Holidays = Parties
This time of year is often characterized with high stress attitudes and "to do" lists nearly a mile long. Whether your bothered by gift buying, holiday travel or final taking, one thing is for certain; with the New Year approaching rapidly, the party scene is beginning to pick up. Everyday there is a new email or friendster post announcing another holiday bash with one of three things promised: eggnog, Christmas cookies or making out. In any case, count me in. I'm planning to run a gauntlet of holiday parties throughout the next few days. Pushing yourself to exhaustion is all part of getting into the holiday spirit. This rush is worth the payoff. Nearly 2 weeks off of work will be spent at home doing absolutely nothing while watching crummy reality TV programs.
I'll be back later with party updates.
Go Birds: Monday Night Football and Me
Last night was spent taking a much needed night off. Its been awhile since a serious hang out has been in full effect. Stevo stopped by my apartment before we headed to the Beach's to watch the game between the Eagles and Dolphins while waxing over a couple of PBR's. The Eagles won so the lead warrior was more than pleased, and I was happy because I wasn't too wasted.
Street Fightin' Man: This could get fun.
With the recent Detroit Rock City rumble that took place between Jason Von Bondie and Jack "I'll Kick Your Ass Twice" White, it got me thinking that if this kind of thing happened more often, maybe there would be less indie rock. So I've decided to carve out some fights that would make scenes a bit more edgy if they actually occurred.
Los Angeles: The Bronx vs. Hoobastank (Outcome: Are you serious? Did you see the cover of The Bronx's last record. They would kick anyones ass.)
Detroit: Von Bondies vs. Slumber Party (Outcome: No question. The girls of Slumber Party wail on the Von Bondies whose egos are now the size of guitar picks.)
Philly: Burning Brides vs. The Vexers (Outcome: I hate the Burning Brides and Jen Vexer sounds so punk that she could kick your ass in the pit and out drink you.)
San Francisco: The Vue vs. The Pleased (Outcome: The Vue is lulled to sleep by The Pleased's dreamy rock songs.)
New York(1): Interpol vs. Stellastar* (Outcome: Carlos D uses his black magic to levitate Stellastar* and place them in a cage over the Hudson River.)
New York(2): The Strokes vs. The Realistics (Outcome: The Realistics decide to make the fab five not so pretty.)
New York(3): Sam Champion vs. These Bones (Outcome: I don't know what will happen, but I can't wait to see it. Don't fuck with Ryan, he looks like he can handle himself.)
Seatle: The Blood Brothers vs. Pretty Girls Make Graves (Outcome: Who gives a shit, I hope they both beat each other to a pulp.)
International: The Libertines vs. The Vines (Outcome: Pete Libertine passes out while Craig Vines has him in a sleeper hold, but Carl Libertines knocks out Craig with the Aussie's own bong.)
Finally a bit of quick news...
The Darkness proudly wave their middle fingers at the Pop Idol record as their Holiday song climbs the UK charts.
The Vines firm up their sophomore release's date. Listen to a cut on their web page.
Test your knowledge and take Rolling Stone's 2003 Pop Quiz. But I warn you; it asks questions about John Mayer's height.
That's all for now.
