The Unblinking Ear Podcast 1/29/15

The first release on Unblinking Ear Records, the praised by cultural potentates 28-song compilation Serious Rockers has been available for nearly two months. So, of course, now is the perfect time to have a record release show, especially since half the physical copies have already been sold. However, if you'd like to ignore issues of timing, I do hope you'll attend and enjoy this monumental event at the fine establishment Pine Box Rock Shop.

A third possibility is that she's method acting in preparation for a role, much like that chick from Twilight was possibly doing when she was spotted sporting a Minor Threat t-shirt Comic Con. (She's playing Joan Jett in the upcoming Runaways biopic. Yes, I know it's an anachronism but I don't know if she knows.) However, I'm not entirely sure that Ms. Patridge has ever "acted" in anything. Perhaps I'm being too harsh. If one can simulate something resembling human emotion in a scripted pseudo-reality show, you've got to have some thespian skills.
