Thanks to everyone who came out for our inaugural Live Music/Dead Meat show last night, and extra special thanks to the Turf Club for having us, Dante & the Lobster, The Softrocks, Lookbook and The Guystorm for sharing their fantastic music with us, Craig of Gastro Non Grata for pouring wine, Landon Schoenfeld for preparing an awesome meal and to elk and bison for being so damned tasty when covered in squirtable cheese!
Thanks also to the guy who stopped by the meat table to tell me what kind of meat stick he was (venison). I am glad folks in the community are taking advantage of KHO Appreciator's test to learn a little more about themselves. We can all benefit from self-discovery.
Here are a few pictures our deer friend (clever) Robyn took in between bites of elk.

Nick, everyone's favorite door guy, taking in some meat. Take note - Nick's awesome band Leisure Birds is playing the Turf tomorrow.
Thanks thanks thanks all around!
We at Stuffed Pheasant are scheming about our next show as you read this. Perhaps fish. Perhaps an outdoor barbecue. Perhaps more taxidermy. Perhaps we can get Kent Hrbek to join us?
Tonight at the Live Music/Dead Meat show (if you haven't a clue what I'm talking about, scroll down) we will be giving away many door prizes which may be of little consequence to many of you. BUT there is one that may pique your interest more so than a bait bucket - two free tickets to the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy show at the Walker next Thursday.
I'm back!! Did you miss me? You must have, judging by the calls, letters, emails and flowers! Anyhow, I’m back where I belong with two feet planted firmly in the blogosphere. So what’ve I been up to? Well, the fact of the matter is that blogging just isn’t paying the bills yet (no affront to you, Madame Editor!!), so I’ve had to focus my energy on my daytime gig as a psychometrician, measuring the tastes, talents, and personality traits of the masses.
Well, it’s been time well spent! Just take a glance at the recent professional journals! The KHO Appreciator broke the field wide open!! As Robert Christgau put it, “he’s the Vampire Weekend of personality testing.”
I digress…
So, I’ve decided that a nice way to get back into this crazy business of blogging is by giving you a little taste of what I’ve been working on for the past few months. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the pop-up ads for personality tests on all of the popular social networking sites. Well, have you ever wished that there was one more closely tailored to the outdoors enthusiast? One that might tell you something about the life that you live? I thought so! That’s why I’m so damned proud to present you with “What Kind of Meat Stick Am I?”. Just go through and respond to these statements on a scale of 1 to 5 (1: Strongly Disagree, 2: Somewhat Disagree, 3: Neutral, 4: Somewhat Agree, 5: Strongly Agree). When you’re done, add up your score and check out the Meat Stick Scale at the bottom to find out what you are. Now, I’m going to spare you the treatise on method and just assure you that this is an incredibly well thought out test that is incredibly accurate. So be as honest as you can be and enjoy! Also, feel free to post your results as this test should also be quite useful in helping us understand what type of authoritarianism the country is likely to slip into should the economy get much worse!
The Test:
1- I am an archetypal outdoors enthusiast... 2- Guns help us git' to gittin' 'r done... 3- I think it is ok for my employer to distribute religious materials in the breakroom... 4- A network of private armies financed by industrial trusts & cartels is probably more realistic... 5- I find that sports analogies make me feel better about certain inter-office dynamics... 6- I consider myself a bobcat in the sack... 7- You don't feed the dog good hamburger meat. Especially in times like these. Dogs eat dog food... 8- I follow through well past completion... 9- Deep seated insecurities prevent me relating to the natural world in an authentic manner... 10- The federal government should take a more active role in the regulation of cultural production... 11- Sudden interest in eastern philosophies is a sure sign of an extra-marital affair... 12- If men like Vince Lombardi were running the banks we wouldn't be in this mess... 13- A robust centrism is the Jacobinism of our time... 14- I often end up where I started... 15- I think it is ok for my employer to use sports analogies to rationalize certain decisions that negatively affect the well-being of my co-workers… 16- A private army of Vince Lombardi's would be much more efficient... 17- The rapid growth of social networking sites is the best example of the Sinicization of our culture... 18- We are entering the final stage of the current Era of Personal Responsibility... 19- I have the basic skills required to run a household by myself... 20- Marijuana's long-standing connection to jazz music is what distinguishes it from other legal drugs and makes its use another example of the Sinicization of our culture… 21- I like to work alone on projects... 