Its strange how doing nothing has left me more exhausted than a night out at the club. My evening consisted of coming home from work, reading this week’s Village Voice and cooking some vegetarian friendly dinner with Mr. Meatball. In the back of my mind was a trip to The Hanger followed by a stop into the Luna Lounge, but my body only carried me as far as Natalka’s establishment on 3rd Street. The Hanger Bar will be the site of our first Loose Record Party next Saturday at 11pm. Full details will come soon, but expect cheap drinks, some free PBR’s and a ton of robot dancing by Michael. After our quick meeting, I returned home to gawk at Captain Freedom while he preached to the choir about spreading Democracy to those who love our freedom. Doesn’t anyone else think this agenda pushing motherfucker is creepy as hell? I know the answer is yes so consider it a rhetorical question.
Wouldn’t we be better off with someone like Jack Burton running the show? If we need someone who is going to spread freedom and democracy across the land while weeding out the terrorist (read: Arab genocide), shouldn’t it be someone with a little ass kicking experience? Seriously, just replace that Budda or whatever the shit it is with a giant American flag and you get 2008’s number one republican candidate. Bruce (Mom’s significant other) has often said you can’t win the presidency unless you’re a cowboy. He said the southerners won’t trust a Yankee liberal, and despite Bruce’s shortcomings;
(i.e. His comment that a black quarterback will never win the Super Bowl. Upon the mentioning of Doug Williams he says it was a fluke. Let me say he isn’t a racist, but I am highly embarrassed when these comments are made. His best friend is African American. You just have to realize that were I’m from, bad racial humor isn’t frowned upon).
I think the old wise man may have a point especially in our current epoch. If the Democrats don’t put a John Wayne (or better yet, Jack Burton) type candidate on the block in 2008, we will surely lose to something like a McCain / Giuliani ticket. Yes, I know what you’re thinking; the Republican’s wouldn’t put a centrist like McCain on the ticket, but give the idea a hot second. You have Mr. Giuliani, who despite his infidelity is a golden boy in the eyes of many American’s because he happened to be the mayor when terrorists decided to attack our city. Couple him with a war hero, who appeals to right of the dial democrats and you’ll get election results not nearly as close as the last two, (including the election Bush stole). Ok, so I guess we’re fucked. Hopefully Tumblehawk will be around tonight so I can get Dashboard on his blue blooded ass.
Jack Burton / John McClane in 2008! A simply unbeatable ticket if they run with a campaign slogan such as, "We take what we want and leave the rest, just like your salad bar". Queue the Skynyrd and take your stroll into the Oval Office.
In hilarious news, Serkan (our database guru) was at the Arcade Fire show last night. He also got a shout out on Central Village.
*** Aaron, not Adam, Mandel reports that Interpol and Bright Eyes will be the big names on a two disc tsunami relief release by Filter Magazine. The record will also feature Franz Ferdinand, Hot Hot Heat, The Go! Team, The Futureheads and Wilco. Go purchase this on February 28th. It’s not a bad way to pitch in a small amount for a good cause.
*** Pete’s life just keeps getting better. First it’s the crack. Then it’s the dumping via text message by Ms. Moss. Now he’s been arrested for kickin and nickin.
*** And the winner for cheesiest headline ever written: Houston We Have A Definite Problem. This is fucking insane.
*** Fucking Austrians. Why would you blackball a band (let alone punk funny men The Vandals) from your club for trying to bring a little fun to the troops in Iraq. Though I don’t agree with the war, I wouldn’t call our troops murders and idiots. Those comments should be reserved for the administration.
*** In more hip hop news; program your TiVo for February 13, 2005 at 8pm on Fox. This is when 50 Cent’s much hyped appearance on The Simpsons will air. Additionally, if you like asses and asses that shake alot, check out 50 Cent's new video (Quicktime) for Disco Inferno. It's delicious, (thanks DP).
*** I can’t believe this band is putting out their debut (is it their first?) on Universal. There has been zero time for maturity. I’m all for striking while the iron’s hot, but what happens when you dilute the pool to the point of pop? This could get ugly. In the mean time, buy your Kaiser Chiefs tickets at the Mercury Lounge (with Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah!) before it gets moved to Madison Square Garden. Note to Jackass Lovers: The show is on Valentines Day so if your significant other doesn't like rock, don't buy tickets. I on the other hand am officially open for date suggestions.
*** Joining the ranks of the reissues is The Kinks. Check out the pro’s and con’s of each release. Thanks for the help Prefix.
*** Alex Kapranos adds a whole lot of sexy to politics. It’s to bad Tony Blair wasn’t of the Elton John persuasion, otherwise Alex would get exactly what he wants.
*** In a move that proves he has stones bigger than Builder’s, Mr. Publisher, Felix Dennis, has Mick Jagger warm up the crowd for him.
*** So long Analog. We’ll miss you.
*** Ikara Colt put out a record everyone who loves aggressive rock should hear. It was a shame when they decided it was time to roam. Now there are news that new bands are forming in the wake. I highly recommend you checking out their record if you like At the Drive In or Trail of Dead.

Hi
I was searching for articles on kids recipes when I came across this post, which is a bit weird really. I've enjoyed the experience but I'm not at all sure I've found what I'm looking for :0)
Just thought I'd say hello.
