Playing in a band often involves a higher calling—the beckoning of some rock muse to create a musical monument for the ages. Well, the three guys in The Coke Dares are in those muse-ical bands. They're called Magnolia Electric Co. and The Impossible Shapes, among others. But this isn't that band. The Coke Dares' calling is quick, simple, fast and fun. With 33 songs in 23 minutes, most of them shockingly intricate for 45-second pop-punk jams, Feelin' Up is a little party monster. Each tiny nugget (titles like "Fuck You I Quit" and "Buyin Shit" get right to the point) is a delight, and 30 seconds in you're singing along with the second chorus. Then, before you have a chance to take another sip of beer, there's already another song starting. Perfect for the quick drive to the beach or the most hyperactive jog you ever went on in your life.

Rooooll call!Rooooll call!So, the roll call vote feels more like a game show than a democratic process. It basically goes like this:

Secretary Alice Germond (the host in our little metaphor), says the name of the state, and the giant screen behind her sports the state's name, and how many votes it's been afforded.

"State," says Germond.


Night Two of Pageantry

By CaraBayles on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 2:48 pm

On Monday night, your trusty Dig reporter was relegated to the press gallery, and spent an hour and a half trying to find the damn booth for rotating floor credentials, being sent up and down the stairs, getting a different answer from every DNCC staffer. It made my thighs slightly stronger and the ball of rage in my stomach significantly heavier. It made me wonder how the Dems would run a country, when they can't credential a reporter. But last night I found the magic booth and got onto the floor, so all is forgiven.
