Weird

I had a dream last night that I was at a sex club auditioning for a job. Only because attached to the sex club was an amazing studio I could record in for free if I was employed there. The lady running the place was a real ball buster too. I ended up not taking the job in my dream. Come out to trivia tonight and make sure I'm ok...

If theres a hipster heaven, they're going to have a hell of a band OR My night in hell.

So, I went to see Interpol Friday night at Madison Sq. Garden. Typically I hate to see shows there as the sound is usually all over the place although, ironically, the best sounding show ever was Radiohead at MSG in 2001, but I digress. I missed the Liars, not that I cared much, not a fan of their bizarre cacophony. Caught an underwhelming Cat Power set with her band, the Dirty Delta Blues band. The only dirty thing a saw was their hair but maybe I was too far away. I dunno.. Then the black clad boys joined the fray from behind a 50ft tall scrim that was supposed to come down much earlier than it did.

A friend saw something poetic in that. I thought about it some more and they were right.

I mean, their brand of Kraut influenced rock has always been delivered from behind some veil of insecurity and snotty apathy. Not to say I don't enjoy some snotty apathy, I do, but when it finally went down and we could see them better, those kids seemed to be having a good time up there. I swore I even saw Carlos crack a smile, or what would pass for one, a couple of times. There also seems to be a new love for groove and what some might call a more pedestrian sense of melody in that you find yourself humming along more than usual. I like that. Good for them. Maybe they're cheering up in their, uhh, mid to upper 20's??

Speaking of hipsters, Thurston Moore put out a solo record today. It's supposed to be good, lemme know what you think.

LAST NIGHTS WINNERS WERE:

1. THE UNHOLY FLAVORED SCHMOOS
2. CMG- New comers, nice guys!
3. THE UNHOLY FLAVORED SCHMOOS

OH, btw, whoever asked about that country rock book I'm reading, it's called 'Are You Ready For The Country' and I can't remember who the author is but I'll look around for it and let you know.

Thats all for now dear readers, stalk ya later!

Heah's ya beah!!

I've been thinking about country music alot lately, been reading a book on the connection of it to rock, and I'm becoming much more interested in it. There was a time when I'd rather listen to hipsters talk about how much better the Elephant 6 collective used to be as opposed to today or how awesome MisShapes this week (seriously, if you ever hear me speaking about either one, hang me without benefit of trial and dump my sad ass in the Hudson) than country music, but old school stuff s not so bad. And screw you if you don't like the Eagles. I do. You know, rocks' beloved Bob Dylan was through, done, put a fork in Bob he's over. That is until Jonny Cash insisted he come to Nashville and be on his weekly TV show,...and play electric. Folkies actually wretched in the streets, but the rest of the country forgave Bob, liked the new direction and thus an icon was born. So, the couple of you who hate on country music, be a bit more open minded like all NYers are supposed to be. Oh, yeah and one more thing, all you NYC'ers who slag on the South about how dumb we are, and backwards, et al, just remember, blues and country came from the South, no country, no rock. No backward-ass rednecks, no Elephant 6 collective,...er, wait, Elephant 6 is from Athens GA!! There you have it.

Ugh,..I'm not making any sense am I?? Heres the winners from last night:

THE CHERRY FLAVORED SCHMOOS SWEPT THE NIGHT, WINNING ALL 3 ROUNDS.

Go buy the new Forms record, it's awesome! Stay tuned for Hipster Olympics!!

No trivia tonight!

Sorry if you showed up anyway. Next week we're back so come out!!!