22- I would describe most of my opinions as commonsensical... 23- A new spirit of commonsensicality could still save poetry from petit bourgeois charlatanism... 24- I hold most of my co-workers in high regard... 25- While I do not believe in the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, I can still appreciate novels & films by artists that do hold this view… 26- I married the love of my life... 27- Solid evidence of the existence of the Skunk Ape is out there... 28- There is less difference between deep space and the deep sea than a modern, scientistic culture will acknowledge... 29- No Name Steaks are just more convenient sometimes... 30- I find the concept of self-esteem silly for non-Buddhist reasons... 31- We need another Emerson to clearly articulate the importance of Teamsmanship... 32- The flat tax would be a commonsensical tax... 33- I think that the federal government should take a more active role in the regulation of my insecurities... 34- I provide more than enough for my family... 35- I am an active participant in a number of membership organizations related to gun rights... 36- I get frustrated when a sports analogy does not make sense because I'm talking to someone that does not like sports... 37- I would sacrifice certain liberties to get the hunting season extended…
Normal Beef Stick – 37 to 50 Teriyaki Beef Stick – 51 to 65 BBQ Beef Stick – 66 to 95 Extra Spicy Beef Stick – 96 to 110 Smokey Beef Stick – 111 to 130 Venison Meat Stick – 131 to 145 Ostrich Meat Stick – 146 to 170 Alligator Meat Stick – 171 to 182Bear Meat Stick - 183 to 185
So that's it, guys. I hope it's been enlightening. Keep your eyes peeled on this fine blog as I'll be coming around alot more often from now on! Also, get yourself down to Stuffed Pheasant's first Live Music/Dead Meat event at the Turf Club featuring many local music bands and the KHO Appreciator himself (I'll be holding a single red rose!). Hope to see you there!
In fewer than 48 hours, you will be putting free meat in your face. You will be pouring free wine down your gullet. You will be crossing your fingers as door prizes are drawn, hoping you are the lucky winner of that jerky. That bait bucket. That rabbit fur-lined camo hat. Or, if you are truly lucky, that South Dakota is Big Cock Country trucker hat. In fewer than 48 hours, you will be satiated and you will be stylin'.
We will see you at the Turf Club, Wednesday night.
Hey. You. A couple'a good things happenin' tonight!
My favorite thing ever at 331 Club. I am exaggerating a little as it is my tendency to do so. My li'l buddy Grant (now of Lookbook, which will be playing at Live Music/Dead Meat next week take note please) is performing this evening as Sun Giant. His Sun Giant shit is amazing. I really like it very much. I would have pointed you in the direction of a myspace page but it seems to have dropped off the internet. Quick google search produced his EP and I hope it's cool that I post it right here. Go listen, and come down tonight! Grant plays around 10. He is opening for Bill Caperton and Peter Leggett, both cool and talented dudes and with Leggett fresh off a European tour with Kid Dakota. Go early for BLINGO! and tacos! Free, as always. This kicks off a weekly series Caperton and Leggett will be doing for a month of Tuesdays.
His Mischief Listening Party @ Turf in the Clown Lounge. 10ish I think? And free. They have an awesome lineup for their CD release next Friday night at the Turf (Har Mar Superstar, Dynamiters and Leisure Birds) but treat yourself to an early listen tonight.
And, if you heard the rumor that Halloween, Alaska would be playing a free secret show at the Uptown tonight, well I guess that fell through. But if you want your Dave King fix (yeah, who doesn't?) you can read this bullshit I wrote about him last summer while drunk. I read it earlier today, and it cracked me right up. That was back when I couldn't stop writing about Neil Peart's rotating drum riser. I fixate on things, I know.
AMERICA'S BEEN THROUGH ALOT...Economic Crisis...An Historic Presidential Election...The Deaths of Rudy Ray Moore & Ricardo Montalban...The Crash Landing of US Airways Flight 1549...& The Continuing Saga of the Oct0-Mom... One voice has been missing...
In times such as these, certain men are called upon to do more than their share for the good of all... Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger III is such a man. But his time has passed... Cancel your speaking engagements and have a seat, Captain Sullenberg! The KHO Appreciator is coming back to Stuffed Pheasant and it's happening this week!!Things will never be the same.
The music video that most influenced my psychological development as a child was George Harrison's cover of "Got My Mind Set On You."
This version, less so.
Though it did give me certain ideas about what it takes to pick someone up in an arcade, and since I was 7 I've wanted someone to win a porcelain ballerina from a crane machine and give it to me. I'm still waiting on that, but I realize it will take time. A whole lot of precious time. Patience, and time.
