Ghost White Ale

Monday, July 30, 2012

No, I didn’t name my shoegaze band Game of Drones after the television show; I named it after a book that a television show just happens to be based on. There’s a difference. One is pop-culture-y and low-brow; the other one is literary, thus making it high-brow. And if you’d ever listened to our stuff, you’d know that we take on deep, complicated issues like the books, not just the soft stuff that you’d use to fill an hour of prime time television.

In fact, why don’t I show you what I mean. We could have a few beers and listen to one of our records, and you’ll hear all of what I’m talking about.

What did you say? We could have some “Ghost White Ale”? I’m sorry… why are you laughing? I don’t get it?

Oh, is this some reference. See, that’s the problem. I’ve never actually read the books or seen the show. I just liked the pun.

Wear this shirt: while playing that game with the phones.

Don’t wear this shirt: if you’re playing that game of clones.

This shirt tells the world: “You might not get it, but to me, this reference is a game of knowns.”

We call this color: game of slate[ones]
