So Turkey Day is around the corner which means the Holiday party circuit is about to kick off, (in fact it kicks off tonight with a Girlie Action party at Avalon - thanks for the invite). With this in mind Loose Record has joined forces with SESAC to bring you the (not so) Silent Night at Fat Baby on December 2nd. Check out this flyer (provided by Joe of Dirty on Purpose) for all the details. Links and even more info can be found on the Loose Event's page. As Christen pointed out this morning, I hang a bit to the left. Click flyer for full size image, (ewwww).

* Before someone decides to mention it, yes, we know a radio station throws a party of the same name, but due to appeasing some corporate sponsors we had to quickly change the name from "Deck Your Balls". We sold out. We suck. We don't care.

To continue the tooting of my left hanging horn, here are a couple of links from some recently published work.

** The Cribs listing in this week's Flavorpill. Don't forget you can still win tickets to both the Mercury Lounge (NYC) show and the Spaceland (LA) show by clicking Loose Contests and submitting an email entry.

** In yesterday's batch of Deli online updates, they posted my brief love fest regarding The Big Sleep who coincidentally are playing our show next Friday.

** The interconnected nature of this content reminds me of the ongoing tiff between Information Leafblower and Econo Culture in response to Information's list of the Top 40 American Bands. Econo Culture blasts the list on grounds that it is self-serving and racist - or that's what it implied. Then Information Leafblower fires back only to be hit with more slander from Econo Culture. This would make for one great bitch fight. Let's book the Garden and instate mandatory attendance for all bloggers. Everyone needs to stop taking this shit so seriously. It's just indie rock. It will fade away.

One Last Taste Of Rock Before Carving The Turkey.

Tonight Sam Champion makes their New York return after taking a couple of months off to tour the United States. The band is set to hit at the Mercury Lounge at 9pm sharp so make an effort to get to the club and welcome the boys home. If you heard their WOXY Lounge Act a couple weeks ago, then you know the road has done wonderful things for their sound. To make this party a la mode, the Merc has heaped Texas up-and-comers, SOUND Team on the super indie bill. Last time they stopped by the Mercury (the week before CMJ), they completely blew me away. They are certainly a band on the rise and one that should be on all your radars.

Nothing Last's Forever In That... To Obvious.

Last night was an evening of sausage and football. The Packers lost to the Viking on a last second field goal which didn't sit well with Ms. TPMs, but she knows she is not alone, (fucking Jets). Beach and Matty also stopped in to watch the game, but the big news is that Trevor is in town for a couple days before we roll back to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. If you see a bald kid with glasses looking mildly thuggish at the Mercury or Webster tonight - buy the motherfucker a drink; I promise to pay you back.
