Dear Billy Corgan,

REALLY?!? ... I don't get it.
Is this a joke?

Dear Cut Off Your Hands,

You were every bit as amazing as we thought you would be. Even though we couldn't understand anything Nick said, with the exception of song titles, we were blown away by his dancing prowess and his arms. (Oh, those arms!) And we're sure any girl would love to be the girl you sing about in "Oh Girl."



Come back soon.

Love,
Enola Gay and Margot Tenenbaum

P.S.
Phil, marry me. Love, Enola Gay

Dear Kid Sister,

Now, we've been patiently awaiting the release of your debut LP Dream Date for almost a year now, and there is still no definite release date. Last year, it was set to come out in early summer, so we waited, and got nothing because apparently the release had been postponed to September. Understandable enough. We continued to wait ... the album was then set to drop on November 24th, the same day as the new KanYe album. Cool, that's just fine. Along with the release, you were supposed to play a show in NY at Bowery Ballroom.

So, we continued to wait for November 25th, only to find that the show was canceled and moved to February and the album was postponed once again. This time, it was set to hit stores on January 27th.

January 27th came, and still no sign of the long awaited Dream Date. And would ya look at that, the show at Bowery was moved for the 56475674 billionth time. April 25th, you say? Absolutely not.

We checked the status of the show yesterday only to find that it was CANCELED! ... not postponed, just canceled completely.
Kid Sister, or should we say Melisa, you are most definitely the most unreliable musician we can think of.
Yes, you are more unreliable than Spank Rock, and that says a whole lot.

Your Twitter informs us that you have enough time to go skiing and stuff, so why don't you have enough time to just drop the album and play a few shows?? Is it that difficult?

Love,
Margot Tenenbaum and Enola Gay

P.S.
Are you pregnant?

P.P.S.
If so, why does A-trak have enough time to play shows?

Dear Dave 1,

I thought I recognized you talking on your phone, standing across the street from me. As I crossed the street, people got in my way so you and I ended up almost bumping into each other. We apologized simultaneously. When I heard your speaking voice, I was almost sure it was you. I told you, "It's okay." And really, it was. You can bump into me anytime, and I think I'd be okay with it.

But even more than that, I would like to see you and P-Thugg finally play. It was such a sweet surprise when you dj'ed alongside your brother at The Fool's Gold Party in October. You don't have any shows coming up besides the Sasquatch Festival, so can you please, please, please do a NY show soon? I would be more than okay with that.

Love,
Enola Gay

Dear Luke LaLonde,

So after seeing Born Ruffians for the second time last wednesday, I am officially obsessed.
Of course, it was a little difficult to fully appreciate you the first time because it was pouring rain, sticky and disgusting and we had been waiting on a horrible line for three hours and still ended up being towards the back of the crowd. But this time, I was right in the front and I was able to truly experience your greatness.

I've probably listened to "Hedonistic Me" like 50 times within the last two weeks. What a fantastic song.

Anyways, I'd just like to say that you're a fantastic musician with a ridiculous voice and a fantastic band.
That is all.

Love,
Margot Tenenbaum

Dear Julie Steinberg,

I had resigned myself to the sad fact that we would not be seeing Tokyo Police Club because it was sold out. None of the ticket sellers on Craiglist seemed legit, but then I happened upon your post less than 24 hours before the show, "Re: Two Tickets to see Tokyo Police Club @ Webster Hall FACE VALUE - $36." Now I wasn't sure if that meant you were selling tickets or looking to buy tickets at face value. But alas, you were selling them!

We agreed that I would drop an envelope with the money at the concierge in your building on the Upper West Side since you wouldn't be in the city. The concierge knew right away who I was when I told him that I was picking up an envelope. And it was not the least bit awkward when he asked if it would be okay to check the envelope for $36, and I checked the ticket print outs. He even told me to, "Enjoy the show!"

As with any purchase off of Craigslist, we were slightly skeptical about the tickets. We prayed to the Show Gods that there would be no issues as it got scanned. And there weren't.

So thank you, Julie Steinberg, for being making two girls very happy by selling them your tickets. You obviously have great taste in music, and maybe we'll catch you at a show sometime.

Love,
Enola Gay
