Getting Down To Business.
Fuck the Internet. Time Warner and Apple Computers can eat me. Why do electronics continue to plague me? Yesterday 186 was graced with the presence of Road Runner high speed internet access, but much like Wile E. Coyote I have yet to catch the bastard. This means I need a Mac technician to come to my house which means I'm in need of a visit from Mikey. Please help me Mike.
Speaking of Mike, he had this point to make on yesterdays piece regarding same-sex marriage:
Bush said that a main reason behind wanting to amend the constitution is that right now "activist judges" can allow gay marriages to happen by changing the definition of marriage. That is, unless an amendment prohibiting gay unions to be marriages is added to the federal constitution, the judges can continue to skew the American definition of marriage. Bush specifically said it is a bad and irresponsible thing for said "activist judges" to do because they would be acting against the majority of public opinion.
The point on CNN was that in other similar cases in the past, like racial segregation or mixed-race-marriage, if the government waited for the public opinion to shift, we might still be debating these issues today.
How come when this nation said, we don’t favor a war, the president said something to the effect of, "sometimes a leader has to do what's best for his people, even if they don’t think it’s what is best." But now, a group that is being discriminated against, is having their right's violated and needs the governments help, but the president suddenly has to "protect the will of the majority of the public"?
If you have any thoughts on this or any issue, drop me an email. This type of open forum is important during these politically turbulent times. An ongoing dialogue may help all of us realize what we are searching for in a candidate.
So, back to Tuesday night. Around 8pm Hawkins cruised through and we headed out to Max's on Ave B. If you haven't been to this Italian hot spot, get there soon, because the home cooking is outstanding. My Rigatoni done up "Father Style" was fantastic. Big portions and a bottle of wine left me nearly comatose. Hawkins stands by the Lasagna and with good reason. They also give you olive oil for your bread, but it comes with a twist. Mixed in with the oil is a little marinara sauce and olives. Besides the shitty afro-techno beats playing over the stereo, this place gets an A all the way.
We slide over to Lit to catch up with Noah who was waiting outside. We ran into Dave and Sean Bones before heading into the bar. It was Kristin's 23rd birthday celebration, and she showed up with her crew after some sake bombing at Decibel. Funny enough, some old friends were in the bar. It's always great to catch up with UpTown Tom and other Lumis chaps. Nate, Cami and Leah eventually cruised through and we all enjoyed a drink before Noah and I headed to my house so I could say goodbye to an old friend for awhile. Don't ask, I'm doing it for Jesus.
Tonight Tonight.
So this evening should prove to be a lot of fun. First I'll be doing a low key O.C. viewing at my house prior to skipping over to the Bowery to catch Apollo Sunshine, the Fever and the Von Bondies. There is an after party at Starfoods that promises some FREE Red Stripes, but who knows if I will make it that far. Let me know if you will be at the Bowery.
Because The News Never Stops.
I may have to change my ways. Prince is planning to release a new full length and take that show on the road. This report claims he will be playing on a round stage in the center of the arenas. It should be sexy as hell.
Apparently some people weren't impressed by the Liars show. Gawker posts an email they were Cc'd on regarding last nights show at the Warsaw. This one is funny.
The kids rally behind DJ Danger Mouse's unique piece of work, the Grey Album. As EMI tries to stifle its distribution, people all over the globe are its availability.
Despite signs of increasing record sales, Tower Records has to file for Chapter 11. Could retail be a dying trend? I hope not. Get out to the record stores and blow your pay checks on something that you don't drink or put up your nose.
Next time you are on a bus or train, play the hit British game "No Love for You."
Ambulance Ltd is all growns up. They hit the road in support of their upcoming full length debut. They will be playing shows with the Stills and the Killers.
Pitchfork gives us the goods on Pete Libertine and his budding solo career. They also manage to drop in a condescending tone on their upcoming shows as a full band. Fucking Pitchfork.
Lou Barlow (most recently of Folk Implosion) takes Sebadoh back on the road. This could be a welcomed backlash to the Pixies reunion.
The Soledad Brothers third full length will hit our shores relatively soon. If you can't wait that long, read what Earlash has to say about it.
Louis C.K., the writer and director of the American Cinema Classic Pootie Tang, revisits the film with the Onion's A.V. Club. Why you ask? Who the hell knows?
Some ignorant prick is threatening the life of Darkness front man Justin Hawkins, but he could care less. This man rocks.
Noah sent me this good waste of 2 and a half minutes. The bigger you let them get, the more blood that splatters! Yeah!
Finally, Free Williamsburg dot com agrees with my Ralph Nader conspiracy. Let's keep it going.
Rock and Fucking Roll.
