A Reminder

Good times last night, we had Miss Amy Slonaker (she Dj's alot over at Lolita bar) to guest. She did a bang up job in Conrads abscence. Conrd s band, Takka Takka played the Mercury last night. If all goes well, she'll be back next week to sub for busy Conrad.

Amy had a question last night about Man or Astroman that brought back some memories. Man or Astroman are from Atlanta, where I lived for many years before coming to NYC. I was there for 8 great years in the 90's and while Seattle was all broody and sad, there was an amazing music scene that got overlooked in the SouthEast that was much more healthy and positive. I went to SO many of these shows and have notes books filled with reviews I did just to write (I was big into Lester Bangs back then). Some bands in that scene you may or probably haven't heard of were: Long Flat Red, Babyfat, Five Eight, Loudflower, Drive By Truckers, Flat Duo Jets, Carmine, Cat Power, the list goes on. It's a shame that some of those bands never got the attention they deserved. Look some of 'em up, especially Five Eight, they're still kickin' like a Bruce Lee flick.

Here's last nights winners:

WELL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO TECHNICAL WINS BY THE PIANOS STAFF IN THE LAST TWO ROUNDS, THE CHERRY FLAVORED SCHMOO'S SWEPT THE NIGHT. END OF STORY.

WAY TO PUT THAT USELESS INFO TO WORK GUYS!

Sorry there was no post last week, Conrad was supposed to do it but he fell asleep.

My ice cream is melting..

So's my brain, and everything else. Is it hot in here or is it just me?? Summer got here last night around 11:30 and it's pissed. It wants it's CD's back and custody of the dog.

SmartAss was a hoot as usual last night, we went a bit easier on you last night because it is so dizzingly hot outside. Don't want to warp your young minds too bad. Here's how it went:

1ST ROUND: THE FREUDIAN SLIPS

2ND ROUND: THE FREUDIAN SLIPS

3RD ROUND: A TIE- THE UNHOLY TRINITY AND THE GAZILLIONAIRE RUDDY HUDSUCKERS (HUDSUCKERS TOOK IT, NICE!)

Remember folks, don't raise your hands in a tie before the question is answered, it could cost you a free drink.

Just 12 more hours til HP and The Order Of The Phoenix comes out!!!

Sicko

Just saw Sicko, it was an eye-opener.

If you:
-Don't know much about our country's health care system.
-Want to know more.
-Don't mind being pretty pissed off at what you find out.
-Ever secretly wandered what was so great about France and why our government talks so much smack about them.

This is the movie for you.

Its a commutation..

That means I have to pay a $250,000 fine and have two years probation,..IF I decide to take the fall for allowing the outing of a CIA agent. Sorry, those spooks stay a secret, I can't afford it. But, you know, Scooter can.

Personally, I think Bush just felt bad for the guy. You don't send a guy named 'Scooter' to prison. Whats this got to do with rock trivia??? Nothing.

WINNERS FROM LAST NIGHT:

1ST ROUND: KYOTO 5-0

2ND ROUND: THE UNHOLY TRINITY

3RD: (TECHNICAL-PIANOS STAFF) DRINK WINNERS: THE CHERRY FLAVORED SCHMOOS

More later...
