you he –- did somebody already tell that tomorrow's show might be canceled?
Iha: There's a hurricane.
BC: No, I'm serious. So, if you're gonna go tomorrow, make sure you check before you go. Alright, so, we'll take a vote between Starla and Luna. No, Mayonaise is not in the running.
Iha: The Miami Sound Machine, can we hear you? Heh heh.
BC: Alright, so...I'm sure most people don't know what song that is, so I guess we'll just play Starla, I won’t even take a vote.
Iha: Heh, nevermind.
BC: Nevermind, no democracy. (Iha starts Starla intro) So thanks, really, thank you for staying, we appreciate it very much. We'll see ya –- we’ll see ya in a couple years, I guess, and um...and uh, take care, be careful going home. Bye.
