Princes' understudies...

Last nights opinion question was who was Pinces' hottest female protogee. The 10 point was Vanity, mainly because I've always been facinated by her and thats my opinion. Lot's of people chose Applonia Kotero, which is completely understandable and was certainly worth 5 points. Hell, maybe I'm wrong, maybe she was hottest, but then, Carmen Electra (who's last name Prince bestowed on her) was also one of the harum.

But, I digress.

Vanity was #1 muse because she was from New Orleans, not particularly jaw dropping, and sorta talented and had wild sex and crack binge's with Nikki Sixx. Ass opposed to just being eye candy like most of the others, (Kim Bassinger, please pick up the "Man, I wish I could sing" courtesy phone). And, I find that amusing.

Last nights winners were:

ROUND 1:
(Technical- Piano's Staff) drink winners- Kansanadia

ROUND 2:
I Can't Believe It's Not Todd

ROUND 3:
(Technical- Piano's Staff) drink winners- Glasses Are Cool

Only 1 week til The National residence at Bowery, til then the boys are in Europe eating worse food and drinking better wine.

Jon Stewart is funny,...no really!

Damn, we had a great time last night! I'm sitting on my couch, half dressed, eating omelette, and watching a Jon Stewart stand-up from 1996. 1996 was a great year, Oasis was poppin' Blur was still relevant, I had met a great girl in Atlanta where I was going to ad school and life was good. It sucks to grow up. Really does.

Aaaaanyway, the usual suspects cleaned up last night but you know what, there are some definite up and comers in the works that are kicking ass lately (looking at you Air Force 1 and 2!).

Heres the winners from last night:

1st round: (Technical win: Pianos Staff) Drink winners: The Schmoo (there would be only one for the first round, and she took it!)
2nd round: Glasses are Cool
3rd round: The Schmoos

We really would like to get some new blood in to knock these guys out of the winners circle. And thats in the works, more later.

The Smiths, etc..

Ok, so about two years ago I started liking The Smiths. Before, I hated them, really didn't get it. I thought they were ok songwriters, with and average singer with his whole "am I gay, am I not, I look like an Irish Elvis" schtick,...personally I thought it was bullshit. BUT, I have seen the light and finally, 20 years later "got it". Shoplifters of the World, Sheila Takes a Bow, etc,..BRILLIANT! Yay for fucking me, right? I'm a moron, right? No, THIS guy is a moron. This guy is the OTHER side of that whole thing. Here is a factoid, that was posed as a question last night.

In 1987, some guy held up a radio station in Denver, CO for 5 HOURS and demanded they play nothing but The Smiths, and at gunpoint, they did it.

Now, that guys' a moron. I love Iron Maiden, but I wouldn't even do THAT! Well, thats also because I'm sane,...a little.

Here's last nights winners:

1st round- (technical win- Pianos staff), drink winners- Unholy Schmoo's

2nd round- Team Tallahassee

3rd round- Unholy Schmoo's

Show hype of the week: Well, The National are supporting The Arcade Fire on their tour of the US this and last week, THE FUCKING ARCADE FIRE!! Sadly, it's sold out and you can't go if you haven't already gotten tickets.

Thats awesome and I'm very proud of the boys. But otherwise, in Un-sold out news:

SAT 5/12
THE CHANGES + TAKKA TAKKA + THE END OF THE WORLD at UNION HALL

(the night before, Elk City are playing at Union Hall, make it a two nighter!)

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

They're paying attention..

We got a mention on the gothamist.com yesterday, yay for that. Thanks ya'll! Things were a bit rocky last night. Tech difficulties, last minute questions, short films,etc. We made it though, because Miz Dj Shred Savage and I are professionals, right? Right.

Winners:

Round 1: (Technical) The Pianos Staff, (drink winners) Unholy Todd

Round 2 & 3: new comers Air Force One (Nicely done guys!)

I played round 2 with a lovely girl named Lena who was there all on her own. Making new friends is cool.

Tonight is night 2 of Sousalves record release residency at Midway and our friend Debbie Sassivier is opening at 8pm, DO NOT miss this rock goddess! Sousalves at 10pm.
