THE WEEKEND
First of all, none of you should be reading this post till at least 2pm, because it’s a snow day. “Big deal,” one might say, “I haven’t had an algebra quiz in years.” Well geezer, it is a big fucking deal, as I go to a non metro school and haven’t had a snow day since the…
CHECK IT OUT: IT'S ANOTHER PHOTO POST[O]
This was New Years Eve ’09 [or was it ‘010? I dunno how that works] the pixxx aren’t assorted in any real order because wordpress hates me, but the bands were Wizardz, Natural Child, Daniel Pujol, CY, So Jazzy, Bad Cop, and Moonstone foe-toes courtesy of miss Bekah Cope The show was awesome. At least,…
SOMETIMES YR HANDS GET CLAMMY…. SOMETIMES YR RECORD PLAYER GETS CLAMMY
SHANNON AND THE CLAMS A few weeks ago, Forever Young and I were whining like bitter, old men about current pop records. The gist of the conversation was that no one is writing good “sha la la la” pop songs anymore. That is, no one is writing good “sha la la la” pop songs anymore…
MOM WON'T LET US OUT ON SCHOOL NIGHTS
Every once in a while I come across a band that I never heard of and get very angry at myself. “WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T I THINK OF [USING/PLAYING/EATING] A [GUITAR/BASS/TRASHCAN] WITH A [GUN/BANJO STRING/FLANGER]? MATTRESS happens to be one of those bands, and proves New Brunswick is the best place in all of New…
BLUE IN THE BLACKLIGHT BLACK IN THE BLUE LIGHT BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT BARACK HAS A FLESHLIGHT

LITTLE HAMILTON SUPER SHOW RECAP
Last night’s huge show at the warehouse went off without a hitch [even without The Puj] The playtimes for each band were determined randomly from some paper in a hat; if shows use this method and only charge $2 for the kids more often, we’d never miss a Little Hamilton show again. Not that we don’t like…
YOU MAKE MY HEART SING
WILD THING As far as we’re concerned Brooklyn is fine, but San Fran is where it’s at. With Ty, Thee Oh Sees,and Sylvester, it’s harder to find a bad band than a good one. Which brings us to today’s “new” band: Wild Thing is one of those groups that have realized you don’t need to…
AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS
We’ll, today’s the day. Our bags are packed, our plane is booked, and mommy’s already kissed us goodbye. See you in four days! [Or sooner, if you go to the Charleston in Brooklyn this Friday night]
