WIERD Presents a Celebration of the History of ANAREXIA(sik)!!!!
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Well I never in all my years did I think it possible I would live to experience this same VRevent twice as I first did back in the frozen cold daze of 2005, but on behalf of WIERD Records I would like to say that this morning my hair straightener melted my mouse...VR...This is now officially the SECOND TIME this sentence has every been uttered in the history of the English language.:

Thank you to everyone who braved the far beyond 'local only' 90 minute train ride up to Columbia for the Xeno & Oaklander show on Sunday afternoon, seeing our Very Rare heroes M.Canterel and Ms. Xeno singing to the big WIERD world beneath a fragile cherry blossom tree gently swaying away to the sounds of the CR-78 in the lovely afternoon Xanten breeze of the frozen hot sun..this one was certainly a sight to remember. Our beloved in-house discursive documentarian Mr. Teardrop has poetically denoted his as always astute thoughts on the afternoon's activities with a few nice images here:

OK this week WIERD is honored to play hostess to our fave ExtraVRestial creature of the Dark Synth NYC night as we celebrate the birth of ANAREXIA at Midnight! As a the infamously elusive Ms. Pre-Op Trans recently said of our queen mega-bitch "COME ON OUT TO WIERD AND SEE HER HAVE HER CAKE AND NOT EAT IT OOOH!!!"...needless to say this evening should be one for the freeky frigid Insekts of the Very Rare Night!: http://www.myspace.com/anarexia
As if this weren't uncomfortable and as wonderfully awkward as ever rumors have tonite we will also be playing host to NYC's King of Conceptuo-Minimale Synthetic visual WIERDness M. Epee du Bois who will also be celebrating his emergence from the frozen cold womb tonite!!! http://www.myspace.com/epeedubois
