Mystery Media Part I
They say that no publicity is bad publicity.
So who knows HOW to take the following mention in The Onion AV Club Today...they got the time wrong...there is a picture of a band that is neither Michael Fairchild NOR The Lollards...and there's no mention of headliner The Getaway Drivers...never mind their strange description of both Michael's band and The Lollards:
"Michael Fairchild + The Lollards
Electric Earth (W. Washington Ave), 7pm
Okay, so who in Madison HASN'T seen a dude with a guitar and a beatbox playing his clever little songs in a coffee shop? Michael Fairchild might be your best bet for catching up on that particular staple of the cosmopolitan life. He's got experience playing music that could be severely annoying but that, in his hands, is merely a tad cutesy, leaving room for redeeming wordplay and playful melodies. Laid-back and rootsy fellow locals The Lollards should bring a little balance to the bill."
At least we're not portentious...
[UPDATE: 1/29/2007: The local music editor for the AV Club contacted The Lollards and personally apologized for the mistakes. Gotta give the guy a little credit for stepping up...AND for bothering to read our blog! This could be the start of a beautiful friendship...though Michael may still require more convincing...or at least a little cuddling and heavy petting...]

I've always thought of the Lollards as more cutesy than laid-back. But that's just me.
ROCK!!
