The author focused on three performers:  Final Fantasy, St. Vincent and Panda Bear - all of whom I like, esp Panda Bear and his crazy-kooky Animal Collective compadres.  And yes, as author he (John Wray) has every right to select his subjects and thesis at whim.  But seems to me Wray does absolutely minimal stretching and investigating beyond June’s lineup at Northsix in Williamsburg.

Really?  You’re going to publish an entire article on the art of introducing electronic-based looping into the pop/rock idiom, giving credit to Trey Anastasio of Phish (just threw up in my mouth a bit, sorry), but no mention of the following:

read up, look at pictures, and let’s go back

RSVP and get stupd this is the wurst evr.

I know here in No Performance land our jokes are myeeeeaaa and our content psssshhhheeeaaa, but today we’re bringing you an important lesson in…economiccceeeaaaaa.

I’ve had my “identity” stolen at least 8 times since having a credit card. One time, someone used my credit card number to buy mail-order art and donate to the Canadian Red Cross. Understandable. Well done. Another time two “businesses” in Victorville, CA (it’s on the way to Vegas) racked up $5000 worth of purchases. One was called “Clothing & More” (come on) and the other “Mooring Detail Service” (you’ve seen my car). Now I’ve had enough.

Today I went to GNC to buy some amino acid thing someone told me to get. I looked at my credit card slip and it had my credit card number front and center. I started marking it out with a pen — why would I trust this pockmarked nutritionist porkbelly with my credit card number? And am I really supposed to trust her unhygienic face and disgusting body shape with my nutrition? She starts yelling - YELLING - at me for scratching it out. She wanted to void the ticket and redo the transaction. I LEFT THE AMINO ACID AND WALKED THE FUCK OUT.

Now I know that the majority of stores I visit have figured out a way to keep my number internal to their system - WITHOUT ever printing it on a credit card slip. Last 4 numbers? I’m totally cool with that. But, in this day and age, for the love of legitimacy, figure it the fuck out. Other stores have.

Below I will post full contact information for businesses that refuse to update their credit card systems and remove full credit card numbers from their receipts. I encourage you to scratch off your full credit card number off any receipt. Leave the last four numbers if you’re nice. Send me their contact information and I’ll add them to this list. I deserve privacy. You do too.
