Top 5 May Shows at Which You Are Most Unlikely to Find a New Girlfriend
Hey guys, are you single and want it to stay that way? Then consider hitting up these five May shows, because the likelihood of finding a new lady friend -- or any lady at all -- is pretty slim.
"No Wave" Book Reading (May 2, Crooked Beat Records)
A book reading about a microgenre of borderline-unlistenable music from 30-or-so years ago? Hey ladies! (Okay, No Wave is only unlistenable to some; James Chance rules if you ask me.)
Earth (May 4, Rock and Roll Hotel)
Improv drone metal + Sunday night = dating hotspot!
Singer (May 6, Velvet Lounge)
Really, any show at the Velvet would qualify, but the one featuring former members of all-time weirdos U.S. Maple takes the cake for May.
Polvo (May 9, Black Cat)
A reunion show by a semi-obscure '90s indie rock band with noise-rock, post-rock and math-rock tendencies. Hott.
Dream Theater (May 26, Constitution Hall)
This would be the show to attend if you want to meet someone who gives guitar lessons at a music store. (I hear Victor Litz is closing early that night!)

You all are a bunch of jackasses...always have been. Good to see things haven't changed.

I assume Rush will be #1 in the July edition of this?
