Hi everyone. Please don't give up just yet. There is plenty to discuss, just no fucking time to do it. Blog this. Bleh.
I spent most of this week on a hard-ass bench in criminal court in Manhattan, which I can't really get into here, but I did manage to get out and see a few things worth discussing.

Flashmobs are so 2002. Or was it 2003. Anyway, the crazy mofos of a crazy mofo that I know are searching high and low for Johnny Depp. They wrote a movie about him and then tried to find him, then they made a movie about that. I don't know if anyone can find him, but seriously, see if he's driving your cab, resist a complete stalker fit, and slip him a chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747843177262006367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623249.post-1106931450984879352005-01-28T11:32:00.000-05:002005-01-28T12:02:05.646-05:00Bright, er, Sleepy Eyes
So here I am listening to CoCoRosie's La Maison de Mon Reve, and it's just lovely, perfect, awkward and sincere. It reminds me of Cat Power's early stuff. Unfortunately, CoCoRosie was really not the least bit enjoyable to watch last night. Maybe I just was not in the mood for the weirdness after missing Tilly and the Wall, but...

I only have a few random things to say today, having made good on my promise to be sporadic.
First, I've taken up residence at 100 Centre Street. I get to basically watch *live action* Court TV for my job and not be in the office for a while. It's weird, but there is defintely a little cult of Law and Order going on downtown. More on that in the weeks, er, chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05747843177262006367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623249.post-1106338130165655932005-01-21T14:53:00.000-05:002005-01-21T15:08:50.166-05:00Okay--
Remember The Streets? Not, like, A Grand Don't Come For Free-- more like the first "what the fuck?!" you felt when you first heard Original Pirate Material. Yeah, that. Oy. Oy.
You will LOVE Dead Ghosts. They do this weirdo garagey, slacker-cool rock with some breakbeat and lofi electronica thrown in for fun. They're from NYC. Mp3 here.

No, I'm not talking about the extremely disturbing episode of South Park where Michael Jackson moves to town. Blanket Music is this wonderful band from Hush records (i.e., The Decemberists' label) that I simply cannot stop listening to. The lead singer has this perfect, soulful, sweet drawl, and the songs are jazzrootskitsch and completely rockin.

Although I feel that my little meandering internet experiment does not really warrant any level of seriousness regarding musings on my personal life, I do feel like some explanation may or may not be in order. Without further aplomb:

The Clinton Presidential Center (i.e. the Clinton library) opens today in Little Rock, Arkansas. Oddly, employees who work in a nearby Little Rock office building were sent a memo asking them TO LEAVE THEIR DEER HUNTING RIFLES AT HOME because an incumbent president and three former presidents are coming to town. Nah, it's too easy.

So poor Brooklyn Vegan writes today that he got totally hosed by the problems over at Rothko-- the herbivorous blogger sold his Muse tickets to see Chin Up Chin Up only to wait around until really fucking late and after he could have seen Muse. Also, Chin Up Chin Up's Rothko gig is OFF.

Things are getting nutty over on craigslist as people desperately seek Arcade Fire tickets. Hell-o people, Slayer is playing in NYC that night AND they're doing the wall of blood... sounds like an easy choice to me!
Also, one craigslister claims that the AF's self released cd ep just went for $1,000 on ebay. What. the. hell.

1. "One Of The Loudest Tragedies Ever Heard...." (Band website for mp3s)
Stats: They're from LA, began as a production team, ended up as a rock band. Produced the Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Year to Be Hated" track on YES New York. Sound like a surly Built to Spill/My Bloody Valentine hybrid. Excellent.
2. YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO. Mp3 here.

Elkland. The certain next big thing for fans of Bloc Party/Killers/Futureheads. Formula new wavey-dancey stuff, which seems a certain recipe for success these days. Anyhoo, they've signed with Columbia Records and are doing a CMJ show at Plaid tonight. Here's an mp3 from their website.

So during the VP debate last night, Cheney delivered the following zinger to John Edwards: ""The first time I ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight. ... Frankly, Senator, you have a record that's not very distinguished."
Um, okay. Well, Dick, when you lie, try to make sure first that it's not caught on tape.

Friends,
You may have heard by now that the Michigan Republican Party has called for my arrest. That's right. They literally want me brought up on charges -- and hope that I'm locked up.
No, I'm not kidding.

Is it:
(1) An obvious statement.
(2) A band that sounds like Boston would if they all wore dresses and rode around in a convertible with Dexy's Midnight Runners (e.g. the band behind "Come On Eileen").
(3) A bit of both.

So a few weeks ago, the guys that own this club Vela along with Scott Weiland and Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver and Brett Scallions of Fuel opened up Snitch, purportedly a "rock club", with the added bonus of being open 24 hours a day on weekends.
