Former Akamilli Singer Opening for NIN

---

In high school I was into this band called Akamilli. I went to high school with the lead singer, Dave Sitek, a somewhat Morrissey-like dude in artsy black-rimmed glasses. The only song I remember them preforming was a ska version of 'I'm not your stepping stone'. Later on, my boyfriend at the time was moving in to an apartment with Dave's ex-roomate Ryan, a very strange man with reptilian mannerisms who decided to rig some chemistry equipment to attempt to distill grain alchol in his living room with the eventual purpose of creating a grain alcohol THC cordial. His girlfriend Cara had scabs all over her legs, and when they had sex she sounded like a cat coughing up a hairball. Eventually he was going to move to Arizona, and wasn't going to tell his girlfriend. He didn't see a problem with that.

Anyway I lost interest in Dave one day when I found out that Ryan was going to throw away a giant box of Dave's tapes that he left behind in the apt. I thought these might be important to him and that it was dickish to throw them away so I took the box over to Dave's house to return them. Pretty nice, right?? He was totally not appreciative, didn't even say thanks, just took the box. Dick. Anyway, I just found out that the band he is in now, TV on the Radio, is opening for NIN and Bauhaus. Crazy. Click here if you want to watch their video. Don't ask what was going on with my hair that day in the photo, and don't act like you don't have embarrassing pictures of yourself from when YOU were 14, or I will track them down and post them on my blog for everyone to laugh and point!
