SIC: Ok! So, as the new(ish) fearless leader of the RFT music blog, A to Z, this is your first ever RFT Music Showcase. How 'bout that famous icebreaker, Two Truths and a Lie? You tell us two facts about yourself that are TRUE and include one fact that is a LIE, hence the name Two Truths and a Lie. We'll try to pick the lie.
KM: I was (briefly) in a band that covered both Pavement and Garth Brooks. I was once fired from a coffee shop for refusing to refill the honey bear unless my douchebag boss could figure out how to ask me in the active voice rather than the passive. I hate Fall Out Boy. Specifically "Sugar, We're Going Down."
SIC: The Fall Out Boy one is SUCH a red herring, but I'm falling for it. That's the lie, right?
KM: That's the lie! Mystery may not be my strong suit.
SIC: The douchebag boss one was just so detailed. If that wasn't true, I'd tell you to write a book. Now, let's play Trump the Twitters: tell us in 100 characters or less what we can expect at this year's Showcase. (Yes, we are going to count!)
KM: You will hear St. Louis music: the story of this city being told in some 78 languages and dialects.
SIC: Ooh, very nice. Finally, it's graduation time. Nostalgia for tassel turning and senior superlatives is in the air. So, fill in the blanks for us...
