Super Tuesday.
Tonight's the night. The first Rheingold sponsored music showcase is going down at Sin-e this evening. If you aren't my friendster or not on the mailing list, the information is posted below. Make sure you come out to catch some killer rock bands like The Boxes, The Affair and These Bones, but most of all, come out for FREE beer and the chance to hear me on the decks during change over. Here are the specs:
New Music Showcase
Tuesday, March 2nd (doors 7:30pm)
@ Sin-e (Attorney between Houston & Stanton)
$5 at the door
FREE Rheingold Beer from 8-9pm (get there early)
w/ These Bones, The Boxes, The Affair, Chesterwhite
& J Good Times on the 1 & 2's (starting at 7:30pm)
If this is not enticing enough, allow the Rheingold Weekly Mailer to throw some more fuel on the burning rock flyer:
Tonight,if you head down to Sin-é for the FEATURED PICK,say 7:30ish, you will witness the first ever, unparalleled event of a lifetime. Free beer included. Yes, it's the Rheingold Music Showcase Series Part I, just a taste of what we have planned to offer NYC's emerging artists, and you, in the year ahead. Come treat yourself to fab music and fun peeps with four bands and an eclectic mix of sounds-These Bones, The Affair, The Boxes and Chesterwhite-will keep you interested in Rock. These Bones have great tunes AND a beautiful website, The Affair kicks ass, The Boxes keep the female factor in check, and Chesterwhite...see for yourself. When that biatch Sivan from B-Side introduced me to J Good Times, I knew I had to have him DJ. He works the crowd and likes it in the can!
This shit is gonna be hot hot hot.
Super Tuesday Squared.
If you haven't gone out to vote yet, then get out there and let your voice be heard. Today is know as Super Tuesday because there are 10 big democratic primaries including New York, Ohio and California. Unfortunately, I can't go to the booth today. Why you ask? Not enough time? Broken leg? Nope, keep guessing. That's right folks Mr. Belin is a registered republican. Before you go throwing me off the donkey, allow me to explain. Back in 2000 my mission was the same as it is today; keep George W. Bush out of the White House. I registered as a republican so I would have the ability to vote for John McCain in the 2000 Republican Primary. It came to my attention that my party affiliation would have to be switched a year prior to voting. If this isn't true, may burning Chernin rest in hell. Ok, that was drastic, but get out and vote anyway. The fun is just beginning to start.
Oh, and can you answer me this question. Is a former president permitted to run again? Meaning, if Bill Clinton wanted to run for president, does he have the right to do so? Is the presidential allotment 2 terms or 2 consecutive terms? Someone confirm, but you better be absolutely positive.
The Answer To The Aforementioned Question.
Pretty Paul Bothe has answered the question I posted above. He sites the 22nd Amendment for explanation purposes:
Amendment XXII
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
Thank you Paul. With this effort your retain your status of King of the Cumdumpsters. This also means that I have to take 2 tequilla shots with hot sauce. Fuck.
Preparing For Tuesday.
Yesterday was a bit of a snooze, but I did manage to burn a lot of records for tonight’s gig at Sin-e. I also downloaded the file sharing program, LimeWire. This has spawned another question. With all the people getting sued for illegally downloading music files, how is it possible for a site like LimeWire to exist? Why hasn't the government intervened and shut down this and other websites that perpetuate this so called crime? I'm guessing Mike will be the first to answer this question.
Speaking of Mike, he cruised through to hang out with the roommates before him and Builder headed to Otto's Shrunken Head to see Josh Stein's set. I was just too broke and too tired to go anywhere. Kyle, D and I sat around watching the grand finale of Average Joe II which turned out to be very disappointing. First of all, the vindictive bitch who was making the choice broke the poor Bostonian's heart. Though I'm all for seeing a Red Sox's fan get hurt by something as stupid as this, she really lead that poor guy on. She went with the buff Floridian chap who seemed, in the words of Johnny Rotton, pretty vacant. The final twist was that the lady on the show had to reveal that she used to date Fabio. The blonde model type promptly walked off the show and for what, I don't know.
Anyway, Miriam, Builder and Karen all showed up and we caught the Simpson's episode that chronicles Abe Simpson's WWII adventures in the fighting Hellfish. God bless those top notch episodes.
Enough About TV. Here Is Your News.
Today a great man that had a large part in shaping most of our lives by encouraging us to read would have turned 100. R.I.P. good doctor.
Franz Ferdinand fight the man. Industry schmucks are claiming that the band has sold out. What the fuck is wrong with the people making these claims? Franz made a great record, and the people have recognized them for it. What's the problem here? My dear Scottish boys, don't listen to these worthless allegations. Just keep churning out dance hits like it's your job. We will continue to love.
Nas gets set to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his hit record Illmatic with a double-disc reissue of the record with remixes of some of its better tracks. I can't wait to hear what Jay-Z has to say about this.
Pitchfork reviews the Walkmen's second single off of their new record and decide to give big props to their drummer. Props that are all too overdue. That guy is a little ball of energy that keeps me interested in the sleepiest of songs.
Exclaim! explores irony in modern rock using bands like the Darkness and Ween as their model. Oh, and they open up this article with an O.C. quote, but be careful, I think they call Freddy Mercury lame.
Junkmedia joins the rest of us in our collective love for the Shins. I've got to get my interview with them done so you all can see how much I love them.
And finally, the Unicorns remain a mystery. There music is great, but I think the act will loose it's allure.
That's it folks.
