Famously, Chicago's finest minimalist rock trio Shellac Of North America will hold question-and-answer sessions from the stage mid-concert while one band member or another finishes tuning their instrument.Also famously, they once held to the claim that all of their songs were only about two subjects: baseball and Canada.
Shellac's guitarist/curmudgeon Steve Albini and bassist Bob Weston are known to be baseball enthusiasts. At press time it is not immediately clear whether the inhumanly-attuned drummer Todd Trainer is a fan.
So, at last night's concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, tenandfiveguys.com put the question to Weston as he stood resplendent before the audience in his Ignignokt wristband:
Q: "What is your opinion of the current Chicago Cubs?"
A: "They need to fucking hit."
Roger-that. As of today, the Cubbies sport the fourth-worst batting average in the league at .244.
Though they will not be in the Bay Area long enough to go to a game, Weston told us after the show that Shellac will be attending the upcoming Dodgers vs Angels series in Anaheim as their tour takes them southbound.
