First game of the year

Happy new year! Mondays game was a scream. I got a few compliments on my djing skeels, which is always a good feeling. Played alot of B sides and rare things that are from bands you would recognize normally, but not the songs playing. Like for example, "The Diary of Horace Wimp" off ELO's Discovery album. It's like Mr. Blue Sky pt. 2, awesome tune. I love deep tracks, there really is no better feeling than to discover a song on a record thats like, the 8th track on the album, might not have this MONSTER chorus that would have made it a hit, but YOU like it better than anything in the world. It's the same thrill you get when you find a new band no one knows about or a rare record find. Good stuff!

So, we're going to be in Time Out NY next week. They're doing a piece on trivia games around the city. Thats a great thing, I wish I could play more. I need to find a good game somewhere besides my own. Got to support the scene, dude! We trivia host gotta look out for each other! We're so underappreciated.

I also wanted to adress something my Time Out interviewer said about how either the Unholy Trinity or The Cherry Flavored Schmoos always won the games. Well, no, they don't always win. They DO win alot because they are good, very good, but there are certainly times when some completely new teams will show up and run thangs. It's always very cool.

That said, this weeks winners were:

ROUND 1: THE UNHOLY TRINITY
ROUND 2: THE CHERRY FLAVORED SCHMOO'S
ROUND 3: THE UNHOLY TRINITY

Yeah,...
