Since so many of you love a good monkey, check out this link for a gallery of monkey portraits that Tumbleweed sent me today. Monkeys are so choice.
Last night Jimmy Eat World played a sold out show at Webster Hall. Recover, Gratitude and Razorlight played in support. Outside of Razorlight, the whole show sounded emolicious from the front door. Del was stationed inside with me and apart from a couple busy moments the night went without a hitch except for one big thing; my toes were freaking freezing. Converse needs to step it up and develop Chuck Taylors with built in heaters or something. Otherwise it’s going to be a long winter. When Momma Belin reads this, it will give her more fuel for her annual argument against my persistent donning of my black low cuts.
After my shift was done, I cruised upstairs to have a listen to what Jimmy Eat World had to offer. Let’s just say I’m not a fan of what they are doing. It sounds a bit generic and though I’m not versed in the lineage of the band, it’s been done before. The kids do seem to like it though. All eyes were fixated on the boys bringing the rock. If you can sell out a venue like Webster Hall someone thinks you are doing something right.
One big jackass thing to note: I asked Mick Rock for his ID. Mick Fucking Rock. He couldn’t have been cooler about it.
This Tuesday sure has a lot to offer. If you aren’t afraid of the cold, New York City is a beautiful place. Just think of what people in Kansas have on their plate for a Tuesday evening? It definitely doesn’t contain options like this:
*** Muse and The Zutons at Webster Hall. If you aren’t one of the lucky kids to purchase a ticket to this sold out show, don’t lose hope. There is always the faintest chance that a few tickets may be sold once the show is well underway, but it may not be worth your time because at this moment the show is sold to capacity.
*** Hot of the heals of their gig as curators for the Los Angeles leg of All Tomorrow’s Parties, Modest Mouse is in town for a big night at Radio City. There are still some tickets available for this gig. If you have not seen a show in this venue, head over tonight for a great concert experience. If you miss the show, tune into Saturday Night Live this weekend where they are the musical guests. Word on the street is that Issac is learning the lyrics to the singles so he doesn’t have to lip sync. The guest host is Liam Neeson.
*** In local news, Coolfer’s favorite purveyors of pop, Elkland, is playing at the Delancey with Chicago’s Chin Up Chin Up. Winter Pageant is planning to play at Rothko, but I don’t believe the club has reopened. Pitty Sing is at Pianos, but I don’t really care for this band. Johnny Lives is playing Mercury and he’s a nice guy so go check out his rock band.
*** If you don't have Friday plans yet, now you do. This Friday Hot Snakes will be destroying the stage at the Bowery Ballroom. You can check out the full preview I contributed to this weeks issue of Flavorpill. Get your tickets before this show sells out.
