Things That Will Make You Cooler...
It's true. The bar has been lowered. No longer can I see 100 shows a week. That task is left to road warriors like Dr. Yeti. Jerry is an allstar and it would have been outstanding to be on the dance floor with him in Baltimore. Alas, I've grown ill which means there has been little to no going out, but last night I was able to break free for a minute. This meant a stop at the Mercury Lounge to chat up Roth, Beach and some other folks before we grabbed Enrique and headed to the Bowery for some Be Your Own Pet. The room was pretty loose, but this is because the lead singer from the openning kicked a fire extinguisher off the wall while he was getting thrown out which caused it to burst open and cover the room. So after a few songs at a volume that wasn't anywhere near safe, I took my chemical lined throat to the basement to hang out with any goons in arm reach. The night ended with a Baseball Star's brodown which is probably why I'm so fucking tired.
Anyway, the long and sort of this post was to clue you into what's rocking my shit these days. Now I don't have the time, but I can safely say you should pick up The Black Keys' Magic Potion (Nonesuch) and Oxford Collapse's Remember the Night Parties (Sub Pop). They are two stellar rock albums currently knocking the dick out of my mouth. Great stuff. Here is a stream of Black Keys' "You Are the One" and "Your Touch" - dig it.
In terms of the weekend there are a few options on tap, but tonight Daddy Roth talked me into checking out What Made Milwaukee Famous who are opening an evening at the Bowery that includes Menomena (sooooo good) and The Long Winters. If you are of the MisShapes variety, you'll probably be checking out Girl Talk and Diplo at Irving Plaze, but please stick around for Peeping Tom. If you accidentally find yourself on the wrong side of the river, stop by Galapagos where Lio is hosting one of his infamous Crashin' In parties with special guest White Rabbits. Tomorrow night I'll be working before hitting the house party circuit. We'll see how that goes.
Good luck warriors. You're welcome for nothing. Oh, and wait until you hear the new Ice T album... or wait, he goes by Iceberg now. In any event - it kills.
