What is Todd up to? Is he still in Chicago, or back to MPLS? Any Brick Layer Cake news?

grazie!

He always appears to be very busy in December. Then round about the 24th he seems to dissapear from the face of the earth. No one hears from him for a couple of days and then he returns looking a little worn out.

Just one of lifes mysteries I guess.

funny you should say that, i swear i saw reindeer shit on his shoe at the final london show. obviously been out grooming that morning...

brick layer cake plays pretty infrequently...in fact I think they only played once locally this past yr

I made a complete drunken dick of myself by shouting a question regarding this at the band during the informal 'Q&A'...
Me
"When arrrgh Brick Layah Caaake gonna play Lahn-dun?"
Bob Weston
"When you buy more of their records"
(I hope he didn't mean me personally)
Me
"Todddd Trrainer RRROCKS"
Bob Weston
"Yes he does"

I swear to god if I do this again at a gig I want the crowd to pound me into a big brown heap.
Anyway, after the gig as Shellac are packing away I approached Todd to ask him about future plans for his band. It sounds like they're rehearsing, but with no gigs or albums in the pipeline. I could be wrong, I was pissed.
I'm getting too old to drunkely accost members of bands in this way.

Todd is back here and there have been some BLC shows here and there.

As a friend once said:

"I saw Todd Trainer walking his Italian Greyhound the other day,
His hair was perfect."

Yes, yes, Mr. Trainer has the beautiful style.

There are the ugly ones who put the suit, which is for the cheating.

Suit is the default style for the ones without. Like the uniform for the children. So style but not yours.

I asked my friend once, "What are Thalia Zedek's songs about?"

He said, "Lesbian relationships."

This is the stylish joke, the one that is true, so makes for the funny.

Hi. I have no idea what the hell this means.

BLC will be performing on Feb 26th at First Ave. According to local folklore Mr. Trainer is single again. Sleek, sexy and black as a racehorse. He's a thoroughbred alright.

i heard a dirty rumour that blc was actually todd on drums and steve and bob switched around instrument-wise. any torch-bearers care to shed some light?

I was standing four of five feet to your right and nearly did pound you into a big brown heap following your unexpectedly loud query. Still, you seem like an OK guy on here. One fine day the internet will put an end to all petty hostilities.
