The new Eureka Reporter “E” publication is out – television listings with some local entertainment listings wrapped around… and it’s not that bad. The layout is solid is and they’ve got some nifty, funky fonts. Sure the AC/DC paraphrase front page headline is a little off (”For those prepared to rock” is Lumberjack writer Melody Stone’s column. She’s now the new Wendy Butler at ER, apparently) – it’s difficult to imagine Brian Johnson mustering a gutteral “prepared” screech, certainly not “Please, if I may be so bold, allow me to put my love within you.” And then there’s the matter of the referenced Ian Fays cover shot – who by their own admission, do not so much rock. Nice picture, though. Real nice picture. You can count on ER to put up a good picture.
Well, initially it was a reference to the Presidents of the United States song “Hello Ladies and Gentlemen” it wasn’t until after the fact that I thought about the ACDC line.
The column is also just highlighting music scene happenings with a tiny bit of commentary. I do realize The Ian Fays don’t rock, but that’s the name of my column and that’s what I’m sticking to.
“For those Prepared to do a little emo shake” really didn’t have a very powerful feel to it.
Thanks for reading.
I really appreciate the mention.
