Do Not Blog On Wednesday?, originally uploaded by MissionMission.

We were gonna blog this yesterday, but yesterday was Wednesday. Mission Mission ventured across the bay into Oakland last weekend, and on a trip to Hollywood Video to look for Season 3 of The Wire, stumbled upon this inexplicable item. Is this some kind of street-level effort to monkey with mass-media news cycles? We like teh creative spelling too.

The cover story in last week’s SF Weekly (more like SF Weakly) proclaims that Greg Ashley’s music “demands that you shut up and listen.” So are we to infer from this that SF Weekly generally DOESN’T LISTEN to the music it writes about and reviews and claims to advocate? They have a “reviews” section every week, but are we to understand that this is the first time they’ve deigned to listen to something before writing it up? Here at Mission Mission, we tend to think the chief reason to put music on is to LISTEN to it. We LIKE listening to music. We don’t need someone to “demand” that we do it.
