3. Responsible Johnny, Fuera D'Servicio, Morty 40 & The Malts, Bullet Machine at The Peppermill Lounge

Apparently they are doing shows at The Peppermill Lounge, which is rad! We like shows.

What's not rad is the fact we just discovered it.

JC Harmon of The Horn Monger Show told FWN they've "Been doing this since August 2016."

He added, "All shows have free food and free pool." 

JC has a pretty punkalicious lineup on tap tonight. Show starts at 9pm, full event details here.

I Like This Song - I Happy Am's "Pizza Boy"

I Like This Song celebrates songs by local bands sans clichéd music journo over-analysis.

The furthest we take the dissection of songs featured here is, well, you guessed it: "I Like This Song." 

---

Today's featured song "Pizza Boy" comes from I Happy Am's 2016 LP, The Prophet, The Giant, and The Invisible Man.

BONUS ICYMI CONTENT: Fort Worth Noise caught I Happy Am's set at a Dreamy Life in-store last month, ergo, we encourage you all to obsessively stalk this link for photos and words from our little adventure.

Moving on to this week, I Happy Am headlines a FREE SHOW Friday, March 24th at Republic Street Bar feat. local songwriters Jesse Gage and Morgan Lindley. Music starts at 9pm, full event details posted here.

Now then. As a former 'Pizza Boy' I can tell you - no joke - that once a pizza boy, always a pizza boy.

Screw the ramifications, this song has inspired me! I'm gonna use this opportunity to out the PBB aka The Pizza Boy Brotherhood [insert scary bad guy music here] ...

Look, you never hear about the realest of underground conspirators, right? That's the point of being "underground." All you hear about in the media are flaky amateurs like The Freemasons/The Illuminati, etc.

In the PBB they jump you in by pelting you with a day's worth supply of pepperoni frisbees, offering zero aid in the aftermath save for a cold Ziploc bag of mozzarella to soothe your bruising.

Then they test you via harsh trials such as the "Week-long Work Shifts of Christian Radio Station ONLY While Driving Your Deliveries" challenge and the "Smoke Weed in the Freezer All Day Then No GPS, MAPSCO ONLY During Dinner Rush" challenge. 

Like the Mafia and other conspiring fucks, even if you survive all that, they never let you escape. Yea, sure, you may find a new job but they'll always refer to you as Pizza Dude Emeritus and your card could be pulled in a blink!

Whew! Feels better, getting it all out there.

Now that I've endangered myself by doxxing the PBB it's time to quickly offer up our seriously professional music analysis regarding this particular song (ya know, before a hit squad rolls up to my porch with an order of Kill This Snitch Pizza hold the pizza).  

I like this song. 

In fact, I like it more than: 

• cheese likes pepperoni
• $7 tips
• receiving marijuana in lieu of tips
• the Pizza Boy Brotherhood likes to silence their enemies
• deep dish on a sad day :(

Today's featured song comes from El Búho Cósmico's 2016 EP, You're a Sociopath.

Quick aside: I LOVE the name of this EP.

Every time I play a song off their Bandcamp page I read back that album name out loud and feel as if they're calling ME a sociopath. Then I remember I hate other people and have zero conscience to boot, so mustn't be me they're talking about, nope! ;)

Anywho, go check out EBC for yourself this Saturday, March 11th at The Republic Street Bar w/ Mañana Cowboy and Gossamer. Music starts at 9pm, full event details posted here.

Oh yeah ... THIS SHOW IS FREE!!! 

Gonna roll this one up Dad joke-style:

"Knock Knock."

"Who's there?"

"I like."

"I like who?" 

"I like this song!"
