Rock stars hang out with other rock stars

What an amazing night, truly. Last night Scott and Brian Devendorff of The National guest hosted with Conrad and I. And as a bonus, they brought a suprise in tow; Ms. Nicole Atkins. Beat that shit! You can't. Not with a 50 foot mic stand. Even kicked it off with a Bon Jovi question, Mmm,Mmm,Mmm. She's like, the nicest person in the world AND from Neptune NJ, close to my hometown of Long Branch,NJ. Just awesome. She's playing at Bowery Ballroom Rocktober the 12th, you should go. Oh and The National play Terminal 5 on the 11th of that month as well. Two badass shows back to back. I can't thank them enough for helping out last night, you are my heroes!

Go hear them respectivly at:

Also there last night was Aaron Dessner of The National and members of The Forms, The New Pornographers and Grizzly Bear to boot! Lots of good competition and high scores last night.

Winners:
ROUNDS 1 & 2- THE NEW CRUSADERS (AARON DESSNER OF THE NATIONAL, CARL NEWMAN OF THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS AND CRISSY....WELL, EVERYONE KNOWS CRISSY, YEAH?)

ROUND 3- THE LANCELOTS OIF ROCK TRIVIA, THE CHERRY FLAVORED SCHMOOS

We're working on some special upcoming co-hosts, stay tuned, this should be good.

Also, we'll probably take next week off for Labor Day. Theres just too many good outdoor shows to see.

AND, we might be making some Brooklyn stops, theres talk of having SmartAss at the Gowanus Yacht Club when they start up trivia soon, that would be interesting. You guys wanna do this outside in a beer garden?? We'll see what the Pianos peeps say and get back to ya.
