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.
